Select a subject that interests you and make an effort to become an expert in that field. I promise you, if you make the effort, and you become an expert, you will have a wonderful career.

Experience is not the poor relation of expertise. Valuable insights in business often come from the people on the ground.

We are all experts in our own little niches.

If everybody is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going exactly in the opposite direction.

No one becomes an expert in a new career overnight, even if you are coming from another career where you were established and experienced.

I'm concerned that my technical skills have advanced to the point where I can get closer to what I'm aiming for, which is not such a good thing.

Look, all you can do when you find your niche is go with it.

There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it's been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.

I'd try to become known as a world expert on 'something,' to take a small niche you can define.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.
