“Expert.” It’s a daunting word.

How do we ever know if we’re an expert at anything?

Here’s how: you live, breathe and love what you do.

If you can say that much, you’re an expert.

You might not know every single fact and historical reference about the subject you love.

That’s not what being an expert is about. It’s about being willing and eager to learn.

It’s about knowing there is more to discover and putting yourself out there to go discover it.

Being an expert means you practice what you preach. You have enough experience to be able to get the job done and you do it well.

Don’t be afraid to call yourself an expert and to make the necessary moves to show the world what you can do.
