Why Most People Don’t Leverage Their Strengths
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why most people stay stuck at average: they focus on becoming “well-rounded” instead of going all-in on what they do best. From ignoring natural gifts because they feel “too easy,” to wasting time trying to fix weaknesses, Paul shares how top performers achieve greatness by playing to their strengths.
If you’ve been spreading yourself thin instead of sharpening your edge, this episode will show you how to focus on what really matters.
🔑 Key takeaways:
Why being “well-rounded” is a trap that kills excellence
How to identify your natural strengths (and stop ignoring them)
Why what feels easy to you is your biggest money-making advantage
How winners build businesses around strengths, not weaknesses
The mindset shift to dominate by leaning into your unique skills
Greatness doesn’t come from being average at everything—it comes from being unstoppable at one thing.
🎯 Find your edge. Maximize it. Level up.

Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.
What's up, everybody, and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be talking about something that keeps most people stuck at average, failing failing to leverage their strengths.
You see guys, most people spend too much time trying to fix their weaknesses instead of doubling down on what they're already great at. Let's break this down.
First, society or your environment actually brainwashes you to be well-rounded. Growing up, we're told to work on our weaknesses to be good at everything.
That's a losing game, okay?
I'm telling you this from experience. The most successful people, they find out what they're naturally great at and you go all in.
That means burning the boats, guys.
Nobody cares if you're okay at everything. Be excellent at one thing.
Second, people ignore their strengths because they come easy.
The truth is your biggest money-making skill is probably something you take for granted. You assume, oh, this is too easy.
Everyone can do it. Wrong.
Just because it's easy for you doesn't mean it's easy for everyone. And that's your advantage.
Lastly, winners don't just play to their strengths. They build businesses around them.
So if you're naturally great at sales, marketing, or leadership, you need to lean into that and hire people to cover the areas that you're weak in. That's how you build real success.
Not by fixing every weakness, but by maximizing your strengths, guys. What's the bottom line? Quit wasting time fixing things that don't matter.
Find where you're best at, master it, and use it to dominate. That's how I became successful.
Thanks for tuning in to Love Up Podcast.
I'm Paul Alex, reminding you that playing it safe to your strengths and forgetting the rest is the best way to go. And as always, keep leveling up, guys.
