The Future Belongs to Those Who Build in Their Zone

Good Morning Black Tech Saturdays,
There’s something transformative that happens when you finally step into your Genius Zone. It’s where your unique gifts, deepest passion, and greatest impact meet. It’s not just about what you’re good at—it’s about what only you can do.
When you operate in your Genius Zone, you stop chasing — And start creating. But most people never get there. Let’s talk about why.
- Zone of Incompetence: You’re doing what you’re not good at. Frustration follows.
- Zone of Competence: You’re getting by, but nothing moves you.
- Zone of Excellence: You’re admired for it—but it’s not what fills your soul.
- Zone of Genius: This is your highest, most natural state. It’s who you were designed to be.
Scaling a life or career is like scaling great technology: you don’t succeed by doing everything. You scale by doing the right things consistently — with joy, precision, and intention. That’s the genius zone.
And the most powerful thing? You don’t have to do it alone. You build a team around you that allows everyone to live in their zone of genius.
We’ve seen it firsthand:
- “When I stopped trying to do everything and focused on what I do best — my business doubled, my stress dropped, and I finally felt free. Black Tech Saturdays helped me believe that was possible.” -BTS Community Member
This Saturday’s Golf Clinic is one of those genius zone moments —connection, fun, and flow. We sold out… but we added extra tickets so YOU can still be part of it. Don’t wait.
And don’t forget:
- Save the Date – Rocket Takeover | May 17th - A first-of-its-kind Black Tech Saturdays experience to welcome you back from Spring Break. Early RSVPs unlock exclusive giveaways and sneak peeks into what’s next. RSVP for May 17th
- You were not built for burnout. You were built for brilliance. Let’s help each other find it, protect it, and build on it.
With love, alignment, and power, The Black Tech Saturdays Team
