That was a major topic of conversation yesterday as I traveled to Atlanta with some dear friends to attend Fabienne Fredrickson’s Millionaire Mindset seminar. The question was asked, ” Do you consider yourself an expert?” Which developed into a great discussion about the definition of an expert and why some people don’t think of themselves as an expert.
According to Wikipedia, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert) an expert is someone widely recognized as a reliable source of technique or skill whose faculty for judging or deciding rightly, justly, or wisely is accorded authority and status by their peers or the public in a specific well-distinguished domain. An expert, more generally, is a person with extensive knowledge or ability based on research, experience, or occupation and in a particular area of study.
Whew, that’s a big definition! My definition is, an expert is someone who has experience and knowledge about a particular topic and is willing to share it. This is my favorite thing to do. I love sharing things with others! It doesn’t matter if it’s knowledge, new ways to build your business online or the best place, in my opinion, to get Red Velvet Cake! So I guess I am an expert of many things. My client’s seem to think so too, here are a couple of their comments:

Terri, you’ve done it again! You’ve made something that I tend to make complex and put it in a bite sized piece for me! Thank you. Each time I read your blog, I get just a little bit more of what I need to know and feel a little more confident about the use of social media. This is no small feat for a luddite like me! ~ Melanie McGhee, L.C.S.W ~ Peacefruit.com
Thanks, Terri! Your information is always so timely and helpful. I’m going to save this article and read it over and over until I’ve done all of your tips. Great job! ~ Linda Pucci, Ph.D. ~ Inner Resource Center.com
And just this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to be recognized when I went to the mailbox! Yep, that’s right. I had received a beautiful coffee mug and leather coaster from EzineArticles CEO, Christopher Knight, acknowledging me as an EzineArticles Expert Author! Loved it!
