First of all if you are a specialist in something narrow, if you’re commenting on something narrow, it’s easier to learn the field. It’s easier, especially if it’s something new and emerging. It’s an easier way because you can get your hands around rather than trying to be an expert and a thought leader in a very broad field like tax planning. Instead be in a narrow, like state tax in Nevada. Much easier to get your hands around much easier to be an expert.
The second thing it does, besides being able to learn more quickly. It makes it easier for people to categorize what you know, what you are an expert in.
Those two things together help you develop a focus that allows you to become a thought leader.
