Business Coaching Ideas - Number 4
Focus on Strengths or Weaknesses?
In our business, should we work on correcting our weaknesses or focus on improving our strengths? Focusing on your weaknesses is a cop out and is acknowledging the hold that the fear of failure has in your life and on your business.
We should absolutely focus on our strengths. We are here for only a short time and we should put as much back into the world through our strengths as we possibly can.
But most people focus on their weaknesses and do you know why? Because of the fear of failure of ridicule if they improve their strengths above the average. They don’t want to stick their head above the crowd and have everyone look at them. It’s far easier to quietly focus on improving a weakness where there are plenty of excuses for why you can’t achieve, than stepping out of the average and becoming genuinely good at something.
This doesn’t mean you need to be the greatest at anything, it just means give the best you can with what you have, where you are. Stop looking for excuses.
