Week 2 of 52 (click here for Week 1)
Create your “Good at” list.
As sit at my computer composing this weekly “assignment”
I am thankful for you the reader who thinks enough of this project to continue
with me. It will take discipline for me to make the time to create these every
week and your comments and results inspires me to continue.
This week I’m borrowing something I’ve learned from one
of my mentors, Dean Graziosi. His lesson is that many of us have been taught to
work on improving our weaknesses instead of our strengths and he says we should
work on our strengths and let our weaknesses where they are!
I agree. When you think about it, our strengths are what truly
“make us” or what we are made up of. It is what we are natural at, is usually
easier to do with less stress, it is what we love and the biggest part of our
purpose.
Most just have not taken the leap to trust this enough to
find ways to earn money doing what we love.
Your weaknesses are not “you”, your strengths are “you”.
You only have so much time in life so work on making your strengths better.
And, by doing so some of your weaknesses will actually improve too!
Here’s what Dean asks us to do.
Create a “good at” list.
- I say we should number a list of ten. To start, think of just three things you are “good at” and add to your list over time.
- Next to each thing on the list, write at least one way that you can improve on this thing that you are “good at”.
- Move forward in your life focusing on what you are “good at”.
When an opportunity or obstacle comes your way, ask
yourself “is this something that will work for or against what it is that I’m
good at?” Make your decision and move on.

online search yourself. I am an associate with Dean in several projects. Let me
know if you would like to know about any new project he has and I’ll let you
know!
Make it a great day!
