Yes!
Yesterday we discussed your strengths in article ‘Your Success: Intellectual Entertainment’
Today, we are going to talk about weaknesses –
using Kristen
Howe’s approach. I receive her newsletters for several years and apply her
knowledge in the unknown areas.
She is NOT from the school of thought that tells
you to discover your weaknesses and
spend all your time strengthening them...
She belongs to the school of thought that
suggests that you spend 80% of your
time on your STRENGTHS... to make a massive breakthrough.
She claims:
“The day I decided to give 80% of my focus to
my strengths is the day EVERYTHING changed for me...
And yet, I remember thinking - "Okay, 80% on
my strengths - I can do that, but what about my weaknesses? Do I just ignore
them or pretend they don't
exist?"
If you feel that way too - let me help... What do
you do with your weaknesses?
Here are 3 questions to help you with this...
Question
#1:
What are my weaknesses?
Once you answer, forgive yourself - it's okay
that you aren't perfect, we ALL have
weaknesses!!!
Question
#2:
How much of my time am I spending on things
that primarily involve one or more of
my weaknesses INSTEAD of on my
strengths?
When I first asked myself this question, I was
SHOCKED at how much time I was spending on things that didn't come naturally to
me and that I really didn't enjoy. No wonder I was attracting what I didn't
want...
Like I said, for me everything changed with
this 1 shift and it will change for you too!
Question
#3:
Who do I know that has strengths where I
have weaknesses and how can I get
creative about creating a WIN/WIN so
we develop a mutually beneficial relationship that has both of us spending most of our time on our strengths?
Stop trying to be perfect and fix all your
weaknesses - that doesn't mean you
don't want to improve - improving is great!
However, here's the deal - when you spend 80% of your time on your strengths, your happiness and results will increase (because we like
what we are good at)...
Look at every area of your life and ask yourself
these questions - you'll be amazed at the results!” Kristen Howe http://www.gobigcoach.com/
Did you get the idea?
Isn’t it a breakthrough approach?
I know you will use both: strengths and weaknesses to
become successful in every area of your life!
Here are our major areas:
- Relationships (social, personal, intimate)
- Work or/ and business
- Physical skills (at home, sports, travel, professional, etc)
- Health & beauty (life style, food, pleasure, leisure, etc)
- Spiritual (origin of life, miracles, wonderful states, wellness, etc)
- Intelligence (concepts, professional and personal growth, etc)
Study each of them.
Find your strengths
and enforce them by enjoying and implementing.
Find your weaknesses
in each area – they constitute your huge potential for success and life of your
dreams.
My respect,
Natalia Levis-Fox
