The Strengths within You

You have been told many things throughout your life. Some of these are:

·       You can do/be anything you want to do/be.

·       You need to be better at (whatever) like (whomever).

·       You need to be well-rounded.

·       You need to achieve success.

Many of these statements are generic with no explanation or guide on how to truly get there. Most are simply just not true.  Many can be detrimental to your growth as a human being and as an entrepreneur.

Know that you are unique. Within you are innate talents that make you uniquely you. Some of these talents have been invested in through skill building, practice or gaining knowledge to become strengths. You can leverage these strengths to overcome challenges both personally and professionally.

Even as adults we are often focused on what is wrong with us; what we need to fix. The best approach is one that examines what is RIGHT with you instead of what is wrong with you. The outcome is a positive, quicker, and stronger development of what you already naturally do well. Building upon this idea, know that you really cannot do/be anything you want to do/be. You do not need to be better at (whatever) like (whomever). You do not need to be well-rounded.  You just need to be YOU!

You do need to define what success truly means for YOU. Knowing all of this will be freeing for you. It will allow you to embrace the best you!

In business like in life, you need to recognize what you can do well and what you should contract out. Sometimes we are so consumed with life, we do not have time to get to know who we really are. The most efficient way to determine this is by an assessment of your talents. You can try to do this yourself, but I highly recommend finding a coach who is certified in the assessment you want. It will change your life.

Knowing yourself, truly knowing yourself, will help you to understand that you have what you need to be a success! Your unique innate talents and strengths can be utilized to reach the success that you have defined for yourself. Afterall, YOU are the best you there is!
