Everyone has short comings. It’s a fact of life. It’s how we deal with and overcome these short falls that makes us who we are and determines how far we will go. I myself have two very distinct short comings. #1 – I have no idea how marketing works. This is a problem since I have to market my business to stay in business. Does this mean I can’t be in business? Of course not. It simply means I am going to have to learn how to market myself and my business in a productive, yet subtle way. (Ideas are welcome!)
My second short coming is procrastination. I overcome this every day through determination and to do lists. I found years ago that if I didn’t write down what had to get done, I would end up doing nothing. So, the to do list has become a must have in both my personal and business life. I still push things to the side, those things at the bottom of the to do list, like writing blog posts and finishing the novel. However items at the top if the list, like client work is always completed.
Overcoming your short falls will take trial and error. No two people are alike and no two methods for overcoming a short fall will for everyone. Figuring out what you want to change and how to effect that change will bring you one step closer to reaching your goals and living the life you dream about.
Best of luck everyone!
