Why your 'weaknesses' might hold the key...
. . .
I’ve always struggled to take things slowly.
Those who know me more closely know me as a bit fidgety and often in a rush.
I often think about my future, my next book idea, the next course I want to take, and the next country I want to visit.
I often think long and deeply about topics, crises and issues, often to the point of being obsessive.
I lose sleep over things most people consider ‘not a big deal.’
It’s one of the main reasons I teach the things I’ve often struggled with:
Overthinking
Anxiety
Life as an introvert
Building confidence
Emotional resilience
These are topics I could talk about for hours.
I used to think because I struggled with these things, I wasn’t in a position to coach, write about them, or teach them.
But then people started to approach me for help with these things. I’d help, I’d coach, and I’d advise.
And people’s lives would actually improve.
My whole business is built on these kinds of topics.
I am further along in my own journey now. And I benefit greatly when I remember to slow down and find patience for things worth pursuing.
When I do, I notice significant improvements in life.
So here’s my point:
Your perceived ‘weaknesses’ are often doorways to your greatest opportunities.
They are part of your journey, and you have more profound insights into these things than most.
They can offer tremendous leverage when approached with awareness.
What happens when you turn a perceived weakness of yours into a strength?
I wouldn’t have figured half of this stuff out without regularly writing.
When you write often about your challenges and strengths, as I have done, you’ll be surprised by how your confidence grows.
Online Writing Alchemy is not a cheap course, nor is it for the non-committed. But it will show you how to improve your writing by 1% every day from someone who’s learned it through years of attempts and thousands of mistakes.
When your writing improves, you’ll see impact, and you won’t want to stop.
