Know Thyself

The further along I get in my venture, the more I realize how important knowing what I am good at (and as importantly what I am not good at) is.  I have a tendency to think I can and should take on anything that comes across my path if it’s an opportunity to make money.

What I am finding each day is that saying no to things I am no good at is liberating, both in time and mental energy.  It’s not only altered the consulting gigs I work on, but also my focus for the products my company is creating.

There are a lot of ways to find out what you are built to do.  I took the Kolbe A test a while back and it really helped me to refine what I am gifted in, and what I should stay away from. It’s about $50, and well worth it.

If you are not doing the work you are meant to do, the passion simply won’t be there.  The closer you get to it, the better it gets.

Are you doing the work you were cut out to do?
