I kind of disagree, I think it really depends on your weakness. I think my biggest weakness is the fact that I’m a quiet individual. I think if I were to overcome this introvertedness my strengths would shine even more.

The key is to delegate, and to build a solid team. This way when you make a presentation the team per say has no weaknesses. This being said, know your niche.

Focusing on weaknesses is not productive. It causes inertia. But awareness is helpful.
Focusing only on strengths is not productive in the long run. It makes you self-centered and repels others.
A balance between the two is best in my experience. Focus on strengths to help yourself, family, and others so that your strong points bring you to success. And in the meantime, awareness of your weaknesses makes you always strive to improve, which in turn lends to your strengths and success.

Hey Tom,

You have truly presented the problems of the aspiring entrepreneurs. And yes as you said, nobody can be prefect before the thing starts

Great stuff. Love perusing the comments and thinking about the pros and cons expressed.
Take it one more level and ask – “why do I have weaknesses?” Could be something blocking the thinking, some wrong idea or emotion. Use the weakness to discover what can change to improve overall whether you decide to do the bookkeeping yourself (for example) or not. May be as simple as not wanting to ask for help.

I so much believe in concentrating on your strengths can actually help to eliminate weaknesses as the more we concentrate on those the more amplified they become and so as our thoughts are poised on the negative then metaphysically we are sending out messages which bring us more negativity back as like attracts like. I thought I was incapable of learning any technical skills but from the moment I assigned the name Seo Virgin to myself well things changed and today I even cracked some html code, now that’s a miracle!

So from a div I became a ..haha

Great insight. Loved the use of the scrubs theme analogy by the way.
Being a renaissance man or woman is more important than ever – global competition and marginalization of what used to be considered great skills to have.
Put down the CSS book and figure out how to drive traffic and build community (at the very least).

Interesting post Tom I think the importance of overcoming any weakness is that it can help build inner personal strength of a person, and from a young entrepreneurs point of view it can help them become a high flyer next to their peers…
You only have to read some of the biographies from multi-millionaires to learn about the their only personal stories to success
