Maximizer

Here is a little history on how I started understanding my strengths:

Even then I was constantly racking my brain for how I could make more, by either cutting cost or earning more money to gain more profit. Over time, I learned that this desire, this motivation, was called Entrepreneurism, and that it was truly my calling in life. I took these ideas and ran with them, and have since consumed my mind with maximizing (I choose this word purposely) business, making it better, more productive, smoother, less complex and more efficient.

(Now, Discover Your Strengths, p. 115) Does this sound familiar….anything to do with Dyslexia…maybe? (see previous blog entry!)

It was very fulfilling to learn that the strengths that the book identified as mine are the very activities I utilize daily in running my business. Trying to fix your weaknesses is an ongoing pedal uphill, but if you can learn to utilize your strengths it can make work seem effortless, like taking that cruise downhill. The people that make this happen are the ones that rise to the top and excel in their environment. Do you know what your strengths are?
