#573: What’s Your Weakness? (Hint: It’s Probably Not What You Think)
About this episode
Your perceived weakness can actually be your superpower -- here’s why
If you know me, you know that I can be a very sensitive person. I take what people say to heart, and when I feel any sort of negativity, or rejection, I internalize it.
Being sensitive has always been something I’ve looked at as a weakness, especially as a business owner -- and it certainly doesn’t help that our culture places a lot of emphasis on entrepreneurs being ‘tough.’
But through the help of my dear friend and mentor, Michael Hyatt, I’ve come to realize that being sensitive as a business owner isn’t actually a bad thing at all. In fact, my sensitivity allows me to be a better leader for my students, especially those who are just starting out.
So how did I unwind years of social conditioning and turn what I’ve perceived as a weakness my whole life into a strength? In this episode, you’ll find out.
You’ll also hear:
How to be more aware of negative self-talk, and stop it in its tracks
Why the language you use to describe yourself is so important
Real life examples of how my team members turned their weaknesses into superpowers
An exercise you can do NOW to rewire the negative thoughts you have about yourself
After listening to this episode, you might have an entirely new perspective on how you think about yourself, and feel that much more confident as an entrepreneur.
