Becoming a business woman can be a very intimidating thing, especially if you are a wife and a mom; and the most difficult part of the process is identifying our strengths and weaknesses.
It is important for you to realize than while your passion, confidence and sheer determination will take you far on your entrepreneurial journey, knowing your limitations and weaknesses will take you even farther.
Once you have faced your shortcomings, and embraced them; that is when the real fun begins. You will not need to feel discourage by this process, as these are the unique gifts and talents that make you who you are; and I am including your weaknesses on that bundle.
In order to identify your real strengths and weaknesses, you can ask yourself the following questions:
1. How comfortable are you making tough decisions?
2. How comfortable are you taking risks?
3. What are you passionate about?
4. Does your business will help you fulfill your passion?
5. What tangible resources do you currently have? (Financial, equipment, credit, customers, relationships, etc)
6. How committed you are to stay the course?
7. What do you personally do well? What can you bring to the table?
8. What are your gifts and talents?
9. What are your weaknesses?
10. What do you enjoy doing?
11. What do you dislike doing?
Remember, ignoring your shortcomings will come back and bite you, so it will be wiser for you to identify them and plan to fill in the blanks with people and services that will supplement the needs of your business.
