Strengths and Weaknesses

As I walk along this crazy road called life, I find myself drawn to many shiny things and concepts that I pass by. The problem is I find there are only so many things I can carry.

I just don't have enough time to spend too much on any one thing, not when there are so many things I've never seen or done before. My biggest weakness in a business setting would probably be my attention span. I start out very intense and passionate with a lot of things I do. Eventually though, new things I am also intense and passionate about come in and push the older things aside. I have scuba gear in the attic, brewing supplies in my basement, and a shelf of books and video games I've never had a chance to finish or even start.

On the flip side of the coin, I try very hard to keep my word. If something important is given to me to do and people are relying on me, I generally won't let them down if it's within my power. In a business setting this means I would pull my own weight, and stick it through until everything was wrapped up. I like Andrew Fry's concept of starting a company and then turning it over for others to run or buy. That concept is very appealing and I think works well with the way I work.

Another strength, I believe, is my passion and natural leadership. Empowering people with an idea and guiding them along the path with me is something I have embarked on before. One of the biggest problems in most of these failures was not knowing what to do next, and in turn losing faith in my/our ability to succeed.
