Appraising Your Appraisal

Now that you’ve taken a sincere look at what you do well and what you don’t and it’s on paper and visible, we can move forward with vigor.

Let’s examine what we don’t do so well. Our liabilities, so to speak. It doesn’t matter what they are, but for me, my history contains episodes of me starting projects with zest and not finishing them.For every problem, there’s a solution. The solution may not come from you, but others around you, in person, in reading, writing, or quiet contemplation.

Years ago I read that most people don’t but should “hire to their weaknesses.” Meaning we have a tendency to hire and associate with people who do things well in the same areas we do well. It’s comfortable but doesn’t make for a well rounded team. Your endeavors will require more than your efforts alone. You will need the expertise of others. Others more estude in your liabilities.

When monetary means are lacking, offer equity or barter for an exchange of services. This concept is rather straightforward and here’s how we put the play together. Eliminate weakness and “pump up” our positives or amplify our assets. Each liability for you is or will be an asset for another team member or counselor. But rather than building a team without focus, the exercise you completed offers clarity on what your true needs currently are.

Next we’ll speak on how to lead your team.

Today, Tuesday, July 19, 2022, I am grateful that:

A little pressure has been relieved. There’s an enormous amount of stress when I don’t have clarity. When I’m focused and know what needs to get done, I move with certainty. I’m feeling that once again, so there’s far less stress than before.

D.C. invited me to audit his current educational course offering. Some things are an honor and privilege. This is one of those occasions. I’m happy to attend and grateful for the invite and the scheduling.

All I need, I possess. I’ve got more assets than liabilities, but all that I have is more than enough. I can and will amplify what I do well and collaborate with those that do well what I don’t. This next phase of development is going to be exceptional.

Looking at your appraisal, draft a list of the characteristics of people who do well what you don’t.

Do you need one person or ten? The number is irrelevant. What’s relevant is that you have a number.

Think of people you know that possess those traits. Begin asking yourself what you can offer them for their services.

DO NOT approach them yet. That’s a little further along in the process.

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
