Working With Our Flaws

Yesterday, I talked about
how humans are flawed.

We’re humans.
That means
we’re flawed also.

And that’s okay.
Flaws make us special.

But we should recognize
what our flaws are
and we should work WITH them,
not against them.

I don’t like
doing the same tasks
over and over,
for example.

I went to university for accounting.

Yes, ouch.
The expected accounting role
consists of doing the same tasks
over and over.

We complete month end
in June
and there is another month end
in July
and
in August
and…

I hated that typical accounting role.
And because I hated it,
I didn’t excel in it.

I was fighting one of my ‘flaws’
and f*ck, it WAS a battle.

Then I discovered project management
and wow,
that role was easy for me.

Projects end!
I can complete them.

And each project is usually different.

My ‘flaws’ became strengths.
I’m now working WITH my nature,
not against it.
And I’ve found great success
in project management.

Accept your flaws
and your differences.
Success will come
much easier
when you work WITH your unique nature.

You Can’t Do It All Yourself

We’re intelligent beings.
We could likely
figure out
how to do just about
any task
that needs to be done.

And that might
save us a couple dollars.

But that is
A LOT of figuring out
to do.

It is much easier,
more efficient,
smarter
to give the task
to someone
who already knows
how to do it.

Because time
is our most scarce resource.

We can borrow money
to outsource a task.
We can’t borrow time.

Outsource tasks
when at all possible.

Free your time
for tasks
only YOU can do.
