Ep 023 // Identify Your Strengths & Create a Unique Business with Katie Proctor (CLARITY)
Summary: <p>Have you ever found yourself wondering with questions like:</p><p> "How do I figure out what I'm really good at?"</p><p>"What are my strengths?"</p><p>"How do other people see me?"</p><p>"How do I create a business that's uniquely <em>me?</em>"</p><p>We've all asked these questions a million times over because it's hard to see ourselves as others see us. </p><p>Sometimes when we're really good at something, when it comes easily to us, it doesn't even feel like a strength. The truth is, other people can't do that thing like you can. So in today's Clarity episode, we talk about exactly how to leverage "<em>your </em>thing".</p> <pre><code> <img class="thumb-image" data-image="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/586c0773ebbd1a367d451544/t/58f3f87b6a49630966628c81/1492383879549/" data-image-dimensions="714x710" data-image-focal-point="0.5,0.5" data-load="false" data-image-id="58f3f87b6a49630966628c81" data-type="image" src="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/586c0773ebbd1a367d451544/t/58f3f87b6a49630966628c81/1492383879549/?format=1000w" /> </code></pre> <p> </p><p>Here's what we get into today, and guys, it's a juicy one:</p><ul> <li>Why getting better at your weaknesses is bad advice, and what you should do instead to grow exponentially </li> <li>Where burnout REALLY comes from, and how knowing + using your strengths prevents it</li> <li>How to figure out what you're even good at in the first place</li> <li>How to use your unique strengths to differentiate your business</li> <li>How to take your top strengths & translate them into actual revenue</li> </ul><p>We also talk about a real example of one of Katie's big strengths, and how she made a shift in her business model to capitalize on that. </p><p>After you listen, I'd love to hear from you on instagram: Do you think you should try to improve your weaknesses?
