and what you can do about this too
You know that “Propaganda I’m not falling for trend?” Yeah, here’s my contribution…
“Strengthen your weaknesses.”
Ohhhhhh I used to eat this up.
I bought the corporate lie that said I needed to be “well-rounded.” That success meant fixing all my flaws instead of leaning TF into my strengths.
Spoiler: That kind of thinking builds generalists.
People-pleasers.
Quiet cubicle shapeshifters.
NOT magnetic, high-impact leaders who get paid for their brilliance.
Cue the outdated interview question:
“So… what would you say are your biggest weaknesses?”
(🙄 Let me just reach into my bag of fake humility for ya…)
We need to be talking about this more:
Your strengths are what make you powerful.
They’re why you get hired.
They’re why clients say YES.
They’re the reason people trust you to solve a very real, very expensive problem.
Because let’s be real… no one is out here dropping $5K+ to work with someone who “just wants to elevate the vibe.”
They’re hiring a specialist.
A guide.
A problem-slayer.
So if you’ve been trying to patch every perceived gap in your skills…
Pause.
Look at where you’re already powerful then double down on that.
Your growth is in your genius, not your guilt.
So here’s your mini action step:
Take 5 minutes today and write down the top 3 things people always thank you for.
Not what you’re “kinda good at;” I mean the stuff that comes so naturally you sometimes forget it’s a gift.
That’s your:
…zone of genius
… your marketing goldmine
That’s what you build your business around — not your weaknesses.
And if you’re staring at a blank page thinking, “Wait… I don’t even know what my strengths are anymore?”
You’re not broken. You’re just buried under bad advice.
Let’s unearth that brilliance.
