5 of My Biggest Weaknesses That Hold Me Back (Do You Share Any of These?!)

Create Beautifully™

I'm always thinking about the things that feel harder for me than for other creative entrepreneurs. It's likely that I have ADHD and I'm also an Enneagram 7 (Wondering what the enneagram is? Check out this episode first.) so some of things I really struggle with are:

1. Shiny object syndrome
2. Disorganization - well, constantly searching for the PERFECT organizational system for whatever I'm working on.
3. ALLLLLL the new ideas flooding my brain
4. Inconsistency
5. Feeling behind (because of inconsistency, which is caused by the disorganization and the shiny object syndrome)

And, you know friend, it's REALLY hard to create a sustainable expanding business when you struggle with the aforementioned things. I KNOW I'm not alone in this, which is why I'm sharing my experience, sitting here as a 43 year old and contemplating why I'm not "further along."

I share what I've come to learn and that's really & truly embracing a way of working that works FOR YOU. That's not revolutionary, but sometimes we need to be reminding of that, to be given the permission to deviate from what someone else says works for them or from what has typically been taught as the only or "right" way. We also need to be reminded that our way MIGHT BE A LITTLE SLOWER than other people's. But we need to remember that it's a lot faster to do things as they best work with our brains than to try to do it some other way that leaves us confused, disorganized, frustrated and possibly shamed.
