Marketing Advertising Agency

Working with my co-workers leaves me with one choice. To stay awake hours after I would have liked to rest my eyes. I don’t have time for that luxury anymore…it’s now become a “you can sleep when your dead” kind of attitude.

In my previous career, I had the luxury of taking my time to think in depth and only worry about producing. Now, I have to be able to think in depth fast and produce fast. I’ve just doubled my required talent. I need to figure out a way to be faster at attaining the speed desired per client.

 One point I’d like to make –I only see the “need for speed” as a positive. It can only help me “evolve”. I hear some people say “don’t waste your time strengthening your weaknesses” and “focus only on building your strengths”. Right now I only believe the second half of that is true. I guess it depends if you’re are thinking of the business or an individual. If an opponent is aware of your weaknesses (in games, sports, and other one-on-one activities) and you only build to your strengths -good luck! Someone will find, point out, and take advantage of those weaknesses. In business you have the advantage of building a defense around your weaknesses as a good way to compensate. My husband and I are a great example of that. Where my strengths are not, his are. Where his strengths are not, mine are. I am aware of companies that only hire people like themselves. They’re surviving –but they’re not thriving!
