Duncan Nugget® #47: Focus on Your Strengths, Manage Your Weaknesses

Nov


One of the secrets of success is to constantly get better at what you do best and learn to manage or delegate when it comes to your weaknesses.

Focus on your strengths, manage your weaknesses.

Spend SOME of your time focusing on your weaknesses; spend MOST of your time focusing on your strengths.

In other words focus more on what you CAN do and less on what you can’t do. It’s not a question of “what’s wrong with you?”

According to research, 50% of all college students max out their credit cards. So, make sure you have limit that you can manage and only use your card for emergencies and necessities…
