What is your BIGGEST flaw?

15 years ago

I would have to say my lack of patience. I am trying to work on it but I am a born and bred New York City girl and patience does not come easy.

Ever since I moved to laid-back Florida though, it's getting easier to work on it.

Thanks

Impatience for sure. When I get an idea or want to do (or buy) something, I want to go and do it right then. When I start something, I can't sleep until it's done. When I am going somewhere, I want to already have been there and back home. I have to remember that the journey is half the fun!

My biggest flaw is thinking I have too many flaws. *Grin* Thanks for reminding me. I'd love to be able to say something clever like "I work too hard" but that wouldn't be true. In terms of running a business my biggest flaw would be procrastination and lack of focus. Actually I think I have many biggest flaws.

Authenticity is a good thing

Though there is a difference between being "authentic" and being easily moved; easily made to harken and REACT to situations - be they in relationships, business, etc.

Authenticity keeps you at peace with yourself and - unbeknownst to you - gives you power over your environment.

Being too guarded or, at the other extreme, too harkening and reactive to your environment takes away your power.

I often feel like I'm the poster child for ADHD. Work is no help; between phone calls and people asking questions I rarely can focus on something more than 5-10 minutes without interruption. Fortunately, I can delegate stuff at work.

For my online endeavors, task lists and outsourcing have been a life saver for me. Additionally, I find I'm more productive by working in blocks at a rapid pace. It works for me....

Heather Bestel 15 years ago

People generally fall into two camps: those that 'move towards' and those that 'move away', e.g. some of us work toward the goal of having more money and some of us wait until we are broke before we move at all.

When it comes to business I have to focus hard on the goal and move towards it because I know I can get easily distracted or bored. Seeing the whole journey to the goal is sometimes intimidating, but breaking it down into manageable steps is easier.

I like to have lots of projects on the go at once - but wisdom tells me to focus on one at a time to completion, or none will get done.

My biggest flaw is the tendency to gravitate toward instant gratification. Michael Jordan probably sucked at basketball when he started, the greatest foot surgeons in the world probably trembled when they started.
Because my mind has often been plagued with negativity, I go round "pushing the Pavlov button" to keep those thoughts at bay.

My biggest flaw is time management. It is something I am working on and something my life coach jammed me up recently. I am learning to actually write out a daily schedule of my task, setting each task to a specific time and committing to it. (Although I didn't do it today lol). But the past few days it has really helped me out because I get distracted easily.

I'm too much of a perfectionist - yes, it is a flaw. When I write articles or books I go through them over and over and over again. I don't submit until every single fact is check and double checked.

As you might imagine, that tends to be counterproductive sometimes and I end up completing less work than I would otherwise.

Mine is being so curious about lots of topics that, in the past, I have been easily distracted by new interests.

Two of my favorite teachers taught me to acknowledge what I consider to be flaws and then learn how to turn them to an advantage rather than trying to fight my natural tendencies or beat myself up for being less than perfect.

The late Thomas Leonard, one of the pioneers of the personal coaching industry used to say, "Endorse your worst weakness." He started out as a financial planner who was notoriously shy. He dreaded public speaking and making public presentations. In his field, at the time, that could have been a career ender.

Instead of trying to teach himself to change, he intentionally sought out ways to deliver his services over the phone so he wouldn't have to speak in public. In the process, he helped to popularize the use of teleclasses and coaching by phone-an innovation that is still making lots of folks tons of money.

Perhaps inside every "flaw" there's a new product, service or solution waiting to be born.

dorothydot 15 years ago

Guess my biggest flaw is that I'm honest to a fault. The redeeming quality is that I know how to keep quiet most of the time, and how to be gentle when I have to be honest.

For example, if a lady comes up with a huge flooopy hat full of garish colors and looking more like an umbrella than anything else, if I had to say something, I'd tell her I was "impressed with the vibrant colors in her hat".

And honesty can be used to an advantage in copywriting - I will never knowingly lie to a prospect. That's just not fair. We copywriters have far too much power in our words to be mis-using it.

There is a great poem that I first heard in Coach Carter. I think everyone can benefit from.

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.
And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Poem by: Marianne Willamson

I hope you've all been inspired

Thank you for being honest Simplyjo. The truth is that many people are bullshitting themselves (and everyone else) about their biggest flaw.

The one about expecting people to work as hard and care as much was a good one. Total nonsense of course. But your one was one of the more honest answers Simplyjo. And that's something I respect.

As a wise poster said on the first page: "My biggest flaw is not being able to articulate what my biggest flaw is."

Personally I did many stupid and mean things when I was younger and that's one of my (many) biggest flaws. I'm also cold-hearted and callous sometimes. Another flaw of mine. And I can be very lazy and slothful at times.

What's my biggest flaw?

Take your pick. I have many.

I challenge the people who say their biggest flaw is being impatient and expecting people to be as kind of them to ask someone who knows them very well what their biggest flaw is. Because I bet $100 it's something other than what they posted.
