What is your BIGGEST flaw?

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.

I think my biggest flaw is my inability to articulate what my biggest flaw is!

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.

....too much time on forums :-)

I would say my biggest flaw is losing focus when multitasking.

I'm too easily distracted...

I just don't seem to have patience when doing things I'm not really into, which can be troublesome if it's work related. I'm also not too keen on being organized..

I have so many flaws:

Easily distracted
Lose focus
Easily bored
Disorganized
Not meticulous

my biggest flaw in my personal life would be my social skills. I tend to come off as a very raw person, too open or too accepting.

My biggest flaw in business would be over working myself, by jumping from one idea to the next.

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....

I choke on Telephone,while talking to some Important people,you know getting nervous and all,this is a really big problem for me,Hop i was more confident.

My biggest flaw??? Hmmm, would have to be lack of focus.

I have LOTS of brilliant ideas but never seem to follow through on most of them because I become distracted by the next BIG idea

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.

sounds like me, i have ADD too. big procrastinator- but when i work, i WORK

"You are only as strong as your weakest link"

mine is procrastination. biggest and very destructive

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.

Procrastination and general laziness

To talkative according to my husband, socially inept according to myself!

Procrastination...I put off replying to this thread for a week!

When I work for someone I care too much about the business. I let other things go. Not good.

So going to work for myself again..

Sometimes I can be nervous when meeting people for the first time. I'm great when you get to know me; but meeting new people is something I definitely need to work through.

I'd have to say that my biggest flaw is my computer addiction.

Hi,

I would say the fact that I am interested in so many things therefore I have information coming out of my ears lol! Very hard to stay focussed on one thing when so many others are calling to me, calling to be read, explored, investigated..... In fact I would like to make my living doing just that now I just need to work out how I could get paid to do it.

patience definetly

The belief that I have flaws.

Seems like I have the same "flaw" that a lot of folks here have: staying focused; not getting distracted.

Procrastination!

Right now - Not being able to sleep when I have to get up in 3 hours LOL

sometimes I stop working for like 2 weeks straight.

I try to do all things at once,then i end up leaving most tasks pending for weeks!

I could mention- Multitasking..sometimes it's getting me nervous - I'm sure I have to stay focused on the tasks only.

Pure laziness.

Theres no excuse for it.

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.

Settling for what I already have and not pushing myself to be better! I know I could be great but I am already comfortable with what I have so, I have no desire to push myself to be great.

I guess you could call this laziness!

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.

My biggest flaw is definitely my pride! Gets me in loads of trouble!

Biggest flaw? Seems mine is not having the get-up-and-go to get things done. At times I can be terribly lazy.

I think my biggest flaw would be that I lack confidence, but I'm working on that Flaws reveal areas where you can grow!

Hi Li,

I´m your brother : )

My lack of personal organization is preventing me from starting and finishing lots of projects, both personal. and bussiness. I´m buying a book suggested from fellow warriors, so I hope to improve it.

I think my consistency (or lack thereof) is probably the thing holding me back.

Hi all,

Interesting thread.

My biggest flaw must be the fact that I expect everyone to care as much as I do and work as hard as I do.

Oh, and paperwork... I can't stand it.

my biggest flaw is that i don't take action when i should, I procrastinate.

My biggest flaw it to waste huge amounts of time on the net doing non-productive stuff.

What me have a flaw?...

actually a great self-probing question...for me it's taking "Time" seriously...unless of course someone else keeps me waiting...I take that very seriously. :-) At least until they remind me that I have this as my Biggest flaw. Friends call it "Timmy Time." No Excuses, I do have room for improvement.

It is without patience , I hate to wait for something for a very long time

Procrastination. Why do today what you can put off tomorrow?

I think sometimes I am too serious about something. I should let something go and welcome something new to my life.

Too handsome - but I've managed to compensate by
cultivating a difficult personality.

My Biggest Flaw is .... ammm... I am not an outspoken, most of the times I find my self to be speach less and I remember answers when the time is over...

Will some one help me to over come it

Procrastination. There, I didn't procrastinate in getting that out. It's is one of many.
