I have strengths and things that come natural to me that allow me to be successful in what I do.  However, I also have weaknesses that I struggle to overcome everyday that hold my business back.  You can’t do it all, and the sooner you find out what you suck at the sooner you can be on your path to greatness.

For example, today I am looking at starting over on my QuickBooks file for the year because I am about as disorganized as I could possibly be.  If I were just a little more organized, I would finish projects faster and make much more money because I would keep up with records better and bill a lot more of my time than I currently do.  I struggle with this, but really need to force myself to slow down and track everything.  It really doesn’t take that long to do once everything is setup, but it is just so out of my nature to do so.

You need to examine your business and find out what you personally or the business as a whole sucks at doing.  Once you identify your weakness, find the best way to overcome that obstacle.  It may be as simple as putting forth more effort, getting your spouse to help, or it could come in the form of hiring more help.  Regardless, eliminating your weakness is a big step in preparing yourself for success.
