The Solo Grind
Welcome to the solo grind. Your weekly coffee break with a fellow solo entrepreneur who's right there in it with you. I am Teresa Schlup the original caffeine creative and this is where real business meets real life. No hype just honest conversations about building a business on your own terms. We talk mindset, strategy, burnout, breakthroughs, and everything in between because going solo doesn't mean doing it alone.
Grab a cup of coffee, find your favorite spot, and let's talk about what it really takes to do this thing solo.
The Solo Grind
Knowing Your Strengths Is Only the Beginning
We talk a lot about discovering our strengths. But knowing what you’re good at is only the first step. The real shift happens when you stop collecting insights and start using what you know about yourself to make better decisions, avoid unnecessary detours, and build a life and business that actually fits.
Today, I am sharing my own experience with discovering my strengths and how I have used that knowledge to build the business and life I was dreaming of. I am sharing a few different assessments, how to quickly analyze the results so you can actually benefit, and how to find the right people to fill in the gaps where you need extra guidance and support.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
- Knowing your strengths is just one tiny piece of unlocking the puzzle for success
- Understanding what is shared and applying that knowledge is to key to moving the needle forward
- When we can recognize our strengths with clarity, and own them with confidence we can better see where we shine.
- How to understand those assessments so we can put this knowledge to good use.
- Where we struggle isn't a weakness. It is where we need guidance, support or plain old release and delegation
- It's okay to look beyond your inner circle to find the support you need to build the business and life of your dream.
