Always Go with Your Strengths...
As you learned in Judy and Robert’s story, you are your most important product. Judy hadn’t considered her interests or abilities before she took the office job. She failed to follow one of the most important rules for success: Always go with your strengths. You need to consider the special talents, strengths, abilities, and skills that enhance your productivity and success. Take this personal inventory to get an overall picture of your assets. Feel free to add any other thoughts to your Notes at the back of this Workbook.
Your Personal Inventory
List some of your talents, skills, and abilities below. It may help to consider all the jobs you’ve held, community service, and your daily responsibilities:
1. What type of work am I best at?
2. What kind of work do I like best?
3. What’s my most obvious talent?
4. What other skills, abilities, and talents do I have?
5. What can I do to expand on these qualities?
6. What income-producing jobs could utilize these qualities?
7. Who could advise me on enhancing my income by using my strengths?
These thoughts give you a good start on expanding your income ideas. It’s within your power to develop your own plan for productivity and success—in a fulfilling job you enjoy.
“When work is a pleasure, life is a joy. When work is a duty, life is slavery.”
