Self Analysis – My Head Hurts
My goodness! Since my last post I have been doing quite a bit of self analysis. I have gotten more of my 360 answers back. The conclusions that I had come to last post were:
- 1. My avoidance of conflict and speaking my own mind and opinion is something that I want to be better with.
2. Past child hood pains (fear of the withdrawal of love when not meeting others expectations) is something I need to acknowledge and resolve as best I can. Love myself!
3. Improving my communication skills; being able to describe my authentic feelings and thoughts in such a way that do not come across defensively.
And with the additional feedback; I am finding that these things remain the same. One of the responders was a former boss and her comments surrounded a lack of self-confidence which still falls into these three main conclusions.
I would love to have any feedback on ways to improve these things; things that I can do. Some ideas that I have come up with myself are:
- Continue Blogging being as authentic as I can
- Get active on some social networking sites where I can not only exercise contributing my opinions but where I can also meet others that are doing the same thing I am. I have been active in Social Networking but I am looking more towards finding a group that I can be a part of where I may find mentors or people that I can help mentor.
- Books – Find books that I can read that may help me with these things.
(Just got an update from the Goal Development Program and there was another suggestion on how to over come lack of self-confidence – GIVE it to someone else; so find someone that needs a boost and help give that)
Others? Would love to hear thoughts; book ideas, etc for working towards improvement around these items.
The other exercise with the Goals Development Program is working on the actual goals – 2010 goals and then 10 year goals. I had already done some work here so it wasn’t real difficult. Although when I look at my mission and vision created through this program along with the content of The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber I am re-thinking the ultimate vision of the company I want to have and the steps to getting the company up and running. More accurately, these two things are combining to show me I am not thinking far enough in the future about what I want this business to be ultimately.
The Internet Marketing I have been involved with for the last six months plays a role in the present and future. I am a firm believer that the Internet must be part of any future business. This means that my primary product and the affiliate business that is being set up within the personal development industry is part of the picture. I love teaching; and my current path has led to a successful result directly in this direction; I will be teaching a Facebook for Beginners class in the spring through Colorado Free University. Should I pursue teaching and build on to the technical aspects and then move more into the personal development and growth topics in the future. Am I creating a business or another J.O.B. What can I do around the things that I love (personal development and teaching) that create an actual business that can create the freedom that I am looking for? These are all questions that I have been contemplating for the last week or so and my head is getting full! If this, then this – what about this, what about that – WHEW!
