What are my Strengths and Weaknesses?


What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Hmm, this has taken some thought on my part to answer. I like to think positive about myself and not focus on my weaknesses, however, I am finding that thinking about it I see some areas that need to change.
One of my strengths is I am a people person! I enjoy talking and listening to people, learning about them and how I might be able to help them out. I enjoy being a social butterfly when my body allows it. However, I also like to be a homebody, the internet and email helps with that since most people have email or Facebook. I feel that this strength helps me in the real estate business since people know me and are comfortable talking with me. I can learn what they are looking for and help them achieve that goal. Not all the time is the conversation about real estate, some days the conversation is about their children. These conversations give me great insight and I might come across an activity the children would love to attend.
Another strength I think is that I am always eager to learn. I love learning about topics I am interested in. Learning always fascinates me since I might figure out another way to do things or maybe even something completely new! Since I am always learning I feel that I grow more in the business and in life.

A large weakness I have is self-esteem. Wow that was hard to put on paper. I really do struggle with self-esteem, for some odd reason. Why would I say this is a weakness? Well, I take a mess up or typo to heart and beat myself up over it longer than I should. I think it could be a strength since I strive to avoid those mistakes. However, I am human and know no one is perfect. If I feel someone is upset with me I tend to over think what I did or said. I also apologize a lot. Something I need to work on.
To overcome this I, tend to have conversations with myself sort of like little pep talks. I fix my mistakes as quickly as I can and learn from them as I go.
