“As soon as you can (it could be today), find partners who are energized by the tasks that exhaust and deplete you. If you can’t find the right partner, outsource the aspects of your business that make you want to crawl back into bed.”

I love this, Sonia. Thank you 🙂

I met Yo-Yo Ma a few years ago when I was an archives intern for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is probably one of the nicest, happiest people I have ever met. Absolutely full of joy!

This article showed up in my inbox at the PERFECT time for me, as just last week I finally sat down and took the StrengthsFinder 2.0 test. Taking that test, and reading the book, were so very informative – but not just to learn my strengths. They make the same major point as is made here: we should be FOCUSING on developing our strengths; not our weaknesses. More people need to hear this message!

Thanks for this interesting post! I like the idea that the problem people encounter in building a business is not a “time managing problem ” rather energy managing problem. Focusing more on what one does best and guarantees success rather than brooding over that which is not working at least yet.

Writing is energizing, the strength I want to focus on the most. Tech challenges are draining, soon I will find that magic tech genie to erase technobabble headaches. 🙂

I have a gut feeling that this is going to be one of those landmark posts that shape my future direction. I’ve kind of instinctively known this for a long time but settled into a rut, working for customers that drive me crazy and doing endless tasks that deliver no satisfaction whatsoever.

Time to turn full circle and see where my energy lies, like Amy I feel this is a simple yet profound post, thank you so much Sonia.

The truth is, it’s not a time management problem — it’s an energy management one. This was so profound for me. I am in total agreement that we must be working in our passion. When I start working in my passion, my whole demeanor changes. Thanks, Amy

The last four points hold true in every sense. Its better to focus on what is working rather trying to spend time on those things that aren’t working. People say you should pick niche which you are passionate about, I pick up a niche and work toward it to make it a success. In short, there is nothing as such called talent. It all lies inside you. You just need to explore it.
