Know your strengths

Business Management                                  

Running a business is hard and most people find that out the hard way. They fail, a lot. The difference is that some people dust themselves off and get up while others lay down. Success is all about weighing your own strengths and perseverance.

Your strengths are ultimately the keys to your success. When we do things we are already good at, our business acumen is quicker. In fact, your strengths (talents, skills, character traits) may have been the spark that drove you to want to start a business in the first place.

Often most of the meaning and fulfillment from work comes not just from being passionate about it, but from specifically choosing and being intimately connected with a deeper purpose. Starting a business only by passion is not enough to be successful. Passion will help you to be patient, but it wears off from time to time. 

You need patience, determination, commitment, acceptance, and worthy results to be successful.

In business, finding your strengths and actively playing to them is key to succeeding in any industry.

Aiyan Thiruvalluvar says

உடைத்தம் வலியறியார் ஊக்கத்தின் ஊக்கி

இடைக்கண் முரிந்தார் பலர். (473)

बोध नहीं निज शक्ति का, वश हो कर उत्साह ।
कार्य शुरू कर, बीच में, मिटे कई नरनाह ॥ (४७३)

Explanation by Scholars

There are many who, ignorant of their power (to meet it), have haughtily set out to action, and broken down in the midst of it.

தம்முடைய வலிமையின் அளவை அறியாமல் உணர்ச்சிவயப்பட்டு

ஒருசெயலைத் தொடங்கி இடையில் கெட்டுப் போனவர்கள் பலர் 

உண்டு.
