I’ve been shifting from Bloglines to Google Reader, and just finally caught up on all of my reading. One of the gems was an article from Fast Company last week on not being afraid to show your shortcomings. I thought that sounded an awful like my honesty post from Monday.
I think for an entrepreneur or a freelancer, an easy to combat the discomfort of exposing your weaknesses is to find someone who is strong where you are not and team up with them. Ideally, this is really how any entrepreneur should be hiring. In this case, you are recognizing areas that could potentially cause you trouble in the long run, and addressing those areas by finding someone who can do those tasks far better than you could on your own.
