Starting your own business and walking away from the 9-5 does take a leap of faith. At a certain point you have to believe that you can do it no matter what and don't look back. You are right on.

I'm not sure I totally agree with you - although I do have a lot of sympathy with your concern that people focus too much on their weaknesses! Very much so! Personally, I figure out where to put the extra effort in based upon how much I'm going to get out. Sometimes that means putting in a day's training to cover a weakness but sometimes it involves a day's training on developing a strength... I just do which is going to be most value-for-money (well, value for time, but you know what I mean). Of course, it means I need to spend a little bit of time figuring out where my effort is best spent and that's time I could be spending doing something, but I figure that 10 minutes thinking will be paid back over and over if I figure out what I should spend the rest of the day learning or developing. It's not about any one approach *always*. Not for me, at least! :) Simon Hi.

Also. I find that reading business related books before bed is guaranteeing a sleepless mind-racing night. However, there are two books that have been completely life changing recently: 1) 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris www.fourhourworkweek.com 2) Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk www.crushitbook.com David Allen's Getting Things Done was definitely an inspiration. That was another life changing piece of work a few years ago. I would love to bounce some ideas and thoughts off people concerning these books.
