Requiring sleep and only having 24 hours each day to work with.

That's me. I have a real lack of focus. I'm always enthusiastic about a new project, but as soon as the "new" wears off, I want to move on to the next project. So I have a lot of stuff that's done half-assed and not performing nearly as well as it should.

Been spending my time lately trying to reign in some of my many works-in-progress. It's paying off, slowly but surely.

Ross · 04-23-2004, 04:20 AM

I'm the same as Sly. Too many idea's not enough time to make them work.

I try different things. I keep moving on, if I were to stick to the one thing and master it I would do a lot better. But I always want fresh stuff.

Not the worst thing in the world but its not helping me any either.

xclusive · 04-23-2004, 04:26 AM

My biggest fault is perfection. I'm not being conceted because it is a flaw. I have to have things just right when in reality most of the time it's fine and I should move on to the next thing.

My main problems oddly contradict each other.

When I am motivated, I work like hell and ignore much of what is in my life.

When I am NOT motivated I barely work.

DaLord · 04-23-2004, 04:42 AM

Keeping focus and not get too lazy when making too much money.

slackologist · 04-23-2004, 04:58 AM

time management. [which is magnified by a baby daughter and another on the way] :-)

GTS Mark · 04-23-2004, 07:34 AM

I would say one of my biggest weaknesses is organization. I have never been a detail oriented person, that is why I have extremely organized people work for me.

I usually have 10,000 deals on the go and people around here just shake their heads sometimes trying to keep up. LOL!

so what's your biggest PROBLEM?

Mine is doing too many differnt things at one time and not focusing on just one thing... Ive been working on that and it shows with knockboots.com

EddiePulp · 04-23-2004, 07:41 AM

Study... I want to have something behind me so I'll continue to finish my degree. Sometimes its the biz or uni. Lately I've been choosing the biz, but when things get serious at uni I'll choose Uni.

04-23-2004, 07:44 AM

Sticking with one thing at a time. Getting distracted easily by unimpo.... look mom, a flying breadroll.. wheeee...

Joesho · 04-23-2004, 07:48 AM

I have to many to list them all, lol! But a few:

I get bored easily and therefore tend to start something and not finish it.

I can be TOO tight with spending money on my company.

I am old and set in my ways as far as how I think about things.

I play it safe sometimes to my detriment.

I would rather do something myself than teach somone else to do it and save myself time and aggravation.

Yeah, it's all about ME, ME, ME.

D-Money · 04-23-2004, 09:11 AM

I have too many people calling me leaving stupid messages that fill up my voice mail. Hard to delete them fast enough to make room for more. Guess I should get that fixed and ask for more storage from Verizon.

Chocolate.

I can't program or do web design, must be subbed out. If I could only build the programs I dream up.

I read GFY too much.

I pick up lost dogs with collars and call their owners to come pick them up. Just did that this morning again. Butchie was a bit lost and almost got hit by a car. His owners were stoked. But I spilled my coffee on my in my efforts saving the lil' guy.

I can't stay up as late as I used to. Once I hit the play button, I'm out cold in 30 minutes or less.

I'm a mess.

I completely totally hate myself, my habbits and my ability to be a complete failure at everything and on top of that, I hate life completely.

It's a small weakness but I feel it's holding me back a little.

warlock5 · 04-23-2004, 10:11 AM

My weakness would be spending time that I don't have reading threads just like this one

Rich J. · 04-23-2004, 10:44 AM

I'm a perfectionist (or OCD, same shit but whatever). When I am putting my name on a project I want it to be flawless at completion and I can't move on to the next thing until it is. This isn't always a problem but sometimes you just need to do the damn thing and move on.

beergood · 04-23-2004, 10:45 AM

I'm an alcoholic.

tootie · 04-23-2004, 10:51 AM

Money (or lack thereof) is DEFINATELY the biggest thing holding me back at the moment.

PERSONALLY, the biggest thing holding me back is time management, I guess. Or being able to concentrate with distractions and jump right back into work after a distraction.

I have a serious problem managing my time because of all the things going on around me. For example, right now I am having a huge problem concentrating because my 8 month old is screaming. I have to feed her every 2-3 hours (and, ahem, I'm the only one that can do it), and it takes me a while to get back into the swing of things.

I'm seriously behind on bills, I haven't had a day off in 4 weeks, I've been working from the very moment I get up until right before I go to bed, only sleeping about 5-6 hours a night for the past 6 weeks trying to get caught up on bills, but I only have about 4 solid hours of work time per day because I have to take care of her and my other kids, housekeeping, eating, sleeping, etc.

Of course, it all goes back to the money. If I had more money then I could be working on my own personal projects right now in order to advance my future recurring income instead of spending ALL my time every day designing for other people just trying to pay my bills. It seems like a neverending cycle.

Peter Romero · 04-23-2004, 10:58 AM

It's very hard for me to trust ANYONE - and it seems that when I finally do - they fuck me.

Technically, I need help. Give me a set of directions and my mind wanders - but let me watch, or help you do something and I will learn things that you don't even notice. And then I got it wired imediately. Take away my eyes and I'm dead.

Then also - I'm a horny bastard! But, that motivates me to work - so that's my best asset in the porno biz.

tgpmakers · 04-23-2004, 11:04 AM

Mine has to be designing i can't design a fucking thing thats why i create stuff for designers to use. Can program anything anytime anywhere but designing well your either born with it or not.

quiet · 04-23-2004, 01:51 PM

delegating to others, without a doubt (i've been saying this for years). i currently have 3 employees that are working out well for now, but it was a long road to get there. i could do more with more employees, but i'm a control freak and hate delegating. there are also the issues WG brought up.

chAos · 04-23-2004, 02:19 PM

Control ... i love to control everything and in doing so it makes it impossible to get anything done cause i am constantly doing everything just a little bit... i am working on delegating to my coworkers things that are too large for me to handle on my own
