As someone who used to avidly read and devour these personal development sites/books to "better myself", it took me a few years and occasional personal disappointment to realize that the only thing you need is to do the best you can each day and you'll learn all these lessons on your own. You improve because you're doing your best, and you accept yourself because you know you did the best you could at the time (even if that was failing).
No amount of reading and thinking about becoming better will teach you these self-development lessons, only by DOING and FAILING will you learn.
So if you're an entrepreneur that feels you have a laundry list of weaknesses to improve upon (as I did), mentally tear it up, focus on your strengths and just do the best you can each day. There's no problem getting some occassional guidance to work on an identified weakness, but following these sites that love to churn out self-improvement articles only wastes time you could be doing and learning.

- DTrejo 18y agoI think the list of weaknesses serves a purpose. It makes one pay more attention to improvement in those areas. If one ONLY focuses on strengths, weaknesses can be ignored, leading to less improvement. Though it is important to keep the list short.
