Episode 33: Playing to Your Strengths and Overcoming Your Weaknesses, with Anthony Witt

Anthony Lee Witt is the founder and creator of The Champion Entrepreneur. He has spent his life looking for how he can create and provide value for others and their business. In short, this is exactly what The Champion Entrepreneur is all about; providing valuable information and resources to help others become the champion that they know deep down inside they are. Like most entrepreneurs and individuals in this life, Anthony has had his fair share of struggles. He believes that no matter who you are there have been one or two struggles which have held you back from becoming the champion you were made to be. He helps others overcome these struggles because we are all made with unique attributes and strengths.

Focusing on strengths is one of the ways Anthony has become a Champion. He personally has been blessed with the inability to properly take the written word and make sense of it in his mind. This is more commonly known as dyslexia. This disability or more appropriately, this weakness has plagued him his entire life. From determining how he would be able to pass a driving exam to ordering food at a restaurant or even being able to spell his children’s full names. By looking at the negatives for years, Anthony held himself back and his ability to help others and provide value for those he came in contact with.

Because of this weakness he has developed a keen sense of understanding and an ability to connect with people, helping them find their true calling. By focusing on strengths and not weaknesses he has been able to analyze situations and develop practical and usable plans for overcoming what holds you back. Converting weaknesses to strengths and focusing on those strengths has made a world of difference in his personal and professional life. Anthony absolutely loves helping others do the same in their lives.

He is a father, a husband, a brother, a son, and an entrepreneur. In all, he strives to be a Champion one day at a time.
