I've worked so long in fields where my job is to be critical of others that it's honestly hard to adopt a more entrepreneurial mindset.

This is almost more of a personal development or philosophy post. I'm a middle aged guy and spent my working life so far in journalism, nonprofits, and law. All of these fields have required a "critical" perspective, and I have done okay at them because that's how I am naturally. I am naturally critical and skeptical.But as I've aged I have also seen the shortcomings of being so critical, and I have admired folks who build and create and innovate in spite of the tensions they may have to overcome. I wish I could this kind of affirmative, building work, but I'm honestly not sure I have the skills or the personality to do it. I've done lots of creative writing projects, like blogs and so forth, but the sales piece of it has never been something I'm any good at. I don't have the greatest people skills in the world, which I suppose relates to the fact that I've always been more of a writer/observer.Anyway, I just wanted to share this perspective. It's strange being aware of one's own shortcomings but not really knowing how to change and break out of them. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
