A lot of people are saying focus on your strengths and boost them forward. And I agree. It's very helpful and it will help you to move quicker, but there are often a couple of limiting weaknesses that really prevent you from stepping up your game.
For me, this was English. A couple of years back, I was literally not being able to communicate in English. And I've turned this around and today I'm thinking in English, I'm dreaming in English, everything is English, though that I'm German. A lot of people even don't hear my accent anymore and think that I'm German. Take one of your weaknesses and transfer it to be a strength by focusing on it.
