Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths and Weaknesses

Below are the highs and lows or my Strengths and Weakness self assessment.

Strengths - High scores: Aptitudes, Perseverance, need for success, high tolerance towards ambiguity, and Enthusiasm

Weaknesses – Low scores: Lure of power and control, self sufficiency/freedom

Strengths: I seem to have a highly adaptive skillset; in a sport term I can move from one field of work to another and become proficient quickly. I spent a decade as a licensed tradesman where I became interested in machine reliability (adaptive).

I transitioned into a reliability role, spent three years and became a SME. As a Maintenance Reliability Specialist, I had the ability to steer Maintenance efforts in areas where I view as needing change. I view this position as a goaltender in the NHL – if your team wins, the team is successful, if the team loses, it was bad goaltending. In downtime situations, or equipment selection there is increased focus on how you orient yourself. Over time this increases your resolve, and decreases negative emotion associated with high pressure situations. (high tolerance towards ambiguity)

After this I transitioned into a management role where I now am responsible for 9 tradesmen, a large budget, and oversee Maintenance of a facility valued over $750 Million (need for success). I continually look at careers and think: I could do that, I bet I can do this better. If I put my mind to something, I always believe I will be able to accomplish that task.

Weaknesses: Although I have a need for success, I do not seek power for the sake of power and control (lure of power and control). I have always wanted to make peoples day-to-day lives better at work, and try to eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic delays. I also do not seek total freedom, most days I enjoy working for someone(contributing), and having people report to me. Currently I am considered middle management, I have the ability to influence and prioritize my day, and also have the freedom to take time off when needed. (self sufficiency/freedom)

Techno Mae's Blog 113

In Week 13 of TECH101, we dive into the world of entrepreneurial finance and venture capital—definitely one of the most eye-opening lectures so far. Finance is often the part of entrepreneurship that seems intimidating, but this session helped break it down into something much more approachable and strategic.

One of the biggest takeaways for me was understanding the different types of funding available to startups. We explored personal savings, angel investors, venture capital, and even revenue-based financing. Each one comes with its own pros and cons. For example, venture capital can give your startup the boost it needs to grow quickly, but you usually have to give up a portion of ownership in return. That trade-off is something every founder needs to think carefully about. The lecture also explained the different stages of funding—like seed funding, Series A, B, and so on. At first, I didn’t realize how structured the fundraising process could be. These stages help both entrepreneurs and investors stay aligned in terms of expectations, goals, and valuations as the startup evolves.

I also found it really interesting when we discussed revenue-based financing (RBF). It’s a less traditional option but super practical for startups that are already generating revenue. Instead of giving away equity, founders repay investors with a percentage of their earnings over time. It’s flexible and doesn’t dilute ownership, which can be a huge advantage depending on your business model. What really stuck with me was how much emphasis was placed on financial planning. It's not just about getting the money—it's about knowing exactly how you’ll use it to grow. Investors want to see solid financial forecasts and a clear plan for reaching milestones. That level of preparation shows you're serious and builds trust.

By the end of the session, it was clear that understanding your funding options isn’t just a financial decision—it’s a strategic one. As someone hoping to build something in the future, this lecture helped me see that fundraising isn’t just about pitching ideas. It’s about finding the right partners, knowing your numbers, and being thoughtful about long-term impact. Overall, Week 13 gave me a deeper appreciation for how finance shapes a startup’s journey—and how smart financial decisions can make or break your vision.

The Evolving Monetary System: From Real Money to Debt-Based Currency Opportunities

We discuss how President Nixon separated the gold standard from the U.S. dollar in 1971, leading to the Petrodollar agreement in 1974 that made the U.S. dollar the global currency for oil transactions. However, this agreement is now being abandoned by Saudi Arabia, potentially weakening the U.S. dollar. We also explore the new monetary system based on debt, and how to utilize debt to create passive income and acquire businesses for free through 100% financing.
