If you really want to improve and transform yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. Brian Grant has identified the following weaknesses which may be hindering your progress: your preference for illusion, your hypersensitivity, your emotionalism, your lack of self-confidence, and your guilt.

You sometimes feel a conflict between your desire for social and professional success and your need for a stable, secure domestic life. You are deeply committed to both ideas and often find it difficult to reconcile their schedules and demands on you. Sometimes it feels as though you will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will really satisfy you if you have neglected your most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to you to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if you merely sacrifice your domestic life, you are only trying to fool yourself. You should accept the fact that your domestic life is the true foundation and basis of your development. All your career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Brian Grant is sometimes too impulsive and unrealistic in his efforts to accumulate wealth and social power. Although he engages in life with enthusiasm and confidence, he is held back by his somewhat scattered behavior. He tends to spread himself too thin, juggling so many different activities that he struggles to cross the finish line at times.
