If he really wants to improve and transform himself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution:
– his insatiable appetites
– his stubbornness
– his grimness
– his reluctance to change

Joseph Quinn may experience discord in relationships. Although Joseph Quinn is friendly and outgoing and commits himself to friendships and partnerships, Joseph Quinn often finds it difficult to balance his own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs.

To understand and overcome this problem, Joseph Quinn should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If Joseph Quinn succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

As a result of Joseph Quinn’s great ambitions, he is fairly organized. He is able to work long and hard to achieve his goals and elaborates fairly rigid strategies to protect himself against any foreseeable obstacles. Joseph Quinn is so absorbed in his business he does not always realize that he tends to be somewhat peremptory with the people around him and that he might do well to soften his tone and be more tactful at times. His friendships seem stifling and superfluous to him, and he is sometimes tormented by inner conflict when he is forced to submit to another’s will. To succeed, Joseph Quinn should work to be less dogmatic. Trust in himself and other people and flexibility.
