Are You a Doer or Creator?

One day you woke up and decided to become a business owner or a solo practitioner. It may have been when you were five years old or after an unfulfilling career in corporate America. It may have come from a need, or passion, or both. Either way, one of the reasons you made this decision is to do what you are best at; whatever that is.

But are you doing the things you are really good at? Are you fulfilling a strong desire or passion through your business, or are you sitting behind your computer wondering why things aren’t working? We all have natural talents and strengths; what are yours?

This week I received a call from a solopreneur who couldn’t understand why he was feeling unmotivated and deflated about the state of his business. When I asked him what he does each day he recited a litany of boring tasks – I know they are boring to him because his voice was flat and lifeless. When I asked him how he’d prefer spending his working hours he said that he loves the challenge of thinking of the next great idea, proposing it, closing the deal and building relationships. His voice became bright and hopeful as he focused on his passion.

The bottom line is that this man is a socializer and creator. His follow through is poor and his relationships - and his bank account - suffer because of it. It’s no wonder; trying to force a socializer/creator type into the doer position is like fitting a square peg into a round hole! It will never work for long term and if you try to force it, your life and business will suffer.

For the most immediate relief to his pain, my distraught caller has two choices; he can outsource or bring someone aboard to execute the plan or he can go to work for a company who needs an outstanding relationship builder. What’s most important is that, since our conversation, he is aware that there is nothing wrong with him; he simply isn’t focusing on his strengths. Once he removes himself from what he sees as the drudgery of execution, this soloist will thrive.

What are your strengths? How much of your day is spent doing what you most enjoy? Knowing your strengths and focusing on your needs will bring you joy and help your business grow. You may think you know yourself well, but doing an assessment may bring the answers to a long-standing mystery. What do you need to change to take your business to the next level?

There are many wonderful assessment tools available to us today. I highly recommend that you find one that’s right for you to gain a greater understanding of yourself and to position your business for growth.
For a simple, yet powerful assessment pick up a copy of Tom Rath’s StrengthFinder 2.0. Work smart on your business, do what you are best at, and enjoy the results in 2011!

The Market Ticker - Bill Still: An Interesting New Approach

This is worth watching....

Eight minutes, and when you've done so, take a gander at this link.

Bill is attempting something I've not seen before - a "kickstart" effort, in effect, a "micro-funding" model for his new venture. 

If you find yourself in agreement with what Bill is up to, here's a chance to make your voice worth something more than a post on The Internet.

On Liberty - Nov 22,2010

As we come into Thanksgiving, one question arises - what are we giving thanks for? Is the basic set of liberties that our forefathers fou9ght and died for still alive? We'll explore the implications of not only the TSA nonsense but also the other loss of liberties over the decades - and how we, as sheep, quietly consent as we meander toward literal slavery.

Do It Yourself for Less: Nine Ways to Save Big Money

Filed under: Budgets, Extracurriculars, Home, Family Money, Economizer

Last month we told you about some tasks you're better off letting the pros handle--because messing up could cost you way more than you'd ever save by doing it yourself. But if you're looking for ways to save money, there are a number of tasks you can handle.

Some are jobs anybody can do; others take a little bit of know-how and the willingness to plunge in and get your hands dirty (sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally). But you're nearly guaranteed to save big bucks, and there's also the satisfaction that comes from doing something for yourself.

The 10 Asian Tech Companies That Are Putting American Ones To Shame (BIDU, GOOG, EBAY, AMZN)

American internet companies are the dominant tech companies around the world, with one glaring exception.

In China, and Asia more broadly, they're struggling to make a mark.

It's not for lack of trying, either.

U.S. tech companies keep trying to enter the Asian markets, and yet, they learn the hard way, over and over again, that Asian tech companies are entrenched, smart, and understand their markets better.

For a country used to winning, it's an embarrassing prediciament.

So what's going on here? And who are these upstart Asian companies?

Four Ways Builders Sell Against Your Flip

Great deals for investors are found everywhere, including neighborhoods where builders are still trying to move homes. A neighborhood right down the street from where I live has an active production builder that I would say had a decent 2010.� In that same subdivision, there have been a handful of rehabbed foreclosures that seemed to [...]

Re-Gen Revolution

Every day, 18 Americans die while waiting for an organ transplant. Kamen is confounded by the thought that even in second decade of the 21st century, if your liver or heart fails, it requires the death of another human for your life to be saved. Even more alarming is the fact that approximately 1,500 children die each year while waiting for an organ donor. If scientists could grow new tissue and organs in the lab and safely implant them, Dean of Invention asks, would the days of desperate patients waiting for organ donors become a distant memory?

The Birds and Beatles? Steve Baldwin Rocks with The Meetles and Brooklyn's Green Parrots (Interview)

I've told you about Strawberry Fields. I've told you about The Meetles. I'm now gonna tell you about one of The Meetles who has another very cool urban community-building hobby: the wild parrots of Brooklyn. How did parrots get to the BK? "There are a lot of wild theories," says Baldwin, "bet the theory that has the greatest credence among ornithologists is that a shipment of parrots destined for sale at New York area pet shops was accidentally released at Kennedy Airport in the late 1960's." So, when he's not rocking the subway and/or Central Park with Read the full story on Planet Green
