Focus On Your Network Marketing Strengths For MLM Success - Part 2

Does it behoove you to focus on your network marketing strengths or weaknesses in your home business?
There's an old saying "staff your weakness."
Seek out and find other people that are good.

.
For example, organization is necessary, but it's NOT necessary that You be the one that possess that quality as one of your strengths.

Yes, you must identify what your strengths are, and you work to your strength, as in the example of Tiger Woods and all successful people in business and all walks of life.

However, in business if you are not very strong in organization, find someone you can delegate that to and staff your weakness with someone who is very strong in organization, i.e, partner, or team member...

Napoleon Hill explains that Andrew Carnegie was a phenomenal organizer. His ability to organize along with his ability to staff his weakness is what made him so successful. He surrounded himself with incredibly talented people.There are personal types that are more inclined to having exellent organization skills.

Hipocrates named those 4 types thousands of years ago and people today identify those
personality types by many different names, i.e. Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Melancholy, and Choleric, or more simply red, blue, yellow and green.

The Melancholy/green personality type is someone who's highly organized and highly detailed. They are likely to be engineers, accountants; people who are into data and detail.

The Sanguine/blue personality has more of a "people" personality. They're more unfocused and highly disorganized.

My teenage daughter, Gabrielle, is a classic blue/sanguine personality type with a short attention span and very unorganized. She extremely creative, sees the big picture instantly, and is a great people person.

My older daughter, Rebecca, has a yellow/phlegmatic personality type. They are the nurturing, giving people who are very loyal. They take care of everybody else, but themselves. They take things very personal and can be overly sensitive and are challenged to balance that, taking everything to heart.

Understanding these personality types is an invaluable skill in both your personal and business life.

As you are working 80% on your strengths and staffing your weaknesses, over time your weaknesses will improve.

By studying people skills and learning to identify personality types, you acquire the ability to be a chameleon and clearly understand how to best help someone.
