As promised, it’s time to get colourful!! 
However, before I do, I want to share something with you. I believe in and am committed to life long learning. So I subscribe to numerous newsletters and listen in to a number of teleseminars. I don’t always agree with what’s being taught, but I believe it is important to be informed and that there might be some little pearl that’s useful. I had this situation the other day.
A Facebook friend put up a link to a teleseminar that was just about to start on prospect generation. I had a bit of time on my hands so I joined in. There was some really great information and I will share some of it with you in the future, but the speaker completely trashed the strategy that I subscribe to – being that you build relationships and then the business. His whole take on the scenario was that if you want friends, go join a social club – building a successful MLM business is not about making friends or relationships, it is purely about numbers. WOW!!
Let me just say, if I have trampled on that strategy, I apologise. I realised that in my enthusiasm for my particular strategy I may have run over others. It is not for me to make a judgement call on what is the right method, as there is no 1 right method. Everybody needs to find the method that is right for them – mine is about creating relationships so that my prospects know that I am trustworthy, that I have THEIR interests at heart and that I will support them to help them achieve the success that they want.
So, onto the colours and personalities…..Do you just like to have fun? Does analysing facts & figures (and compensation plans) give you relaxation? Do you just want to be friends? Are you on a mission and won’t let anything get in your way? Depending on which one of these questions you relate to the most determines which personality type you are. Now we all have a bit of each in ourselves and that percentage can vary from moment to moment, but there is usually 1 or 2 types that are most dominant.
In this post I want to focus on the go getters, the “I am on a mission”…as these are the business builders. These are the guys (and I use that term generically) that we all want to sponsor as they will build your business for you. They are the reds or cholerics and they are all about achievement, success and money. They are super focussed and will not need much if any support from you. However, there is a down side….these guys only make up about 15% of the population and you will not be able to teach them anything.
You will recognise them when they walk into a room as they command immediate respect just by their presence. Do not keep a red waiting as they will not give you a 2nd chance. That said though, once they are committed, they will run and be hugely successful.
As we go through these, I ask you to have a look at yourself…work out what colour you are. Have a look at your nearest and dearest – have some fun working others out. It is easier to start with people you know to work out colours and then you will get your confidence in working out other people.
