Whats Your Entrepreneuial Style find out how
this can help you build your network marketing mlm
business
Gold, Blue, Red or Green
GOLDS
Driven by a sense of being the responsible overseer, Gold’s are
cautious risk takers. In starting a new venture, they
require a well-developed business plan and will quickly move to
establish predictability, order, systems and established
procedures. Unlike other types they are not likely to be
diverted by opportunities outside their stated objectives or
tried and true methodology. Rarely ‘dreamers and schemers’ they
need other styles, particularly those who can foresee and
respond to changing markets and those who are best at handling
the crisis of the moment. The special gifts of Golds are
building operating teams, paying attention to details and
bringing projects to fruition on time and on budget.
BLUES
More than others, Blues yearn to establish their own
venture as a testing ground for new
ideas, whether realistic or not.
In the hub of the excitement, however they often lose
interest in the details, the daily routine and execution.
Blues will take off with limited information or a hunch,
recognizing that risks are part of the deal. They can
handle many projects at once and are highly adaptable in
changing direction to meet the demands of the
marketplace. They do not work with a predictable routine,
and delegate freely, being most productive when they can
rely on other types. They particularly need those who
deal well with people and those who set up procedures and
controls. The special gifts of Blues include seeing new
market trends and inspiring others with their
vision.
REDS
Under the right circumstances, Reds are born to be
entrepreneurs. Natural risk takers, they excel as long as what
they are doing is in demand and business is brisk. Their
competence and approach to risk is based on gut instinct,
rather than deliberation. Often with limited interest in
formal learning, they opt for practical knowledge and become
real specialists in their chosen fields. Reds do not rely on
conventional ways but approach each new project with utmost
energy and freedom of thought. Never bound by rules or
procedures, they excel in a crisis, coolly managing the
situation long after others have caved in. They are also
outstanding negotiators, sizing up each individual situation
and producing the best out of it. When strategic thinking or
organizational skills are required, however, they best
recognize their need for the talents of other types. The
special gifts of Reds include getting things done without
extensive resources.
GREENS
Rarely do they start out as
entrepreneurs. Often special
opportunities or changes in employment status prompt a series
of steps that turn into an independent venture. Greens are also
typically not driven as much by material gain as others. Rather
they get their satisfaction from providing value and expressing
their creative energies. That is both their strength and
blindspot. They succeed because they are the ultimate
‘harmonizers’ with the ability to win the loyalty of clients
and staff alike. This quality combined with superior
communication skills does make good business sense, although
soft skills are often underestimated by other styles. Greens
need to be complemented by the tough negotiating strengths of
other color groups. Their special gifts include drawing the
best from their team and creatively communicating their product
and ideas to the marketplace.
