Introvert Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people. Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge." When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective. Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk. Extraverts (E): E-types want to know what is going on, be included in all communications, and be given the opportunity to talk everything through. They develop their thoughts through interaction with others and thinking our loud. Once they are involved and engaged, they talk a lot - and quite rapidly - continually building on what others are saying. In their excitement, they tend to interrupt a lot. Introverts (I): I-types prefer written communication as it gives them space to formulate and think through ideas before airing them in public. With verbal communication, they need time to reflect on what is being said, and then be given an opening to speak - which can be difficult in a meeting dominated by E-types. They may offer few nonverbal clues about what is going on inside their heads, which can lead E-types to think I-types are not interested or involved. Etypes may even assume that the I-type is too stupid to respond.

Personality Type #1 Pessimistic People who are pessimistic think that their garden has nothing but weeds. They focus on the negative. Everyone is out to get them, and every sales pitch is a scam. If your target audience is pessimistic, you need to develop a well-crafted script that focuses on handling objections. Pessimism is only good when it allows you to see through bad business proposals and shifty sales techniques.

If you yourself are pessimistic, this could be something that is harming your business without you even knowing it. Do you always complain and focus on the negative?

Do you look for the mistakes people make instead of praising their strengths? Being a leader is crucial to success in Network Marketing. The best leaders help people without putting them down.

Personality Type #2 Optimistic People who are optimistic think that their garden has no weeds. They put their blinders on and refuse to let others dampen their spirits. Its very difficult to find optimistic prospects. Optimism usually comes after someone has tried your product and has a positive result.

Optimism can have its negative effects on a home-based business, even though the person is thinking positive thoughts. If you constantly live in a world where nothing can be wrong with your company or your upline, youll fall into costly traps that you should have otherwise been aware of.

Mentoring people with nothing but optimism can be counter-productive as well. People need guidance in the right direction. Telling them everything is always perfect doesnt help them overcome obstacles.

Personality Type #3 Realistic People who are realistic know that there will always be a few weeds in their garden. They see things for what they really are, and are able to understand why things happen the way they do. Realistic prospects will know there is a price, but they will also know their is a value to what you are

promoting. They trust people to an extent. They know when to back away from a bad deal or pending money on things that will probably not work or that are merely hype.

Many times being a realist is the best route to take in Network Marketing. You can step outside of the world your company tries to keep you in so you can look back in and see it for what its worth. You can decipher what you like and what you dont like, and make changes accordingly.

The only time being a realist might have its flaws is dealing with personal development. In order to be a good leader, you must have a vision and hope for that vision. When times get rough, you need to be able to have more optimism than realism to get you to over your hurdle. The people you lead need inspiration that comes from looking beyond whats real and imagining whats possible, no matter what.

A strategy that every leader should strive for in Network Marketing should be to acquire a good balance between all 3 personality types. Too much of one or the others can have a counter-productive effect so extreme it could keep a business down for good. For things to change, you need to change.

Proper marketing education stresses the importance of acquiring and maintaining

productive personality traits and how to best apply them to explode your homebased business. If your company isnt teaching you this, and other techniques on how to be a leader instead of a distributor, its time to change your way of thinking all on your own.
