Q: I am very high Steadiness and Compliant behavioral style, with a little over 50% Dominance. How do I bring out more of that D?? My thought is to hire someone to help me. I feel like I would work better (be braver) if I had a helper in my business. Should I do it to help boost my self confidence? Get me started?
~ Annita
A: Annita, in order to raise your “D, it’s like changing any other behavior or trait. First you have to recognize where it’s low and how that’s impact your business? Do you hold back from speaking up, approaching people, asking for a sale, etc.?
When you realize you’ve held back, you have to make a conscious choice the next time you’re in that situation to choose a different behavior.
It’s all about awareness and reprogramming – in the moment.
As far as what you wrote about hiring someone, I do believe hiring an admin person can create a boost in your productivity because you need to be organized and working in order to pass work onto them.
As to whether it will create a boost in your self-esteem, there is only one known thing that can do that – taking the actions that you are afraid to take. Get started and then the confidence will come.
