The Power of Knowing Oneself

encouragement Jan 21, 2023

Here is a simple question: Have you ever felt so sure of yourself that you knew what others were saying about you was wrong?

How about this one...

Do you find yourself saying, “I would never do that,” only to realize when you dig deep you think to yourself, "man I do have a tendency to think that way?"

Funny thing is, we all have preconceived notions of who we are, I know I do.

We go about our days confident in the foundation we have built around our notion of self never really asking the question, who are we really?  

That's why when I began to ask these questions of myself, I was shocked to find that what I thought I knew was a bit different from what was actually true.

It started with a simple website called 16personalities.com.

You have probably heard of the Myers-Briggs personality test, who hasn't? Every focus group, business study, and mentor program I have been involved in always brings up this test. It's a proving ground for change and one that changed the very way I communicate and eventually how I run my business.

This organization has cracked the code of what it means to know one's self. They have broken down every personality into 16 different unique types conveniently defined and easy to understand. 

After taking the free exam, they share your personality profile with you and define who you are by:

  • An introduction to your type
  • Strengths and Weaknesses
  • Romantic Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Parenthood
  • Career Path
  • Workplace Habits
  • and wrap it all up with a conclusion 

It's amazing, to say the least, freaky almost as I found myself going yep that's me with almost every section. 

That's why today, I wanted to share my personality profile with you.

My results show that I am an ESTJ or what they call an Executive type. I’m basically a person who is: 

  • Extraverted
  • Observant
  • Thinking
  • Judging
  • Assertive 

You can read more about me here if you like but let me be clear, I don't share because I want to bore you with all the details about who I am, or how I react in certain situations, I do so because I wish someone shared this with me years ago. I know that by taking this test, you too will gain insight into who you are and what you were truly meant to be like I did.  

I share because if I knew about this free resource long before I made crazy, off-the-cuff, decisions about my future and career path, I would be in a much different place today. 

I say a different place because there is power in knowing who you are and what you are capable of. Most people walk through life wondering this very thing and I believe it's this very thing that's missing in today's small business culture.

Once you have the tools about yourself that I learned through taking the test, you too will feel confident in that new business venture you've been thinking about. You will feel excited about that thing you were wanting to try or better yet you will feel a sense of peace about the direction you have been needing to take to make a difference in your future.

Know that with this knowledge, you will improve! It's only through our own experience that we truly gain the knowledge and wisdom that we can bestow upon others. This is why I share this with you today.  

So here is the next step...

I suggest you head over to www.16personalities.com and take their free personality profile test. 

Once completed, they will send you your results and a few follow-up emails aimed at helping you fully understand the many gifts you can bring to yourself, your business, and ultimately those around you.

Also, once you're finished, I suggest you share the results with at least three of your closest friends and see how accurate it really it is. 

I promise you will be shocked at the results!
