MARKETING IN MINUTES VLOG

Transmitters often think they’re great listeners and they can be, but it’s often for just a short time. They can fall into the trap of listening to get enough information that they can start their part of the conversation and start telling the stories they want to tell. Transmitters can become much more effective in life and much more effective in their work if they remember that everybody likes to be listened to. They can be more influential, more skillful at sharing what they want to share, more charismatic, and more desired if they learn to let other people talk and learn to draw information out of people so they feel heard and valued.

For people with a navigating instinctual bias, it’s important to make sure that you’re creating effective processes and structures for routine tasks. Navigators have a tendency to ignore things related to the preserving domain and resist structure, process, and paying attention to details. It’s as if some part of their mind is telling them that if they get too stuck in a process, they’ll lose their ability to wander and explore, either literally or intellectually. Navigators have to remember that by creating processes and structures for routine things, their life becomes more effective, more skillful, and more disciplined, which actually gives them more free time to do the navigating activities that they really enjoy and care about. So, if you’re a navigator and want to become more skillful and effective in your life and work, remember the importance of the preserving domain and creating processes and structures for repetitive activities.

Starting a business can be difficult and require a high pain tolerance.Focus on creating the best product or service that delights the customer is critical.Electric aircraft, genetics, and brain-computer interfaces are opportunities for entrepreneurs to invest in.Musk mentions the concept of a “brain internet” and intelligence augmentation as potential areas for future development.

If there was one piece of advice I would give to people with a preserving instinctual bias it would be to remember that your work doesn’t speak for itself. Preservers have a tendency to focus on getting their work done and doing it well and then expecting that other people will appreciate it, expecting that other people will notice how good they are. The reality is people won’t take the time to notice how good you are, you have to let them know. It’s not up to your boss, it’s not up to your co-workers, it’s not up to your customers to recognize how wonderful you are, it’s up to you to let them know. So, there are a couple of things specifically to remember and to work on. One is that presentation matters. How you present yourself, and how you present the work that you do should be focused on making the impression that you want to make. The second thing is it’s up to you to get the message out, it’s up to you to transmit, it’s up to you to let people know that you have certain capabilities that they need to know about. This doesn’t mean you have to be somebody who’s all focused on style and not delivering on substance; you have to do both. So, if you’re a preserver, don’t fall into your natural tendency to ignore the transmitting domain, let people know how good you are.

The most important advice I give to Enneagram type Threes is to focus on being an outstanding Leader rather than an outstanding Doer. Threes tend to excel as individual contributors, but when they find themselves in leadership roles, there can be a disconnect as they try to do things through others. Threes need to make the transition from being an outstanding doer to being an outstanding leader by understanding that there are different behaviors involved in leadership, such as developing people, giving clear instructions, being patient, and effectively pushing people. This is the single thing that leads to threes being more successful in greater areas of responsibility in organizations.

Enneagram type Twos should remember that healthy boundaries are crucial for healthy relationships. Twos tend to focus too much on creating connections and not enough on setting boundaries. It’s important for them to remember that they don’t have to always be available, focus on others’ needs, respond to every request, or solve others’ problems. Healthy boundaries create connection and respect in relationships. Twos should avoid falling into the trap of doing for others and feeling unappreciated. By establishing healthy boundaries, they can create relationships where they are valued and respected, and they don’t feel taken advantage of. In short, good fences make good neighbors.

Fives often struggle with managing their emotions, feeling that if they let them out, they will explode. It is important for fives to learn to recognize their emotions and let them out in a controlled and deliberate way, similar to letting a little bit of water out of a reservoir through a dam. This may feel artificial and mechanical at first, but it will help fives become more comfortable with experiencing their emotions, and over time, they will learn to just experience them without thinking about managing them.
