This document summarizes Jay Nolan's ideas for branding yourself and selling products based on your own ideas. It discusses developing a wax product for dental labs and focusing marketing efforts on a single product. It emphasizes focusing on one main idea and differentiating your product from competitors to stand out in the market. It also describes hiring a salesperson who helped significantly grow the customer base for the wax product from 300 to over 1,800 customers through an effective commission structure.

Co-creation brings groups together to jointly produce a mutually valued outcome.
Today’s business world: we meet to talk about what we’re going to do, we go off in our vacuum, we create something, we come back to review, we get feedback, we debate, we revise, and ultimately create something that doesn’t hit the mark from all sides. This is wildly inefficient and produces subpar products.
Pinaki Kathiari, co-founder of Local Wisdom and Stephen Garguillo, Senior Manager of Creative Engagement at Johnson & Johnson, have changed this model in their teams. Co-creation can be used with clients and agencies, companies and customers, between internal departments, basically any number multi disciplined teams looking to produce something.
In their talk 7 Do’s and Don’ts for Co-Creation, Stephen and Pinaki talk about the important aspects of how to bring people together to create fantastic outcomes. From knowing why and when you should co-create, to facilitation, and keeping a bias towards action, you’ll learn what it takes to produce awesome work together than hits the mark from all angles.
Gone are the days of one message fits all. Improve your marketing and sales efforts by crafting powerful, compelling narratives that will effectively connect with your target markets across multiple marketing channels. In a little more than a half a day, you and your business will start the transformation from one that feels 'stuck' to one that clearly can articulate how and why it stands far above the competition.
We'll focus on helping you to build powerful business narratives that will maximize audience appeal and articulate the best you have to offer in tight, targeted ways. We'll explore what it is you're really selling, why you're selling it and most importantly, why you're the one to do it. You'll explore those critical pivot points in your business journey on the Business Story Generator Canvas and we'll work together to start to find your 'secret sauce.'

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Create and sell your own new and innovative products!
11jaynolan@gmail.com
Email Jay and get on his email subscriber list for future updates
Have you ever had an idea for a product or service?
I know I have and I've been able to take
those ideas and prosper from
them.
Now it's your turn!
Perhaps you've noticed an existing product or service and
thought "I could do that, only better". Or just looking
around and noticed a void in the market place
that could be filled.
………
And yes, there have those times when you
have thought of a great idea and
did nothing with it just to
see it on TV or a
store shelf.
….
Well that was then, and now you'll begin
to learn what to do with those
ideas the next time they
come your way.
2. The Mindset
I was first introduced to idea generation
when I read a book by Robert Schuller.
In that book he suggested that ideas
come to us from God, somewhat
like eggs being planted
in our minds.
I feel like these eggs come to us filled
with the possibilities of life in the
form of products and services.
We are to incubate and
nurture them until
become
reality.
A dream is what realities are made from!
Think of it, every technology we see
around us today began with
someone’s idea or a
dream they
had.
From Google to Facebook to cell phones
and on and on. They all first started
with someone's idea. The next
Big Idea could come
from you.
….
3. I listened to a radio talk show once and
the caller was trying to tell the host
about an idea he had for a new
business so he could create
an income for himself,
and was quickly
shot down
by the
host.
He said "Ideas are a dime a dozen,
worthless". I thought, How
could this man shoot
down some one's
dream so
easily.
Everything has value!
Even a penny has value. Yes in and of itself
a penny doesn't buy much these days.
But given a little thought and
creativity a penny could
be the start to over
$1,000,000.
……
…
4. The power of Compounding!
Here's what can happen when a penny is
doubled only twenty eight times.
Day1.. 2cents..
day2..4c..
day3..8c..
day4..16c..
day5..32c..
day6..64c..
day7..$1.28c..
day8..$2.56..
day19..$5.12..
day10..$10.24..
day11..$20.48..
day12..$40.96..
day13..$81.92..
day14..$163.84..
day 15..$327.68..
6. There's a story about a man who moved from the
east coast to Colorado during the gold rush
days. He bought a claim and began to
dig for gold. He worked his claim
but was running low on funds
so he decided to sell his
claim to someone else.
He went back east,
the buyer of the
claim struck
a Gold
vain.
Wouldn't you know it, the man from the east had
stopped 3 feet short from striking one
of the richest claims of it's day.
Too often we stop short of
realizing our dreams.
So never ever, ever,
give up on the
very thing
that you
want.
7. Chapter Two
One of my Best Ideas!
I have worked in the dental industry for over
38 years. I've owned my own business for
most of those years. Going to
college, learning a skill and
watching it grow is
rewarding.
It's nothing like developing an original idea,
going through all the in's and out’s of
putting together the missing pieces
and having it finally come
together. It's your
baby.
8. Within the dental industry there was a process for
making crowns and bridges, which is the
area I worked in. Much of the process
was manufactured by hand at the
time. One of the processes in-
cluded a procedure made
…from wax….
….…..
...
After a few years I received a quarterly trade journal.
In this issue was pictured an advertisement for
a new technique and product which would
quickly increase my labs production in
one specific area. The product
showed a simple way
to wax a pattern
in half the
time.
After a few years I received a quarterly trade journal.
In this issue was pictured an advertisement for
a new technique and product which would
quickly increase my labs production in
one specific area. The product
showed a simple way
to wax a pattern
in half the
time.
9. As soon as I saw this I knew I had to have one. A
few days later my order arrived. I connected
the melting pot and loaded it with the wax
provided and I was quickly disappointed.
The wax pattern was uneven and the
textured wax, sticky and tacky.
Nothing like I had expect-
ed.This began my quest
to find an alternative
product to use.
…….
An employee had suggested a wax product she had
used at one time so I followed her advice. When
this order arrived and we began to use it, it
was almost a perfect match. Except for
some minor adjustments it was
what I was looking for.
Not to run short I
ordered more.
But then!
I couldn't believe it but as soon as I opened the
item I knew it wasn't the same. The color was
different and when applied the pattern was
brittle and useless. I was on the phone
to the company, only to be told
several times that it was the
decision of the company
to change the form-
ula. After trying
other avenues
I decided
to DIY.
10. Before the Internet
Long before the Internet, the Library was your
resource. I researched companies that manu-
factured waxes of all kinds until I found
one specifically producing waxes for
my industry. They could not
reproduce the wax I wanted
but sent a few samples
of their in stock
waxes. I began
to blend
these
until
I…
Let me say that at this point I really had no
cleargoal in mind. I simply wanted a good
re-placement for the wax I had lost.
Sometimes you’re on a quest and
don't know why, you're just
drawn to it, I think.
……..
…
After several attempts I thought I had
one I could work with. I also im-
agined that other businesses
in my industry may
be interested
in this too.
Off to...
Chicago!
11. An upcoming trade show was scheduled for February
that year. I rented a table and throughout the
weekend I demonstrated how this new
product could save them time and
increase their production efforts.
I came back with several
new orders in hand.
Sweet!
I liked this allot. There was something about this process
that was new and exciting. Here I could be creative
and possibly earn a living from it too. Although
I liked the product I developed I saw some
improvements that could be made.
Such as the color, it needed to be
lighter and it may need
to be a bit softer in
texture.
Your ideas may come to you in an imperfect condition.
You may need to tweak them until you feel they are
as perfect as they can be. Now I had no idea
(imagine that)
how to lighten the color or what to
use that may soften its texture.
So I thought I'd watch
some TV.
12. Chapter 3
A fishing story!
I was watching a TV program one afternoon featuring people
who had invented a product and successfully marketed it.
This particular segment featured a man from Alabama.
He was what you may call...a good ole boy. You
know a guy from the country.
Well like most good ole boys from Alabama his favorite
hobby was fishing. He'd spend hours fishing. Then
he began to think he should be able to catch
more fish if he had a better lure of some
kind. Now when a good ole boy starts
to think...well anything may
be possible.
13. Now a lot of fisherman make their own fishing
lures. In fact they are quite meticulous with
how they make their lures. This man was
on a different quest. He said one day
he was in his office/shed and was
looking over the top of his
desk. Now you should
have seen his desk.
I don't see how
he made heads
or tails
of it.
He said he looked down and thought "I wonder if this
would work". The simplest Ideas are often the
best. He picked up a simple rubber band
and attached it to part of the fishing
line and went fishing. The result
was immediate. He began to
catch more fish and in a
shorter period of
time.
Who knew?
He had his fishing "Bungee Cord" manufactured
and at that time was selling them in more
than 600 Wal-marts around the
country. Sweet!
14. Keep your eyes open.
That's how things often happen. You become
curious, You get on a trail and just keep
looking. Sooner or later you will
find an answer you've been
looking for. Almost
a guarantee.
Now I continued to look for innovative ways to
improve my product, when a distributor
called with a request to make a white
wax for him. It turned out I could
and I wondered if this wax
would help lighten the
color, it did and I
was able to
match the
desired
Color.
As I continued to seek out a softener I noticed one
day a basic utility wax in a drawer used as a fill
in material with a very soft texture. I made
a few samples with different ratios and
by keeping my eyes opened I was
able to complete my wax
formula. It all came
together.

Chapter 4
Remember to stay focused!
I am a fan of two of the best marketing minds
in the country. Jack Trout and Al Ries. Part-
nering together to write some of the best
marketing advice I've ever read.
Common sense advice that
both small and large
companies use
to avoid
big
m
i
s
t
a
k
e
s
.
16. http://amzn.to/1RVQhEd
Though no longer partners each ones advice is
like gold to me. In their book "21 immut-
able laws of marketing" they give
you rules for governing your
business. As they say "break
them at your own peril".
Not something
I'd advise
to do.
..
Al Ries has a outstanding book and audio that helped
me at this particular junction of my product
development. "The Power of Focus".
This concept is to have a laser
like focus when designing
a marketing and growth
plan for your busi-
ness. The mess-
age came to
me at just
the right
time.
17. Being a idea/product developer is an exhilarating
experience. It's a little addictive. Soon you'll
be drumming up more ideas for new
projects than you can accomplish.
Although I'm sure you'll give it
a try. I know because after
a short time I began to
have request to devel-
ope new products.
Can you make
this in blue,
red, green,
ty-dye.
You
name
it.
Soon I had 5 or 6 different waxes and designs for
some different products as well. None of them
were bad and each net a specific need for
my industry. This is called line exten-
sion by Al and Jack. What I didn't
know before reading about this
is that each time I created a
new wax formula it took
away from the main
product I
wanted
to sell.
18. Also with each new formula/product I made there
were new expenses associated with it. Cost of
packaging, supplies and marketing are
just a few. The main thing I realized,
the time it took away from zeroing
in on growing the sales needed
for the original product
I had developed.
Focus!
…
It had become like a toy to me...my new venture.
It was fun and yet I needed sales if I wanted to
see it come to full bloom. Developing too
many products was a distraction for
me. Psychologist may call this
ADD Attention Defecate
Disorder. I think it's just
not having a clear
enough focus.
So focus.
…
So then I decided to put the knife to most of the additional
products I had developed and concentrate on just one.
Now this is not an easy decision to make. But
by doing this an added benefit emerged...I'll
explain. Another one of Al and Jacks
teachings for me was the importance
of being first in the market.
Having the number one
position separates
you from the
competition.
…...
19. Nobody remembers #10!
An important side note!
Another piece of advice from Al and Jack was
in their book "Differentiate or Die" was how
not to try to copy the competition. Be dif-
ferent. You don't want to blend into the
marketplace you want to stand out.
Too many businesses try to copy
everyone else. You're dead.
That's why I tried some-
thing different while
writing this book.
Can you tell
what it
is?
The question for me was, "How could I become
number one", especially when I wasn't the
first one out with a wax product for this
procedure, nor was I number one in
sales, not even close.So what I
decide to do is create my
own category. I knew
my product was
useful for 3
processes
in my
I
N
D
U
S
T
R
Y.
20. Instead of creating 3 new products to cover
each of these 3 areas, I made the one
main product cover them all.
Rapid Wax Dipping Wax
The first 3 in 1 Dipping Wax
Suitable for
1-Crowns and bridges
2-Gold Crowns and
3-Pressable Ceramics
21. This was to be my main overall focus. In print, ads or
whenever talking to anyone about the product.
This reduced the cost involved in every
aspect and also broadened the usage
for that product. The total amount
of product used in my industry
for the original design was
small compared to the
two additional
procedures
added.
Also the last procedure was the latest in our industry.
So my thinking was that as the other two areas
diminished in the future, this new area
would keep us afloat. It began to
work immediately. Soon I
had acquired 300 new
customers.
Delighted?
Yes!
22. Chapter 5
When the Student is Ready the Teacher Will Appear!
This is a saying I've heard in some self help books I've read.
In my case it was a little different. When the product is
ready the salesman will appear. By this time I had
acquired 300 customers but growth had leveled.
In my industry there were 15,000 potential
customers. It seemed I was a long way
off from fulfilling that goal. One
day a salesman called me from
a small operation such my
own to sell me on pro-
duct the owner had
developed.
Like
me!
23. His spill was that they had started selling this product 6 months
ago and now had 500 customers. So I purchased an order
and never heard back from them for a while. Then one
day another salesman called a year later (a new
salesman) and gave me a similar spill…….
"We’ve been making this for
18 months and we now
have 1800 customers"
…….Huh!..........
Being curious I asked him, "How do you do that, go from
500 customers to 1800 in a year?". He said well you
hire someone like me who has a list and offer them
most of the commission on a small first order,
then you can have the rest. I thought, I
could do that. So we struck up a
deal and for the next year and
a half, he faxed in 8 new
orders a day. Granted
he made most all
the money on
those first
orders.
But!
After 6 weeks or so I began to get calls directly for repeat
orders. So we were getting repeat orders daily while
still acquiring new customers at the same time.
I placed my daughter in charge of manu-
facturing, packaging, and shipping the
product. I still had a full time
business to run, things
were looking great
at this point.
…….
….
24. After a year and a half my customer list was around 1500.
Suddenly the new orders being faxed in began to slow
down. Almost to a stop. So I called him up to check
if he was alright and he said yes but that he had
run through all the names on his list and he
hated to cold call. So he was off looking
for another product to sell. Out of the
1500 customer list I had 1000
were repeat customers.
Totally happy
customers.
Happy
as a
Lark.
Just a little side note...I never knew what that saying meant
until one day I was cutting grass on an acre or so and
noticed a group of birds flying around my riding
lawn mower. They would dip in and dip out
eating small bugs that jumped out the
ground while I passed over them.
i.e. happy as a Lark.
At this point,
so was
I.
25. Chapter 6
Manufacturing or Licensing
They're a couple of ways to go with seeing your product
and idea to market. One is the old fashioned way.
You find the money to fulfill all the obligations
and you begin to manufacture the product
yourself. Two is what I think is the best.
Licensing your idea to a company
who already has the manufactur-
ing capabilities to manufacture
your idea. You take 10 -15%
commission and you off
to the next big idea
and just repeat
the process,
over and
over
again.
One Simple Idea!
A great place to start is the book "One Simple Idea".
Written by a veteran of licensing products for more than 30 years,
Stephen Key started by working for a toy company.
Stephen was sent to China to oversee the
Teddy Ruskin project. The first talking
bear. While Stephen toiled on the
production line making sure
every bear was perfect,
there was something
missing. The
inventor of
Teddy
Ruskin.
26. Yes, Stephen had noticed that while he spent long hours
at the factory, The person who came up with the
idea for the outrageously successful toy was
nowhere to be found. In-fact he was back
at his home in the US collecting his
royalty checks. This drove Stephen
to look into the licensing model
and begin to search for a man-
ufacturer for a few of his
ideas. The first break
through was his
Michael Jordan
Basketball
Back
board.
Stephen has other ideas successfully licensed under his
belt. So much so that he has made a comfortable
living for he and his family. In his book he
guides you from start to finish. From
how to come up with worthwhile
ideas to whether you should
patent your idea
or not.
In 2010 I decided to take his advice and sent out
a few emails to distributors of my wax product
and within a few days received interest in
licensing it to one of them. Within 6
weeks I had a deal and it worked
out well for all. You have to
know when to let go.
………….
27. Now they send me a check each month
and I'm free to create new ideas!
…………….
………
Like publishing a book!
What I've tried to do in this simple E-book
is to get you started on this journey
that's interesting, fun, and
profitable.
$$$$
Never ever give up and I hope you enjoy the journey.
At the end you'll find some links to some
of my ideas that I've been able
to prosper from.
………….
……..
Next some bonus chapters.
Bonus chapters!
Prosper with other peoples ideas!
You've heard the term OPM...other peoples money.
This is when you want to start a project but
are short on cash and you look for
someone who can fund it with
their money.
…….
...
28. Here's a technique I call OPI...other peoples ideas.
Suppose you've started the idea generation
process but you still haven't seen a
situation that you feel is good
enough to move forward
with. Are you dead
in the water?
Absolutely
not.
There are several ways you can use OPI to your
advantage. Start by going to clickbank.com.
There you will find a digital marketplace.
Clickbank is the online digital store
for those who have created
products and for those
who are looking
for something
to sell.
Affiliates!
An affiliate is a good way to get your feet wet and
possibly make some cash at the same time.
You'll find a variety of categories to
chose from. Weight loss, gaming,
etc.. Once you've signed up
as an affiliate you can
send those offers to
people you know
and get paid
when they
buy.
29. The good thing about picking up some of these
digital products to sell is that you usually
don't have to bother setting up a web
site, although you can. These offers
have already done that for you.
They may have what's called
a squeeze page set up to
collect the first name
and email address
of those who
visit your
offer.
This is helpful in building a list of potential customers.
Even if they don't buy now, you have their info
to send them helpful information and in the
future additional offers as well. Just be
careful not to drown them with too
many offers. People are tired
of too much marketing.
It's better to give
than always
looking for
ways to
receive.
Often times you can find affiliate offers that contain a
recurring billing. The digital product may have
future offers attached where the customer
is billed monthly until they cancel. You
are repaid from those monthly
billings as well.
………..
…...
...
30. Also giants likes EBay and Amazon.com has
associate or affiliate opportunities too.
I'm involved in both of these on a
couple of different levels. I can
sell hard goods like cell
phones, etc. and not
just digital
products.
…….
This brings up another opportunity...Kindle ebooks.
Of which you’re reading one now. This is how
I understand this came about. People
where selling ebooks on EBay and
for some reason EBay decided
they no longer wanted to
let people sell these
on their site.
Not sure
why.
So Amazon sees the opportunity because of it's
kindle reader and it's popularity. As it is now
ebooks are a major source of $$$ for
Amazon. This gives you the chance
to become an author and bi pass
the traditional route to getting
your book published.
Amazon keeps a
small percent
and pays
you the
rest.
31. One of the main things you want to consider
when publishing through Kindle is to make
sure you have the proper editing and
formatting software. The best that
I'm familiar with is from KD
Publishing. This will let
you be able to format
your book so that
it looks good
on any
reader.
…..
The original Kindle readers were what's called gray scale
(black and white) and the new Kindle Fires are
color. Sometimes a book that looks good
and readable on a Kindle Fire doesn't
look as good on the plain Kindle
reader. If it doesn't read well
you'll get bad reviews and
no sales. Remember
perception is
everything.
……...
…..
The format of KD Publisher is specifically designed
for the Kindle device. It's like a Word processor
but also gives you title, chapters, index,
copyrighting, everything you need to
get your book ready for Kindle
Publishing. All you need
after that is a great
looking cover.
32. If your going to go to the trouble of designing a great
looking and readable ebook don't stop until
you have a great looking cover too.
You can buy software to create
your own cover or you can
go to Fivver.com and
contract someone
there to design
it for you
for
$5.
Building Your Character?
Want to get recognition for yourself or your ideas?
Consider building a character around yourself.
Meet King Human!
I began a search on YouTube for…How to make money
online and from all the variety to choose from, one
person surfaced that was hard to ignore. Not
sure where King Human is from but I
know he likes to go to Las Vegas,
allot. He not only goes to
Vegas for fun but also
to attend trade
shows.
Caution: Not all internet personalities contain clean language. Take what you can
just be aware. Decide from the start how you want to be viewed by your potential
customer audience. In my opinion a good reputation is better than Fame!
33. He looks for electronics and other gadgets he can buy at
wholesale and turn around and sell on EBay for retail.
In his videos you'll find tips for selling items on EBay
and most recently I viewed a video showing how
to spruce up your EBay page to outsell your
competition. By far better information than
I've found ……...on any other site……….
……………..…………..
………………..
…..….
King Human say's he doesn't have to drive a truck
anymore because of his work that he does online.
He offers free videos on YouTube and also has
a members only site that he charges a
monthly fee, $15-$20 to join and
you get … personal training
there on how to make
money several
different
ways!
King Human said he started out putting a couple of
videos up and then some people began liking
them and it grew from there. Now he has
lots of YouTube videos and a big fan
club with several thousand views.
But don't irritate him too much,
he's a bit...sensitive!
….You'll….
see!
So begin to think how you can develop a character
of your own and maybe you can do what
King Human calls "Making
…..Bank"!.....
………
…..
34. Audios and DVDs!
If there's something I have found I like doing, it's
recording and producing Audio Cd's and
Videos. A lot of online digital files are
created for your viewing but there is
still an opportunity for CD and
DVD production. I have
produced some sound
recordings and have
been able to profit
from them.
…..
...
For this project you'll need some recording and
editing software. Apple comes with Imovie
and garageband and Microsoft offers
Movie maker and has an audio
recorder as well. I really like
Wave Pad from nch.com
for audio recording
and editing and
Imovie for
videos.
35. A couple of my videos where simply screen captures
of something I wanted to record and then edited
them in a format to sell online. Simple.
Remember everything has Value!
…………………………..
…………………..
………..
….
A couple of out sourcing companies that I use as a full-
filment resource are Kunaki.com and Trepstar.com
these two companies enable you to either
upload your completed CDs or DVDs
to their site or you can mail them
a copy and they will house,
and produce your files,
including cd/dvd
duplication,
sales and
shipping.
…..
...
They'll provide you with links for your customers
to buy your products and they'll also take
care of credit card payments and send
you a check. They also support
bar coding so you can sell
your work on Amazon
as well.

36. Know
who
You
Are
One
important
aspect
of
being
able
to
prosper
from
your
best
ideas
is
to
know
your
personality
type
and
where
you
fit
into
the
work
place.
Knowing
yourself
is
so
important
because
many
of
us
have
begun
our
career
not
necessarily
by
our
first
choice.
Perhaps
you
married
young
and
needed
a
job
and
took
one
of
the
first
opening
you
found
at
the
time.
Or
if
you
were
like
me
you
meant
to
go
into
let’s
say
computers
and
you
were
advised
to
go
into
something
else.
It
may
have
been
several
years
now
and
your
still
on
this
treadmill
and
know
deep
down
inside
you
should
be
doing
something
your
more
suited
for,
but
not
sure
what.

Do
What
You
Are
37. The
book
Do
What
You
Are
is
a
book
I’ve
been
a
fan
of
for
many
years
now.
It
explains
that
there
16
different
personality
type
temperaments.
These
temperaments
are
listed
in
abbreviated
for
such
as
mine…ENTP.
This
suggest,
I’m
Extraverted,
Intuitive,
Thinking,
and
Perceiving.
Written
by
Paul
D.
Tieger
and
Barbara
Barron-‐
Tieger,
they
go
into
depth
about
personality
types,
give
examples
of
people
in
each
of
the
16
temperaments
as
well
as
give
a
simple
Q&A
directing
you
to
choose
your
own
temperament.
After
you
identify
your
type
you
go
to
the
segment
of
the
book
which
list
your
type.
Within
this
section
you’ll
find
sections
dedicated
to…
• What
career
satisfaction
means
to
your
type,
• Popular
Occupations
for
your
type,
• Pathways
To
success:
using
your
strengths,
• Possible
pitfalls
to
watch
for,
• The
final
piece:
Changing
or
keeping
your
job…the
key
to
success
for
your
type.
To
give
you
an
example
from
my
own
temperament
profile
here
are
ten
things
that
I
should
be
mindful
of
to
have
a
satisfying
career:
1. Gives
me
opportunities
to
engage
in
creative
problem
solving
and/or
generate
new
and
innovative
approaches
to
problems
2. Lets
me
implement
my
innovative
solutions
in
the
creation
of
more
efficiently
functioning
systems
3. Acknowledges
and
encourages
my
creativity,
competency,
and
ability
to
improvise
4. Lets
me
experience
a
variety
of
situations
filled
with
fun,
action,
and
excitement
5. Follows
a
logical
order
and
is
based
on
objective
and
fair
standards,
rather
than
the
likes
and
dislikes
of
one
individual
6. Lets
me
increase
my
professional
and
personal
power
and
interact
frequently
with
other
powerful
people
7. Lets
me
meet
and
have
constant

a
rapidly
changing,
high-‐energy
environment

significant
interaction
with
others
9. Is
done
in
an
environment
that
is
casual
and
unstructured;
where
I
can
experience
a
high
degree
of
personal
freedom,
time
off,
and
opportunity
to
operate
in
a
spontaneous
way
10. Allows
me
to
design
or
start
projects
but
does
not
require
me
to
follow
through
with
tedious
details
Well
that
seems
to
be
a
tall
order
to
fill
sometimes,
but
as
many
of
these
qualities
that
you
can
add
to
your
daily
activities,
the
happier
you
will
be
with
your
career.
Here
are
a
few
career
suggestions
for
my
temperament,
some
I’ve
been
able
to
fulfill
in
my
life,
some
I
am
