Ask yourself, are you a Doer or a Thinker?
If you are looking at this question right now and saying to yourself, which one am I, then you are a ‘thinker’.
If you were a ‘doer’ you would already have the question answered.
So what is the difference?
A ‘thinker’ also known as a ‘gunna’ often has great ideas without the stamina to put those ideas into practice.
The language is also significantly different between the two.
Let’s review both:
The language a ‘thinker’ would use is:
- Can I do it?
- What If I don’t succeed?
- Should I do this?
- Is this possible?
- I’m not sure if I am the right person for the job?
- I tried but it doesn’t work for me, maybe I should let someone else do it.
As a ‘thinker’, you’re constantly sitting back waiting for things to happen or for others to make it happen.
The language a ‘doer’ uses is the complete opposite:
- I am successful
- I believe in myself
- I will do this now
- I have taken this step
- I must complete this task because it will move me onto this task
- I can do well by giving this everything I have
As a ‘doer’, you’re an action taker, prepared to step up and meet any challenge head on. You’re prepared to have a go even in the face of adversity, whether you win or lose doesn’t matter; you get out and give it your best, that is the strength of a real ‘doer’.
Have a look at any of the James Bond movies. They are all built around the act of ‘doing’ and taking action. Where would the stellar brand would be today if the action hero questioned his ability every time he was faced with danger?
It takes courage to believe in yourself, it takes courage to have a go and it takes courage to be you and that’s okay.
Give yourself permission to believe in your ideas and then go out and make them happen. Take the steps to put them into fruition, reap the rewards of the fruits of your labour and notice the difference in you.
Your confidence will grow;
Your business will increase;
Your desire to keep doing will surge; and
Your language will change.
I can’t promise it won’t be scary;
I can’t promise it won’t feel strange;
I can’t promise you success;
What I can promise you is as a ‘doer’ the doors of opportunity will open, as a ‘thinker’ they’ll always remain closed.
Take a leap of faith in yourself, remove your ‘thinking hat’ and put on your ‘doing hat’.
Step up, have a go and watch how people start to notice you and follow what you’re doing.
