THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES ARE USED FOR
MEMBERS OF MY INNER CIRCLE MASTERMIND.
Check out some of their stories here:
Being a part of the Inner Circle
has literally changed our
business. It went from 0 to 60 in
2.28 seconds. (Yeah James,
you're not the only Tesla fan!)
Prior to the Inner Circle, our
biggest launch was around
$28K. However, after just 3
months of being a part of this
amazing mastermind group, we
had our biggest launch EVER... over $300K!!!
This year has been a breakthrough year for us in so many ways.
We've overcome fears. We’ve gained so much wisdom and
confidence. — The Tag Team Party Peeps

OFFER

Module 3.1
Introduction
INTRODUCTION
“How are you expected to grow your business if you are
selling something no one wants?”
“What’s your oer?”
90% of failed promos will come back down to an OFFER PROBLEM. In
fact, most struggling entrepreneurs are struggling, BECAUSE they have
failed to master the art of crafting and communicating irresistible offers.
And if you wanted a 100% GUARANTEED strategy for increasing your
revenue in the next 12 months, it’s as simple as:
Put More Oers in Front of More People. Simple.
Ask for more sales from more people, and you have massively
increased your odds of making more money. BUT
What if you don’t know HOW to craft a great oer?
What if you’re doing it all wrong?
62
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
Module 3.1
Introduction
THE THREE RULES TO FOLLOW
WHEN CRAFTING YOUR OFFER
OFFER RULE #1: _____________________
People are buying ____________________ ...because, no one
wants a course... THEY WANT THE ________________.
Your people want the OUTCOME, and if you aren’t directly
speaking to that specific TRANSFORMATION, you are leaving
massive amounts of sales on the table and denying customers
the help they actually need.
An “OFFER” is a verb. It’s an ________________.
OFFER RULE #2: Your course is your __________________. Your
OFFER is the __________________ in which you present or sell your
course that makes buying it a __________________.
The 90/10 of Irresistible Oers is your _______________________.
OFFER RULE #3: All IRRESISTIBLE OFFERS solve a
_______________ and speak to the desired __________________ of how
the prospect’s life can be ___________________.
So, are you spending more of your time talking about your
course or your prospect’s TRANSFORMATION?
63
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
Module 3.1
Introduction
CLARIFYING THE TRANSFORMATION
If this is the 90/10 of a GREAT OFFER, we can’t afford to get this one
wrong. So, to do this effectively, there IS a process involved. Skipping the
process, rushing it or doing it wrong will only hurt your sales. And in
order to do this, we simply start with where your prospect is right now at
this moment.
__________________________________________________________
Put It Into Action
In order to do this exercise properly, you’ll have to ERASE *ALL* of your
existing products and courses in your mind. You’ll need to remove all
attachment and meaning to what you’ve already created and be 100%
present with your prospect as if TODAY was the first day you started
your business. In fact, THEY are technically crafting the oer, NOT you!
Ta ke a moment now a n d g e t p re s e n t with yo u r i d e a l c u s to m e r. C l o s e
your eyes if you need to, and simply connect with them. See them in your
mind’s eye. And when you are ready, answer the following questions.
1. What is the specific PROBLEM or STRUGGLE that your ideal customer is
experiencing right now? How are THEY describing it in their own words?

Introduction
Example: Video Traffic Academy
VTA is my ole’ YouTube course. And over the years, sooo many tried to
sell the same thing, and couldn’t. Why? They got the oer all wrong! My
audience is primarily online entrepreneurs, mainly course creators.
Here are my answers to the above questions:
1. What is the specific PROBLEM or STRUGGLE that your ideal
customer is experiencing right now? How are THEY describing it
in their own words?
Not enough sales and customers. Not consistent. Not a big enough list
or following. They are lost and confused about what is the best
marketing strategy for their business... how to get people to find them.
2. What circumstances are currently present in their lives? What do
they have that they don’t want? What do they NOT have that
they DO want?
Not enough sales, revenue, doing mostly everything themselves,
spending all day doing social media that doesn’t work, and would
prefer to have a better strategy, stronger community/audience/
following and more consistent sales/revenue
3. If we took a video camera to them to film their day, what would
the camera capture?
In front of the computer working way too long, too hard writing
blog posts that don’t get read, and hanging out in Facebook
Groups and on social media for hours with nothing to show for it.

Introduction
4. What thoughts do they say to themselves exactly? How do they feel?
Am I really cut out for this? What if this never works? What am I
going to do if I don’t/can’t figure this out? They feel discouraged,
deflated, tired, uninspired.
5. Why haven’t they been able to solve this problem already?
They haven’t found the right strategy that works for them... most
likely NO strategy at all... just staying busy on social media.
We are ALL in the business of SOLVING PROBLEMS. And this first
piece of the exercise is designed to elicit the SPECIFIC problems your
prospect is dealing with.
When your prospect has a specific problem, they are focused on
finding a specific solution. They want the specialist, NOT the person
promising everything.
So, in order to NAIL the TRANSFORMATION, you’re simply going to
look to the OPPOSITE of the answers you came up with to the
questions above.
If someone is struggling to make more sales...
...the transformation is MORE SALES.
If someone is struggling to find a girlfriend...
...the transformation is a GIRLFRIEND!

Module 3.1
Introduction
IF someone is struggling to find their dream job...
...the transformation is their DREAM JOB!
It’s simple, really. The transformation just speaks to the ABSENCE of
the problem and the ACTUAL thing they want. So, are you speaking to
the transformation, or are you just describing your course?
Everything people want is because fundamentally they believe it will
make them feel good... or happy... or at peace. So, we must not ignore
the emotional states, thoughts, and feelings that come with this
transformation. (i.e.: Don’t be a robot!)
How will your customers feel now?
What will they think?
What will their new emotional state be?
Let’s try this one, shall we?
Take a moment to reconnect with your prospect and the answers you
wrote down in the “Before” Column, then when you are ready, answer
the following questions...
1. What results do they have NOW? (Be specific. Be clear. Be tangible.)
2. How do they FEEL now? What do they say to themselves?
3. Who ARE they now?

6. What is the CONSEQUENCE of not solving this problem?
___________________________
Example: Video Traffic Academy
1. What results do they have NOW? (Be specific. Be clear. Be tangible.)
Their videos found at the top of Google and YouTube for the
actual search terms their prospects are using... they are getting
found. They have VIEWS, comments (a following!) They are
building their list, and its bringing them more sales. And better
yet, people treat them dierently... like a celebrity! Selling is easy,
it’s an attraction process now... not an uphill battle!
2. How do they FEEL now? What do they say to themselves?
They feel inspired. Happy. Successful... finally! They feel like they
are finally stepping into that authority leadership role!
3. Who ARE they now?
A Thought Leader in their industry
4. If we filmed them for a day, what would the camera capture?

Module 3.1
Introduction
We would see videos that are 6 months old... a year old now
getting ranking at the top of search engines... views going up...
sales increasing. This person is making even more videos, higher
quality ones now because this process is working so well, they no
longer waste their day on stu that doesn’t work. They are
focused, clear and confident.
5. How does solving this positively aect other areas of their life?
More time with family. Product placement deals, a book deal,
connecting with other influencers becomes easier... they are famous!
6. What is the CONSEQUENCE of not solving this problem?
Eventually, if they don’t find a solution to their marketing problem,
the doors will have to close and they’ll have to go back to get a JOB.

EXAMPLES FROM OUR STUDENTS
Let’s take a close look at some of the examples from our actual clients
and students and my notes on these.
James’ notes IN RED*
EXAMPLE #1: AMY K.
1. What is the specific PROBLEM or STRUGGLE that your ideal
customer experiencing right now? How are THEY describing it in
their own words?
My guys can’t sell. They don’t know how to close. No one can
close like I do. How do I give my sales team a kick in the ass?
*So ultimately, I can’t SCALE my sales and increase revenue independent of
myself, the core problem is a loss of a massive potential revenue.
My husband is driving me insane. He also happens to be my biz
partner. How do I fire him without imploding my marriage?
*I would not include this, irrelevant.
My biz partner was my best friend when we started. Now he’s an
ass and he’s ruining morale. How do I tell him he needs to go?
*I would not include this, irrelevant.!

Introduction
6. What thoughts do they say to themselves exactly? How do they feel?
How fuckin’ hard is it to close a deal? How hard is it to get o
your ass and go do what you need to do? Really, Bob? After
twenty years you decide to not do a damn thing for the last three
and now I’m the bad guy for having to call you on it? Really guys,
you didn’t think the customer was going to be pissed when we
shipped three weeks after we promised?

Frustrated, isolated and like they carry the entire financial burden
for their company’s success – like they’re the only ones who get it
and give 150%

made, tough conversations being successfully navigated, people

does pay off – that they aren’t a failure when it comes to business.
7. What is the CONSEQUENCE of not solving this problem?
Business could fail, people could be laid off or the leader/biz owner
just keeps working harder and harder for the biz to remain status
quo and he feeds himself the comparison condition all day long.

Nailing The Promise Part 1
NAILING THE PROMISE PART 1
Your Offer Is Not
Your Product
What your offer IS promising is simply to deliver what you said you
would deliver: be it coaching, content, community, etc. Information and
Support that is DESIGNED TO help one solve their problem and get them
to their desired transformation. The key phrase here beingdesigned to.
Your PROM ISE is to t he del iverables, NOT to what they do with it. Why?
Because YOU are *NOT* RESPONSIBLE for someone else’s LIFE! They are!
But in short, if you struggle here with this bit, remember two things:
#1. People don’t WANT your course, so you must SPEAK to the
_____________________
#2. Your Promise is to your deliverables... not a guarantee that they
will use it.
Key Phrases that we can use to highlight these are...
“This Program is designed to... (transformation)”
“This is the EXACT PROCESS I used to... (transformation)”
“XYZ Product Enables ___ Avatar ___ like you to ___ (transformation)”

The Pricing Framework
The Pricing Framework
How can you use PRICE eectively
to INCREASE that desire?
Here are some ideas:
Compare your product to alternative more expensive options.
Ex: Your Fitness Membership vs a Gym Membership + Personal Trainer
Compare your product to other more expensive services you provide.
Ex: My VIP Day at $15,000 a day
Share what it’s COSTING them ($$$) to not have this solution.
Ex: How many sales are you leaving on the table by NOT doing this?
Oer a Payment Plan.
Oer a Trial.
Anchor it by positioning it next to a more expensive alternative
(minimum of 3x price increase) you sell as well.
Ex: Upgrade to VIP for $4,997

Module 3.6
The Pricing Framework
BOTTOM LINE: PRICE IS RELATIVE
How can you better demonstrate that this PRICE is a no-brainer price?
And by the way, the VALUE/TRANSFORMATION you deliver needs to
be a minimum of 10 times the price... so if you haven’t demonstrated that
value, chances are... they won’t buy.
How will you position your price to increase desire?

Bundles & Bonuses

bundles & bonuses
This is as simple as ADDING VALUE to the oer. We have a promo
process inside BBD that shows exactly how I did a BUNDLE sale for 2
days and did $5,000 to a small segment.
I simply said,
“Hey you can get Course #2 for FREE ($297)
when you buy Course #1 today for $97.
By adding additional products/services to the offer, you add value to
something that the prospect was most-likely already sold on... now you’ve
pushed them over the fence! Hence, the no-brainer! You can also do this
with BONUSES. Or to use different verbiage: gifts, goodies, extra training!
I look at BONUSES like I do products in Sharper Image (remember that
place!) Cool stuff people WANT but probably wouldn’t buy on their own!
Bonus for VTA include:
A Video Buyers Guide (for people on a budget)
A Video-Outsourcing Mini-Course
And 9 Ways to Make Videos without being on camera!
COOL HACK: Notice that these three bonuses above don’t just ADD VALUE to my oer,
they simultaneously address BIG OBJECTIONS that people have about doing video (cost,
time, and fear of being on camera) What can you bundle? What bonuses can you provide
that will ADD VALUE and dismantle objections? THIS will help make your oer irresistible!

Risk Reversal
RISK REVERSAL
Chances are you’re no stranger to the GUARANTEE.
Everyone has them, am I right? It probably doesn’t even “phase” you
any more. Maybe it blends in like “Banner Blindness” on a website.
Well... guarantees are there to serve one VERY SPECIFIC PURPOSE:
Eliminating Risk. If you’ve done everything else right, then the biggest
factor holding your prospect back is: the fear of risk.
“What if this doesn’t work?”
“What if its not what I expected?”
“What if I don’t have what it takes?”
“What if this is just a scam?”
If this is NOT addressed, they will NOT buy. Period.

Module 3.8
Risk Reversal
HERE ARE SOME OPTIONS:
THE ____________, 60 & ____________ DAY GUARANTEES.
These are the standard. And by the way... longer actually means
LOWER refund rate for MOST people.
365 DAY GUARANTEE.
Can you go craaaaazy long? That can give people a LOT of faith that
they don’t have to RUSH it!
THE __________________ GUARANTEE.
If the first two had a baby, it would be the conditional guarantee. The
conditional guarantee states that the customer can only get a refund if
they can show proof of work... whether it’s finishing the program,
attending the calls or doing the homework.
THE ____________________ GUARANTEED GUARANTEE.
You also have the choice of creating a RESULTS-GUARANTEED
guarantee. An example of this could be:
“Get Your First Client in 30 Days or This Program is FREE! We are so
confident that this program will work for you, that if you actually do the

Risk Reversal
work and take action, if you don’t attract at least one client in 30 days,
we’ll give you your money back and let you keep the program.
THE _____________________ BACK GUARANTEE.
And if you want to get EXTRA “radical” with your guarantees, you can
start to oer to PAY people if they aren’t happy. Whaaaaat?! Crazy,
right?! Well, we’ve done this before and it works extraordinarily well.
The concept is simple. There’s a guarantee that if the course isn’t what
they wanted, we’ll give them their money back. The second guarantee:
if they do the work and DON’T get any results, we’ll pay them $XXX
amount (usually the cost of the course). In this case, they would get
their initial $1,000 back PLUS $1,000 out of our pocket.
NOTE: Obviously there is a process in place to check guidelines (like showing proof of work,
etc.) so people don’t just try and rip you o. But when we did this, not a SINGLE person
actually asked for double their money back.

Scarcity & Urgency
SCARCITY & URGENCY
CREATE URGENCY WITH TIME-BASED__________________________
Whenever you close your doors, close enrollment or oer a deadline,
you create urgency.
“Make your decision before midnight tonight!”
CREATING __________________ WITH SCARCITY
Scarcity refers to a set number of spots. If you have 10 spots or 20
spots now, people have to ACT FAST if they want to get a spot! That

THE STORY
In my experience, your audience will always being asking WHY. They
want to know WHY you are doing something. WHY is there a sale? A
Webinar? A Discount? A deadline? A Bonus? Why? Why? Why?
And I can promise you this: if you don’t tell them WHY: they’ll answer
their own question, and it’s rarely a good answer.
So, control the story, craft a WHY behind your oer.

Testing Your Homerun Offer
TESTING YOUR HOMERUN OFFER
In 11 years of doing this whole online thing, the most common thing
I’ve seen: the first offer is usually a flop. It’s the second or third that
hits it. Why? Because through the act of making the offer and
launching, you actually begin to figure out what your audience
REALLY wants. You get more clarity on their problems and struggles
and you craft the better offer!
But even if this is your first offer, we can still TEST the waters, and
that’s what I want to leave you with right now, a simple, SIMPLE way
we can begin to test to see if this is the right offer to move forward
on! And it starts with a... Shot Across the Bow!
The shot across the bow is as SIMPLE as going to your audience (FB Live,
Email, etc.) and letting you know about this idea you have, and then giving
a call to action to express interest. Here is a stupid simple script I just
made up for ya... Notice it practically includes all the offer ingredients:
“Hey, so I’ve been doing a lot of cool things on YouTube lately, and it’s
really helped my business (story!), and if you’re looking to find a more
effective strategy to sell more of your products on a consistent basis
(transformation), this might be for you. I’m thinking of putting
together a PILOT PROGRAM (Beta Offer) to teach a small handful
(scarcity) of people how to increase their traffic, leads and sales using
YouTube (vehicle), if you’re interested, send me a PM (or reply to this
email) to discuss this further.
103
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
Module 3.12
Testing Your Homerun Offer
That was a rough, simple example.
But the point is, you can use this to measure interest. It will give you
a FEEL of what the market wants, without putting you on the hook for
anything. So... what’s to lose?
Notice the Call to Action. Notice there was a CTA. Tell people WHAT
to do, HOW to do it, and WHY to do it.
Don’t ask. Dont beg. Don’t assume. Tell them exactly what to do, or
don’t expect sales. Period.
And lastly, two more things I want to mention... The Waitlist and The Beta.
We have a process for this in Business By Design, but the next step
would be to create a “Waitlist Page”a page where people could
opt-in to show their interest and be the first notified when this
program is made available”. This is a powerful strategy because
people are literally raising their hand and giving you the permission,
“yes please sell to me.”
And The Beta (or Monetize Before You Make it) is an entire process we
have (also in BBD) that walks you through launching your product
(course, membership, coaching, etc.) FIRST before creating any content.
If you have the interest from your “Bow Shot,” if people are hopping on
your waitlist page, the next step would be to Launch that Beta!
104
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
Module 3.12
Testing Your Homerun Offer
And the success of your Beta Launch, will be determined by two things:
1. How effectively you communicated the value of your
IRRESISTIBLE OFFER
2. and how many people saw it?
Put a BETTER offer in front of MORE of the right people, and your
business grows. Period.
So... what are you waiting for?! Get out there and TRANSFORM some lives!

MYERS BRIGGS AND ROLES
Speaking from my own personal experience, the Myers-Briggs Type
Indicator has been an eective tool in helping me place the right
people in the right roles in my company. After I began to see success
with it, I started helping my Inner Circle Mastermind Clients do the
same, and they too saw great results. This PDF is designed to be a
simple “cheat sheet” to now help you!
But I must be clear on a few things first:
First, nothing is 100% fool-proof and absolute. This is simply a guide
to help. There are always exceptions, and no decisions should ever be
made solely on one’s Myers-Briggs type alone, ESPECIALLY since I am
NOT taking into consideration YOUR personality type. This is really
about how all the types work together and compliment each other.
Second, there are no “better than” personality types. Each personality
type simply oers a clue or indication as to where that unique
individual's potential lies.

Third, and this one is a biggie, most people don’t know their MBTI. And if
they take an online test, it is highly flawed. The only sure-way to get an
accurate test result is a self-assessment. Episode #20 of my podcast is an
entire episode on how to self-assess and discover your type, and it can
be shared here: http://www.mindyourbusinesspodcast.com/podcast/20
Ok, with all that being said, let’s take a look at some of the more
popular positions needed within your business and the possible
personality types that would fit those roles!
CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE
Primary: “F”
Secondary: “J”
Customer Support is tough. People write in because they are upset.
They have an issue, and it needs to be resolved. A great customer
support rep must have PATIENCE and COMPASSION. They must be
able to put aside their own concerns for the concerns of others. It’s
for this reason, that the #1 “letter I look for when hiring for a
customer support rep is an “F”.
The “F stands for FEELING. If someone has an “Fin their type, they
tend to be more “heart-centered, compassionate and empathetic.
This is exactly what you want in your customer support department.
The second letter I would look at is the “J. A JUDGER simply tends
to be more structured, organized and timely. I don’t want emails
going days without being answered. I don’t want conversations that
get forgotten about or lost. And a good J” is usually on top of this.
Suggested types: ISFJ, ESFJ
145
Module 5.5
Hiring a VA
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
COMMUNITY MANAGER
Primary: “E”
Secondary: “F”
I look at a community manager as someone very similar to a
customer support rep. They need to have compassion and empathy
for people. In most cases, a “Community Manager is someone hired
to help manage your forum or Facebook Group... and chances are
this is a PAID or MEMBERS Group. I look at a great Community
Manager as a cheerleader.
They need to be able to support the members, encourage them, be
positive and connect members together.
For this reason, Ive chosen EXTROVERT (outgoing, people-person) and
FEELING (compassionate, empathetic) as my main two letters to look at.
There’s really a myriad of places you could go from here. Someone
like an ENFP is going to be great at “getting the party started” and
connecting people together! They will be high-energy and bubbly
(most likely). But the “N” tends to get a bit bored with doing the
same thing over and over. So, it is something to be wary of.
A J” might just be a bit more structured in their approach... a bit
more consistent in their delivery, but perhaps not as spontaneous
and creative in what they do. It really just depend on what you
REALLY want in a Community Manager.
Suggested Types: ESFJ, ESFP, ENFP, ENFJ
146
Module 5.5

WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
THE INTEGRATOR OR PROJECT MANAGER
Primary: “J”
Secondary: “T”
The person DRIVING a project forward needs to be a natural-born
leader. They need to be proactive, take initiative and eective in
their communication. They need to be deadline-driven.
This is your stereotypical JUDGER. Structured and organized. They
are more concerned with completing and finishing than starting. So,
I’m going to put my foot down hard on this one and say your PM
must be a “J. ...that is, if you like getting stu done on time.
I chose the THINKER next, because decisions need to be made
swiftly, and unbiasedly. I want my Project Manager to be a little
tough. They need to be able to communicate eectively and demand
results from others when things aren’t getting done. I believe a “T”
has the ability to do that.
So, I do have a “dream type” for the PM or Integrator, and that is the
ENTJ. Our Integrator is an ENTJ. She takes action fast, she connects
dots, can see the big picture, and she leads extremely well.
But you aren’t limited to the ENTJ!
Here are a few other Suggested Types: ENTJ, INTJ, ESTJ, ISTJ
147
Module 5.5
Hiring a VA
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER
Describing a social media manager can be tough. It depends on so many
factors, so I would begin by getting clear on what exactly YOU are
looking for in this position. For starters, because this is a MANAGER, I like
to go towards a JUDGER so I can get that structure and organization.
If this is someone who is simply managing others, we may want to go
with a THINKER. However, if your social media manager will also be
creating and designing your campaigns and your content, you may
want to look into a FEELER. Because the “F is a bit more in tune with
the thoughts and feelings of others, they tend to have great insight
into what others will like. They tend to be natural photographers and
writers... which might just be what you need in this role.
Our Social Media Manager is an INFJ. And she is perfect for the job.
Her “N” allows her to see the big picture vision, while her “F oers
that creativity and quality of work. And her J” focuses her on
getting the job done and getting results.
Suggested Types: INFJ, ISFJ
148
Module 5.5
Hiring a VA
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
A PERSONAL ASSISTANT:
Easy: ISTJ
You can do your own Google Search for ISTJ, they are extremely
hard working, loyal, self-sucient, and no-nonsense. And if you’re
looking for someone to take stu o your plate and protect your
time and energy, having an ISTJ by my side has been a lifesaver.
SALES REPRESENTATIVE:
Sales are skill. And results should speak for themselves. However...
with that being said, I do find it far easier for EXTROVERTS to master
in-person or phone sales, because they tend to be quick-start,
action-takers that aren’t afraid or timid of others. So, if you are hiring
someone with sales experience, let their results speak for themselves.
If you are looking to groom and train a sales rep, you may want to
start with your outgoing extroverts.
ANY TECH-RELATED POSITION:
This is sort of a gimme: but any tech-related position such as a
programmer, is going to be a “T” 99.99% of the time. Most of the
people who say, “I’m not a techie” are FEELERS.
This is important to know because you may find yourself in a
position where you are asking a FEELER to do some slightly
149
Module 5.5
Hiring a VA
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
technical stu such as run your CRM or manage your website
content. If that’s the case, you may want to switch that to someone
else who would be more comfortable with those tasks.
ANY COPY OR CREATIVE TYPE PERSON:
I tend to think I’m rather creative. But... I’m a “T.And aJ. So, I’m
weird. Because most creatives I see are “FEELER” and
“PERCEIVER” ...the exact opposite of me. So, again, there are always
exceptions, but I tend to see my “F’s” and my “P’s” as the more
creative types.
VIDEOGRAPHER:
Considering I have an extensive background in video production, this
can be quite an interesting one. It all comes down to WHAT exactly you
are looking for. And rarely do I find can you get the whole package.
One of my close friends who is an amazing videographer and editor
is an ESTJ. That “S” and “T” gives him incredible attention to detail
and a vast knowledge of the industry. But, he’s also a bit of a
traditionalist... which means he won’t be bringing as much creativity
and unique ideas to the table.
My videographer is an INTJ like me. And I also feel like he is a rare
breed. He is a bit more creative and (my favorite part) he is FAST.
150
Module 5.5
Hiring a VA
WWW.BUSINESSBYDESIGN.NET | COPYRIGHT © 2020 LEVEL FIVE PUBLISHING
Extremely ecient. There is something about INTJ’s obsessing about
being more ecient!
So, a “Pand an “F will probably get you someone more talented
and creative. But, deadlines and due dates will appear far less relevant.
A “T” and a J” will most likely get you what you need on time and
ready to go.
But again, even these assessments are not even fair, because it
doesn’t really take in to consideration the videographers core focus
or strength: most “videographers” tend to focus and lean into a
specialization of one area such as filming, editing, audio or lighting.
I’ve seen great videographers that can’t edit. And crappy cameramen
that can make movie magic in the editing room.
This all comes down to what you want, what’s important to you, and
being able to TEST DRIVE your videographer before you make any
big, final decisions.
