  • The questions each type asks:
    • Playful = WHO? Focus on people
    • Powerful = WHAT / WHEN? Focus on results
    • Precise = HOW? They give thought to this
    • Peaceful = WHY?
  • Powerfuls (externally strong) need to remember to give the WHY or peaceful will resist (they're internally strong).
  • How to align to your core preferences and why that gives you more energy and congruence.
  • You can pick a personality from the time your baby is in the cot:
    • Playful at smiling, cheeky, peeling the wall paper off because they're curious
    • Powerful are shaking the cot with attitude of 'get me out'
    • Precise - assessing, and looking intense
    • Peaceful - lie there with wet nappy, hungry as anything and won't demand.
  • Culture has an impact on which personality you adopt
    Eg New Zealand is peaceful (won't sweat the small stuff)
    South Africans are powerful and precise (der to the point!)
  • Life Changing Question:
    • There are two hungers In life - the small hunger (ego, greed, power and control) and the big hunger (to have a meaningful life, and meet with opportunity and connectedness).
    • What is your big hunger?
    • What is the thing that is going to give you meaning in life and allow you to collide with opportunities?
    • What is your pain area? 
  • So often you find meaning out of your pain
    Allie found this tool at a time when she was questioning if she wanted to be in the marriage or out of the marriage!
  • Life is more fulfilling when you can be generous to your core. Help and impact others to 'do life well'
  • Habits and rituals that creates success:
    • rise early every day
    • Having 'an opposite' in your business - so you can draw from another's strengths.
