On this episode of The Wednesday Call podcast, Andy Albright talks to you about how you can comprehend the two types of people: Doers and Believers.
Doer Quote:"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything." --John Wooden
Moral: "I don't want to be your superman (a super doer), I just wanna be your man (a doer) and I'll be super." --Train
Believer Quote: "You don't become what you want, you become what you believe." -- Oprah Winfrey
Moral: "Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, telling myself it's not as hard as it seems." --Led Zeppelin
Understanding What Makes a Doer Tick
- Love: Cognitive (Reciprocity) and Investment (Loyalty).
- Truth: Belief in the resolute urgency of now.
- Work: Find meaning (obligation/duty) in what you deliver to society and you will never be without.
- Confidence: Comes from wanting to compare yourself to others (sharpens the competitive edge).
- Motivation: Keep your feet on the ground and what should be will be earned.
Understanding What Makes a Believer Tick
- Love: Emotional (Compassion) and Intentional (Passion).
- Truth: Belief in the absolute hope of tomorrow.
- Work: Find purpose (service/care) in why you contribute to society and you will never work a day.
- Confidence: Comes from not having to compare yourself to others (enhances self-worth).
- Motivation: Keep reaching for the stars and what could be is revealed.
Other Aspects of a Doer
- Focused Perspective: Can result in a tunnel vision approach (in the end, we only regret the chances we didn't see while being busy).
- Survivor Mentality: Looking for something to do leads to burying mistakes of the present in order to move on to the next future conquest.
Action-Driven Motto: "Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
Moral: Get busy and stay busy.
Other Aspects of a Believer
Broad Perspective: Can lead to distraction (last person on their tiptoes misses the parade while waiting for permission).
- Searcher Mentality: Waiting for something to be leads to blaming past actions in order to postpone an opportunity in the present.
- Motive-Driven Motto: "You are more than the worst thing you have ever done."
Moral: Let your mess be your message not your excuse.
Doers vs. Believers
Traditionalists:
1926-1945 (What people with a servant mentality)
1946-1964 (When people with a realist mentality)
Believers
Xers: 1965-1982 (How people with a pragmatist mentality)
Y’s: 1983-2002 (Why people with an idealist mentality)
Two Kinds of Doers:
- Thinkers (Think their way into a Do) Beavers (Don't waste effort doing: get it right the first time)
- Winners (Do their way into a Win) Lions (Don't waste time thinking: clean up the mess later)
Two Kinds of Believers:
- Feelers (Believe their way into a Feel) Golden Retrievers (Don't get caught waiting on a promise: accept it into existence).
- Talkers (Talk their way into a Believe) Otters (Don't get caught waiting on a sign: speak it into existence).
Discussion Question:
- Should I recruit a Doer vs. a Believer?
The Answer Lies Between Two Variables:
- Closing the Gap (it is faster to go from Doer to Believer).
2. Sustainability (the doing has more endurance if it starts with a strong belief).
