The conversation had stared about shoes and the fact that some of us need more\u00a0support on our feet than others. I personally, cannot stand a shoe with too much structure. Simple ballet flats with less support is more comfortable for me than that with lots of support. My friend then mentioned that she had gotten a fashion consultation for what clothes work best for her. She said it made her shopping so much easier because she simply avoided the things she knew didn&#8217;t work for her and sought out the clothes\u00a0that did.<\/p>\n<p>I think in both career and business, it&#8217;s best to take some time to get to know yourself better and to figure out what solutions work best accordingly. There&#8217;s no sense\u00a0in trying to force something to work when it just isn&#8217;t ideal for you. Working like this is working in resistance to who you are, rather than working to your strengths.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, I learned of a typing system called Wealth Dynamics. It&#8217;s an archetypal system to figure out\u00a0what methods of wealth generating is suitable based on your personality. I discovered that I am the Creator\u00a0type, and that part of my challenge is learning to delegate tasks to others so that I can do more of the actual creative work. This made me realize how much I need to enlist the help of others to promote and sell my work. I&#8217;m currently in the process\u00a0of creating systems in place to help me with this. But one aspect had bee missing until now: People who will help me generate buzz. This is why I have created an affiliate program for selling my work. Affiliate members will\u00a0receive 20% commission on sales for helping me to reach customers. Interestingly, in the Wealth Dynamics profiles, the people whom I think are likely to do well with referral\u00a0sales are the Supporter\u00a0and Stars. Supporters\u00a0love to connect with people and they are great at netowrking. And the Star is great at being an influence on others.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to find out more about Wealth Dynamics, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wealthdynamics.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. I recommend\u00a0finding out what type you are and working with it. Are you good at connecting with people, list building and generating web traffic? Maybe you&#8217;d like to join my affiliate program. I offer a great commission rate compared to other affiliate programs, and all you have to do is\u00a0help me get the word out there about my work.
