WHAT'S YOUR MONEY STYLE?
It's Important to Find Your Natural "Money Style"...and Work With It.
By Jeanna Gabellini
We all have a different style when it comes to our relationship with money. I'm not talking about your fears or stories about money. Your fears are a whole different box of worms. When I refer to style, I mean how you would relate to money if you had never been influenced by another person's style or fears.
"Dominant" types of people are really driven to make money and use it to please themselves. They like to buy nice cars. They go after money and success with intense passion. When they set a money goal, they know they'll get it. Once they get that money, they are reaching for more. They're generous with money but don't like people taking advantage of them. Competition is fun to them.
Dominant types think it's easy to make money and can't understand why everyone else doesn't think this way, too. They are willing to take risks and don't hesitate very long when making decisions about investments. When they desire a certain price on something, they will negotiate down. Watch out--they may not bend. Give them the bottom line price up front and you'll save a lot of time and frustration for them and yourself.
Influencing and "Promoter" types of people are excited to make and spend money. If the path to the money isn't fun, they'll take a right hand turn. When they're in the zone, they'll seem to magnetize money in very interesting ways...ways that other people would doubt. They don't think before they buy. They see something they want and they usually go for it, even if it breaks the bank. They make a plan, but many times they completely forget about it when a bright, shiny object in a store window catches their eye. Details, details, yuck! Have you ever heard the terms "shop-a-holic" and "impulsive?"
Steady and "Supporter" types of people like to be slow to their decisions. They will usually let their mate make investment decisions if they're a different style. They are very consistent with their practices and aren't thrilled with big risks...they'd rather be patient and watch their money grow over time. Their purchases are more on the practical side.
"Analytical" types are very calculated about what happens with their money. By the time they choose to do something, whether it's a purchase, creating a business or an investment, they have created a very well-thought-out plan. If the choice seemed like a risk before they did their research, it's now safe bet. They've checked out all the possible downfalls of the choice and have a back-up plan. Spontaneous with money? Not! If they're making a purchase, it will last them a long time.
Which style are you? None of these styles is better than another. Each of them does, however, have a shadow side. For instance, Analytical people might get in so much fear about losing money that they never make a move or go after a dream. A Promoter might spend every penny she has, with no money in savings. A Dominant person may use the money as a manipulative tool. A Support type may get stuck in a rut and fear change that might be beneficial.
It's important to know your natural style and work with it, not against it. It's also good to implement some traits from other styles, when you see that yours is hindering you. But always stick to your values, no matter what advice you get or read.
Remember that everyone has their own style and what works for you may not be tolerable for your mate or business partner. This is where blending styles becomes important. Stay compassionate to other's needs when communicating or taking action with money.
