Are you one of those who often ask, what business is right for me? Or... are you one of those who think that business is only suitable for people with certain personality types? Believe it or not, business can be done by anyone, with any personality type. Failure in business is often associated with personality type, but it could be that the person doesn't have "no talent" for business, instead he just has to choose the type of business that suits his personality.
Entrepreneurs, choosing the right type of business is no different from choosing a career or even a life partner. We have to really know our own character first before we can determine what is right for us. But once again, that doesn't mean that business only belongs to people with a certain personality type.
There are lots of resources out there to help you choose a career that suits your character and personality, but unfortunately, there is very little guidance for aspiring entrepreneurs who want to choose a type of business that suits their personality.
"But rest assured, there are many types of business. Among them, there is definitely one that suits you."
But actually, it is possible if you use various references such as "a career that suits my personality" or "what character is needed to build a business", or other keywords like that, then relate them to the type of business you want to start. But surely that's not enough to satisfy you, right?
That's why Qasir tries to formulate what types of personalities and types of business are suitable for loyal readers of Qasir's blog. Hopefully this is useful and can provide enlightenment.
Qasir classifies personality types and the type of business suitable for each personality into seven categories
1. Patient
The patient type has the advantage of being willing to provide sincere service. Therefore, they are very suitable to open a business related to services. Patient types are also usually painstaking in handling details. Those of you who feel you have a patient personality can try a workshop business, installation services, mail handling service bureau, pet care center, beauty/body care salon, and lodging business.
2. Quiet
If you are a person with a quiet personality type, you must have felt that business is not for someone like you. In fact, you just have to really choose the right business. Why is that? Pay attention to this, quiet people generally don't really like interacting with other people, let alone making small talk. So a business model that involves many people is not suitable for you. You can choose a type of business that has minimal direct interaction, especially in marketing matters, otherwise you really don't mind discussing technical matters of your work with clients. If you are this type, you should choose a type of business that requires higher skills or is less common so clients won't care too much about your communication skills. The Quiet One is very suitable for handling matters such as assembling computer components, opening a modification workshop, web design services, graphic design, or a video editing service business. For marketing matters, you should hire professionals or use advertising via the internet.
3. Sociable
Are you someone who is quite popular among friends and extended family, easy to build friendships and networks, and good at making other people comfortable? Do you often realize that your suggestions are easily accepted and that you easily influence people? If the answer is mostly "yes", don't let this go to waste! This is potential that you can turn into a business area. Providing knowledge about expertise and skills can satisfy you, therefore a consultative business is very suitable for your open nature, likes socializing, meeting new people, is good at talking and likes to influence other people. You can start by opening a course or training business. Alternatively, you can open a fitness studio, tutoring service, financial consulting services, business consultant, educational consultant, event organizer, or you can even become a content creator/influencer.
4. Romantic
Some people may not realize that they are a romantic personality type. In fact, if you can realize this, you can take business land that cannot be controlled by other people who do not have personality capital like you. To find out whether you are a person with a romantic personality, do you like neatness and beauty more than the people around you? Are you always the one your family asks to help you wrap gifts or put up decorations? If yes, be sure that you are a person with a romantic personality type. People with the romantic type tend to be able to change small and trivial things into more beautiful things. So, romantic types are suited to businesses related to beauty. Some businesses that you can try include wedding planning services, businesses selling flower bouquets, make up artist services, painting, making home decorations and decorations, as well as parcel and delivery decoration services. The fun thing is, a business like this doesn't require too much capital in the form of money, but it definitely requires a touch of its own beauty that is usually only possessed by people with romantic personalities, like you.
5. Executor
The typical executor works fast and is not afraid of deadlines. However, usually people with this personality type only like doing things related to production. The satisfaction is how to produce a product that is useful for other people. Meanwhile, lobbying and promotion matters are not his expertise. Executors prefer to work alone so that they can express their ideas completely without intervention. Businesses that are suitable for the executor are businesses in the retail, fashion, garment, processed agricultural products, packaged food businesses, catering, various handicrafts, various home industries, and printing.
6. Critical
Do you often feel like there is something wrong with your surroundings? Do you often think about the problems that occur around you and the solutions? Do you often feel dissatisfied with your situation? Some people may say you are a complainer, but actually this is because your soul is critical. Critical people are usually also thinkers. Many people think that thinkers are usually quiet, but actually they are not (always). Thinkers actually need other people to express their thoughts, and almost all types of thinkers like to question things and be skeptical. If you feel like you are a person with a critical personality, you are very suitable for creating a complex business that requires strong analytical skills. One business that could be suitable for thinking type people is to become a business consultant, accounting services business, tax consultant, political advisor, law firm and notary.
7. Free
Finally, there are people with a free personality type. People with free personalities are usually those who have high creative power. They tend not to like being regulated, especially with certain standards and standards. Creative and free-spirited people are actually thinkers, but thinkers who use their right brain more. The ideas that emerge from people with free personalities are often random and haphazard. He also has unique habits that most people rarely have. Try checking yourself, are you the free type? If so, there are several businesses that are suitable to try, such as creating works of art such as murals, fashion modification, unique culinary businesses, extreme snack businesses, and fashion-related businesses. People with a free personality type are also very suitable for building startups because of their unique ideas.
Personality, however, is only one factor that determines your success in business. However, what is no less important than that is, if you have decided to enter the business of your choice, you must not stop honing your skills and other abilities that will support you in running your business, maintaining it and developing it. You must also strengthen your mental strength in overcoming challenges and obstacles when running a business. You also shouldn't forget to always monitor and record your business. Just take advantage of technology for this matter. For sales matters, for example, you can use POS Qasir which is available for free. Apart from being a digital cashier tool that is easy for employees to operate, Qasir also has monitoring facilities via Qasir Web App which can provide real time reports and visibility of your business.
