Are you a Go Getting or a stay and wait kind of person?

I've been knocked down so many times in my lifetime that it's hard for me to "go get" much these days, although I'm still not a stay and wait kind of person. I'm almost always the first person to get moving on a specific idea but I don't usually stick around to see it finished, mostly because I get bored quickly. My mind doesn't want to stay on the same idea too long because new ideas are always popping in there. Maybe I'm a better teacher than anything else. I can teach others how to get going and stay going all the way to the end of something but I'm already thinking about the next thing while I'm doing that.

I am definitely a go-getter! I think that letting oppurtunities pass you by is just going to cause a lot of regret! I've let that happen before and I never want to do it again. I'd rather try and fail then always wonder what could have been, you know? You should definitely get your friend to open her own party planning business. What if it takes off? The questions are endless and she'll never know until she tries!

hi 34momma I think I am a bit of both. I love to write but got so discouraged at all the rejections I lost incentive yet I think I am pretty good at it.So sometimes I start up and write my heart' out but I do not any longer try to send them out. It is really so hard to be rejected. It seems like it takes I do not know what for an unpublished author to get anyone's attention. I have seriously thought of writing non fiction and see what happens.

As far as having my actual own business, I probably wouldn't do that, but for the most part I would consider myself a go getter. If I want something, I figure out how to get it. Sometimes I enlist help of other people, or I help them if they are working on the same thing I am, but other times people cause me trouble and roadblock me when I try to accomplish my goal, which usually makes me even more stubborn and determined to succeed. I have learned to use the disapproval of others or the apathy of others to my advantage I'm not scared of failure, I just know I would not want to deal with running a business. I technically do sort of run a business because I do regular childcare on an as-needed basis for friends who work on call, but it's much easier for me to just do it and be paid each day or week or trade childcare than it would be to get licensed and have to pay employees and have to have government nosing around and deal with taxes and whatnot. I'd even help party plan or do other stuff and if someone wanted to pay me, cool beans, but I wouldn't want to make it into something that wasn't beneficial to me. I don't sit around and wait at all, unless that is part of my game plan. I'm very good at annoying other people by either going for what I want immediately... or waiting till it's the best time for me. I trust myself and my intuition and it has rarely led me wrong or caused any regrets.

I like to go after what i want in life. I may not always succeed, but I have to try . It isn;t failure if you at least make the attempt. i don't like to sit and wait for something to happen. usually, it will never happen that way.

I am definitely not a go getter. I know I should be one because nothing would ever happen to someone who wouldn't take a risk, even once. I have been waiting for years but the things do come my way though it may have been a little too late.

I have to say...that I'm like your friend...the 'waiting' kind. A friend of my mine recently spoke about this same aspect of mine and called me a ' frog on the log'. He said forgetting taking risks...I never went out and got what I wanted. That is so true. I feel like I am a jack of all trades...master of none. Many people have told me I am good at what I do and ask me for help and I go ahead and 'help' them. But I fear having to do something on my own and this indecision leaves me doing nothing!! But this friend who called me a frog...also said it has something to do with the time I was born. I'm not sure I want to believe that...but that's what he said.

I am defiantly a Wait and See kind of person. I am like that because people scare me. I am incredibly nervous around people that I would rather stand back and be a wallflower. But I have no problem helping out the Go Getter. I would rather be the person that helps out rather than being the main person.

I am a go-getter,no doubt about it. In fact, sometimes I get to the point of being a control freak. I want to go and pursue what I want to do, no matter what. Risks are part of every endeavor we make, so just take them and see how far your talent and strengths would take you. I never just wait for things to happen. I go ahead and make things happen.

Most of the time i am go-getter.... but at times wait a little and think and proceed

It depends on how bad I want the thing is. I know a lot of people will think that this is or that is better for us, but they never knew what we exactly want for our life. So I don't really listen to whatever people told me what I should be, as if they knew myself better than I do. When I have something that I really want then of course I will go and get it, I will make an effort to make it happen and most of the time it makes me proud of myself but actually some people will even think that it is bad for me, but as I said, I know myself better. I don't go for anything just to try, I go for it when I really want it but also must come with a complete plan on how to do it and how to make it happen.

being a go getter is a lot better, because it indicates that you have confidence in your self.and high self esteem.and you are not afraid to try things out even if you fail at first, of course you will be better the next time you do it.you can tell your friend to really try it, encourage her and boost her self esteem. and maybe someday when she becomes successful, you know in yourself that you did a good thing for her.

I feel mostly with my choices I am the person who will wait around & think about my decision several times. I hate it when regrets follows telling me how compulsive I was to jump into a decision so easily. I try to take my time thinking, weighing my options. I sometimes have the feeling of being too scared to to pursue when I am not certain with what would be the outcome.
