Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

I first came to Jesus as a child at church camp. As an adult I was baptized and came back to Jesus

GLC – Amherst Ohio, I helped out with a few events and I built portable bins for donations of clothing and food. I also framed out a pallet wall for the church and did some other construction related things for them. I also donated the cost and performed the inspection for the new building before it was purchased.

Someone took me under their wing and helped train me within a network marketing company. He became like a second father to me and also gave me the perspective of a business owner.

Someone believed in me enough to loan me the money to put together a LLC (without me asking him) and start my own company. It wasn’t much but he believed in me.

Someone felt I was such an integral part of BNI that when I recently changed careers they paid for my membership because they didn’t want me to leave the group.

We have lost everything twice now, filed bankruptcy.

At different times in my life I’ve found myself struggling financially and had to seek help. I understand how it feels and how its tough to get help when you are trying to succeed in life when the system seems designed to help those that want to give up and just rely on government

We have had different medical challenges with each of our children. We know how heart wrenching it is when you can’t do anything to help your child get better. You have to believe God will take care of them.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. Launch the training program that I am a facilitator for that would help people launch a career or business that changes their life and finances allowing them to give more than they ever dreamed possible.

4. build a church

5. Build a shelter that would keep homeless people safe
