How to build awesome personality for network marketing business

Before building that awesome personality we have to know two questions:

• What is Personality?
• Why does it matter?

According to the American Psychological Association, 

Personality refers to individual differences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.

We can think of personality in two parts. One is "personality from inside" and the other one is "personality from outside".

Personality from the inside concerns your view of you, it concerns the person you think you are—it concerns your values, your hopes, your goals, your dreams, your aspirations, your fears, and the things you think you need to do to realize your goals and avoid your fears.

Personality from inside refers to a person's identity.

Personality from outside concerns our view of you, the person we think you are. We refer to this as your reputation.
