Two Kinds of People In Business
Barbara Corcoran shares a brilliant perspective on building a successful business by recognizing two types of people: *Expanders* and *Containers*. Expanders push boundaries, take risks, and explore new opportunities, but they tend to spend money freely. Containers, on the other hand, focus on keeping things organized, maintaining control, and protecting your assets. By understanding who fits into which category and aligning their strengths with the right roles, you can create a powerful team that balances growth with stability—paving the way to success.

I found an interesting list by Barbara Corcoran. Barbara Corcoran’s credentials include straight D’s in high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was her next job that would make her one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the country when she took a $1,000 loan to start The Corcoran Group. She parlayed the loan into a $5 billion real estate business and sold it in 2001 for $66 million.
My hero!
According to Barbara Corcoran, there are really only two kinds of people:
EXPANDERS and CONTAINERS. Learning to separate them quickly into the right category will save you a lot of time. ‘Expanders’ like to push the envelope, take risks, make new friends, and test how far they can go! They also like to spend your money. ‘Containers’ like to keep things in order and stay on top of the details. They keep you from losing your money. If you match the right person to the right position that takes advantage of their natural talents you’ll build a powerful team of workers with all the strength needed to build a huge business.
Learn how to identify them and use each type to your advantage. Once you do this, you will be able to build your dream team.
