"'When can we start?' This a recurring question in your life. You are impatient for action...Once a decision is made, you cannot not act...You make a decision, you take action, you look at the result, and you learn." - pg 84 of Now, Discover Your Strengths (Buckingham & Clifton)

Does this sound like you...?

Good news, bad news...

I had one of my lifelong friends pegged as Activator before she even shared her profile with me. She is the queen of "get 'er done!" When I go to her kids' birthday parties I swear the thank you note is in my mailbox before I even get home from the party.

The good news: She gets all the junk out of the way ahead of time so she can have quality time with her kids. If she's going on vacation, the bags will be packed a week ahead and the night before she will have the cooler full of snacks and food so her trip isn't spent in the kitchen.

The bad news: she says "I can get stressed out when things aren't done and I can get frustrated with the kids if I can't get things taken care of." - this is something many of us struggle with, but I imagine it is especially hard for Activator moms.

How do you channel your Activator theme?
