Doers work, make, fix and create in different ways. They roll up their sleeves and get the job done. Doers give us houses, electricity, cars, food and so many of the things that enrich our lives.
Doing isn't just restricted to the traditional trades though. There are doers in every industry. Without hairdressers, patisserie chefs, personal trainers, or jewellery makers, the world would be a very different place.
As a doer you experience the world in a different way. You like working outdoors, or if you're inside you're probably in the kitchen cooking up a storm. You need an outlet for your idle fingers, and as a doer the world is your workshop. Now get fixing, making, growing, and building stuff.
