E-Type: Organizer/Administrator

— -- Details! Details! Details!

While the other E-Types are busily designing, building, buying, or selling, who's taking care of the nitty-gritty aspects of business? Someone has to make sure all the details get attended to: the bills get paid, the invoices go out, and stuff shows up where it's supposed to when it's supposed to.

Most people hate dealing with these kinds of details, but not the Organizer/Administrator E-Types. This is where they shine. Few things give them more satisfaction than seeing the accounts balance or the goods shipped on time and on budget. They meet deadlines; they stay on task; they know where the files are filed. Who couldn't use someone like this in their own business—or in their own life?

The world seems to be growing continually more complex—with more forms to file and rules to follow—and most of us don't have the time or patience to deal with these. We'd much rather hire someone to do it for us, meaning there are lots of self-employment opportunities for this E-Type.

Generally, these business opportunities for Organizer/Administrator E-Types fall into the "service" category. But there is a wide range of the kind of services you can provide if this E-Type fits you. You can work with people—organizing their schedules, closets, weddings, etc. Or you can work with businesses—taking care of their accounts, their database or mailing list, their order fulfillment. You can easily work with numbers—bookkeeping is one of the growing areas for

this E-Type. Or you can work with details and dates—making certain everything's completely arranged for a party or all the brochures get mailed in time for the Spring sale.

Another positive aspect of the business opportunities available for this E-Type is that many of them can be based from home. You may only have to go to your client's home or place of business occasionally, if at all. You may also have relatively flexible hours—perhaps working late at night (doing bookkeeping, for instance). So if you're an Organizer/Administrator E-Type and you want to own your own business but still stay close to home, you'll find lots of opportunities appropriate for you.
