Haha in all seriousness, though, great video. Honestly, in my opinion, the best entry-level careers for an ENFP are *by far* Entrepreneurship or Consulting (at a company), although there are probably a few other careers that work as well. Here's why: Entrepreneurship: Ok, I'm going to be my normal lazy ENFP self and not really elaborate on this one because I feel like it should be obvious to most people. if not, let me know and I'll elaborate on it. Consulting: The best part about consulting is that even though your skill set is sometimes the same across every problem, every problem you address will be completely different and will require you to think in ways you haven't thought before. Even if you are an SAP consultant, for example, and only deal with that technology, every client will have a completely new requirement and will require you to configure the technology in a new way. Especially if you're in a much broader role like Strategy consulting, you will have to be super creative in your problem solving and it requires a lot of social and interpersonal connection. The nice thing about working as a consultant at a big company is that once you gain the in-demand skills and credentials (optional) after working for a few years, you can go off on your own and start your own company and transition from a consulting job into entrepreneurship and maybe even work your way into developing products if you're good. Or, if you decide against entrepreneurship (maybe you like the stability of a job or you can't handle the risk/stress of entrepreneurship), you can transition into a really high paying and kick-ass management position (maybe after an MBA (optional)) and work your way to a higher position in the company. Another reason: Both of them pay a lot if you're good at them. Just my two cents!

However, not many people I call friends because they don't think or feel like me.

This one really resonated with me Dan! "ENFPs are often changing directions and that really affects their focus and ability to achieve results." and "ENFP typically has a sense of urgency, a desire to make things happen quickly and if they don't meet that expectation, the ENFP gets disappointed, quits or changes direction ". My top takeaways, 1. realize my tendencies (impatient, overly optimistic for such a short timeframe, etc.) 2. Develop the longer range focus on time frames for achieving my goals 3. I'm attracted to novelty channel that proactively in sports or hobbies not my career or business.

ENFP here, I lost my INTJ mentor of 8 years when I childishly claimed that "I'm an adult and can make my own decisions!". I look back now and realize that I wasted 4 years of my life (from 18-22 years old) changing directions. I could have gotten my degree in that time, but instead I'm watching all my high school friends on Facebook accepting their Bachelor's degree's and going on their way to a master's. My perception of time was that I was standing on a ticking time bomb about to explode if I didn't catch up to them. As a result, I overloaded myself with college courses every semester only to fail them all at the end. Finally I know what I want to do, and I'm afraid its too late... Anyway, Thanks for sharing your process. I hope it continues to be a fulfilling life for you.

100% agree on needing to find the REALLY right thing

Spirituality is truly helping me build up discipline. I follow the Bhakti yoga tradition. Since implementing and adopting spiritual practices I am able to mediate for 2-2 1/2 hours a day, my attraction/desire to watch mundane videos on youtube *procrastination* is greatly diminished. I have gravitated to things that are naturally good for me like a vegetarian diet, drinking water, quitting caffeine etc without too much effort/willpower on my part, walking/exercise. fasting. etc.My character is more refined and I am a sharper thinker. I am better at discriminating what is good bad etc. (a lot of this is also due to my intuitive nature as well ).These qualities that serve to reflect a more disciplined me just happen to be side effects/by products of cultivating spiritual practices and Im not making too much effort on my part. This is a drastic improvement of the me from BEFORE. Maybe this info may help somebody out there! xx

Excellent video. Thank you!!!! I am feeling more hopeful now, and am going to follow your ideas.

Loved this video Dan, I am only just learning about what being an ENFP means to me and how it has influenced my life so far. My Dad describes me as flighty - my friends describe me as a free spirit. But over the past year I have 100% been my own victim. I have gone from one business idea to another, had a load of different temp jobs, tried different diets, signed up to a load of different programmes. Basically my ENFP subconscious has been out of control because I haven't focused that energy into something positive and I also have allowed myself to DABBLE with literally everything. The end result is I have just felt like a continuous failure and all that negative internal language has been beating me up. I actually love the ideas you presented today (along with all your videos - I am quickly becoming a huge fan lol). Thanks for another awesome video!

Hi Dan! i like the encouragement and "sitting on it" before committing to something. Thank you!

Recently I started to feel very bad about myself for always changing direction and always finding good excuses to justify my decisions. I was starting to feel as if there's something wrong with me and my family pointing these things out on a daily basis hasn't helped me at all...this video just made me realize that I'm not the only one doing these things and right now I feel a little better about myself and my life and I really wanna make some deep changes when it comes to my attitude towards goals. Thank you so much for this.

I‘m an ENFP and can definitely say that the „shiny object syndrome“ used to be very true for me. I jumped from one thing to the next, which shows a strength but also a weakness. The strength being that I have accumulated knowledge in a bunch of different areas (and it has made my life a lot easier) but the downside is, as you said, that we never finish anything. I also see the 4 Personality types of Gretchen Ruben playing a huge role in this: we ENFPs are Questioners with a rebel tendency. The upside: when we do find something we are absolutely passionate about, we are reckless hardworkers and determined to get to the very bottom of it and beyond, ESPECIALLY when it makes us FEEL compelled to act, or just makes us feel good. The downside: everything else we just toss away (me during high school) TIPS: - for the things you don‘t „feel“ like doing, use your bullshi‘‘ing power the other way around: find all the reasons as to why this IS IMPORTANT or beneficial to YOU. Kinda play devil‘s advocate in a way. - if you‘re a student, study somewhere different every time, a new coffee shop or library. - take out your creativity and imagination on an art that fits you, like drawing/singing/dancing or everything at once (like me haha) - switch up your style every now and then, hair color, nail color, hairstyle, whatever works. That‘s also great to add that novelty factor. I hope this was helpful 🙌🏼 LET‘S GET THAT BREAD

WOAH so true and so helpful!! This definitely resonates with me. I think getting super clear on the ultimate direction and writing it down in detail is a wise activity, especially so you have something to come back to when you're starting to go off in another direction!

Wow - I wish I'd heard this fantastic advice sooner, especially the attitude adjustment of going in with the expectation that success/results WILL be HARD to attain. I just realised how often I would try to talk myself in to doing things/getting things done by telling myself it can't be that hard, trying to perceive the long and hard work as manageable by telling myself it will be easy or quicker than I think, or subconsciously expecting myself to excel somehow first time around. I've been preparing myself to fail! Actually, thinking back, some of my best work has happened when I've submitted to the possibility of failing or under-performing, rather than having unrealistic expectations.

Great video. I am an ENFP. I've always had many interests, hobbies and passions, some of which I have done professionally until I realized it wasn't that interesting. Music has been my main career as a singer & teacher and I've stuck with it because there are so many different aspects of singing and piano teaching when it comes to technique, literature, vocal anatomy, languages, performance psychology, musical genes, etc. I'm never bored! My teaching, performing and KZread channel is so successful that I yearn for more time for my other interests and hobbies!

Happy for your content

Hello, as an ENFP I enjoyed this video. Specifically, the tip about fulfilling the need for variety with things outside of business/career. One unfortunate element I'd like to add to this discussion is the following. Sometimes even when success is achieved ENFP's can still be eager to change directions or switch to something new. I mention this because you spoke about ENFP's switching when things turn out to be harder than expected which is certainly true. However, it appears to also be prevalent when a certain degree of success is achieved as well. Thanks for sharing. I think further exploring this topic is worthwhile for ENFP's. Our personality type generally desire big things but ends up with sub-par results due to focus and persistence being primary characteristics for genuine success thus we upset those around us and ourselves.

I couldn't agree more and that is something I have planned to make more content on but didn't think of while making this video. Once we have something going great, we can still "get bored" (for lack of a better term), and want to change things up, rather than just riding out the gravy train! Have you had any experience with this, good or bad?

@stevengoland5734

7 жыл бұрын

Definitely had experience with this. Ultimately, it can be viewed as a positive or negative in my opinion. Negatives include jumping ship too often and getting nowhere so to speak. Positive in that we're not primary motivated by any one thing such as money as we like to continually be challenged (by ourselves not others :D) I say it leads to a more diverse and fulfilling life if controlled. Controlled via meditation or other techniques that calm what's commonly referred to as the "monkey mind". It's become apparent that others can easily motivate us but can't persuade us into not switching into the new shiny spoon haha. Just like you mentioned we can justify anything to ourselves and others. That being said I think ENFP are intelligent and if kept on focus can far surpass other personality types in any given area (not to sound conceited but it appears that our passion can rapidly accelerate the learning processes in any given area.)

The only thing that keeps me going is that I remind myself everytime when I curse myself for committing myself to a 6-year project is that it's important and I know that when I'll finish it I will enjoy my work very much. But now It's really hard to stay on this path. I feel that in these years maybe I miss out on opportunities. It's really a struggle even if I know this is a right path for me.

+Bettina K. While extra hard for an enfp, I think this is also just a human struggle. Learning to focus on longer term rewards at the cost of short term sacrifices or (perceived) missed opportunities. Congrats on staying on track!

I had the same problem when I was doing my PhD. My plan was to finish it in 3 to 3.5 years, but it took me nearly six years, but I did get there in the end, so can you too!

Doing my Masters, I can so relate.. 😅 Remember the purpose / end goal & hang in there.. ❤

Thanks for the thoughtful content Dan - I relate to everything you said in this video!! I feel like I'm constantly changing my mind and direction, and I have really struggled to choose a career to commit to. I have had well over 20 jobs (I'm 30) and have enrolled in and dropped out of several courses (but have completed 2!). I think a part of the problem is that long term committments are intimidating (because what if I change my mind), I want instant(ish) results and I think sometimes I like the IDEA of things more than actually doing them. I'm reaching a point where I feel really frustrated with being directionless and of (more or less) ending up in the same place I started (and feeling like I have to constantly justify my new ideas to my family). I'm not sure if I'm an ENFP but I certainly relate to all of the ENFP content I've seen on your channel. The approach you've suggested is something I'm actively working on right now. Fingers crossed for some positive changes and progress! 🤞

So true! All of it! I wish I could have heard this a long time ago. My restlessness has a way of undoing my goals.

I've been watching quite a few videos today after I decided last night that I must make a five-year plan. I'm constantly giggling because so much of what you say is a reflection of my habits. I really want to make some positive adjustments, so thank you so much!

In there isn't one. I listed two possible pathways and felt unsatisfied. I know what my long-term goal is and my plan didn't clearly reflect that. Instead, I've decided to set myself small tasks that I can accomplish one by one. It's less stressful and allows me the leeway to decide what the next best cause of action is, rather than following a list (I'm too easily prone to changing my mind to restrict myself like that). Your videos continue to be inspiring. Thank you

You last advise is something never thought of. Will try it for sure.

I've definitely had an issue with focus. Listening to the audio version of Essentialism really helped me to get perspective on the power of focus. So find myself making more realistic plans and steeling myself for the process from idea to actualisation.

This is so great! I'm so glad I found this video-I'm subscribing to your channel :) I have a difficult time taking advice from someone who doesn't have the same personality as me because they don't know my challenges or where I am coming from. I so appreciate your perspective. I have been struggling, for all the reasons you mentioned in the video..but I feel like I can now move forward to feel successful. Thank you!

And I like hearing “success stories” Often times I get so frustrated with my lack of follow through or constant need for change

I laughed out loud at the bit about BS-ing ourselves. Ahhh gee.

Wow!!!!! I just learned that I’m an ENFP, and I’m so very happy to have come across you and your videos. It feels good to know there are other people like me. Maybe I’m not crazy after all. I’ve only watched this video but I’m definitely going to watch more of your stuff. It feels great to know I’m not alone!!!! Thank you so much for doing this!!!!!

I've been hovering around, listening to videos similar to this while doing other things, and I really appreciate this advice. Spoke straight to me; I'm 19 and I've played 5+ instruments in my musical career thus far, but music school forces you into only one for 4 years. It's hard not wanting to jump around, or when I see someone who needs help I can't seem to say no. I think my maximum outlook on success has only reached about two years in any direction; I haven't put thought into the "endgame" kind of content. This video was eye-opening, I appreciate it. :)

this video really helped me since I just left architecture school. it was so stressful i got sick luckily my parents support the idea. so now i'm at genesis and 1 trillion ideas keep circling in my mind.

I needed to hear this. I've struggled with sticking with anything since leaving school, and I'm currently part-way through my 2nd attempt at a PhD. As a standard ENFP, I excelled during my first few months but I've hit a motivation slump recently - knowing the only goal I have to work towards (my thesis hand in) is still a couple of years away, it is easy to get sidetracked or come up with excuses for not focusing on the tasks I need to do. Because I find one aspect of my project more difficult, I end up not putting in the hours I really should, and spending more time on the stuff I find easier or just procrastinating. Then as soon as I get feedback and learn I have to correct stuff I've already done, I get bored and frustrated with it. I'm now going to start thinking of my hand-in date as a chance for me to hit those targets and accomplish the tasks I've started, rather than as a looming, scary thing to mentally back away from.

Thank you! Message what you said resonated with me. I had a lousy sense of time management. It takes me forever to get something finished. I don't hold myself accountable 4 things and I hate these Ali lose interest because the novelty wears off and the excitement doesn't last. I'm so glad I'm not alone. And it's very helpful that you gave examples how you change your strategy to completing a project. The problem I always have I'm changing my strategy is that I'm not able to see the end result and that's where I give up. There's more excitement and doing then there is in completing.

I am nodding my head throughout this entire video, well done! This definitely brought on insights!

I have to comment. Hello, my people! Went to a friends church last week and a guy said to me..have you done the myers briggs test..i think you're an ENFP..I was like what??he was like,you're extroverted..I said, I think I'm an introvert etc.. Anyhoo, I did the test and have been watching some videos and it is really really nice to know there are other people out there who are like me-hahaha I actually feel this is very of God..because for a while I've been stuggling with knowing who I am.. Also, I believe we can change who we are..and work on things we need to work on.. eg.become less turbulant and more assertive..but it's so nice to know..I feel I can breathe a bit and accept myself..becuase this is, who I am and who I've been created to be..... And I was LOLLLLing at people saying about are you watching this at a faster speed.. with it turned up to 1.5x oh man, truth.. Anyways, I'm gonna keep lookin into this..this is really, really helpful stuff and is setting my mind free.. Right I'll get back to the video now..

YES! This is GREAT! I LOVE & appreciate so well that you have unpacked the ENFP (me) AND share the issues, the awareness' and some potential strategies that can assist us in exercising positive new muscles to help us to be successful! Dang - amazingly right on! It's comforting. AND humbling. So: Focus. Long-term. Concrete. Commit. Quit lying to myself & structure some accountability. I mean- I'm either going to succeed as an entrepreneur or be put in the crazy house trying. Bless you! Grateful for these tips, awareness' & possibilities!

Thanks a lot Dan for this Video! really shines a light on the two biggest hurdles in my productivity of perception of time and chasing new things. Your point about managing the desire for new things is incredible.

Thank you so much for helping me. I've been in my business for almost 2 years and I just blamed COVID for my failure. I have been changing directions too many times because of my urgency, I fell into a pit where I felt like I was not ready or good enough. Your videos are helping me so much and I am excited about my future life. Thank you!

wow this is spot on! I'm currently in a big career transition from being a trainer in Korea to wanting to start my own coaching business as well. This is really great advice for us enfp's as it can be really hard to find your niche when we are talented and interested in many things. :) thanks!

I changed country and jobs on pretty much a whim. I am definitely craving the excitement of doing it again, but I am worried about the damaging impact it will have on my career. A super helpful video for me, particularly about how easy it is for us to lie to ourselves. I definitely acknowledge that sometimes I put the blindfold on to justify my actions!

I definitely have changed my direction and messaging around my business a lot over the past few years - now I know why - thanks

I just discovered this channel and I am hoping to learn a lot from it. I'm looking forward to watching a lot of these videos.

I'm surprised i even made it to the end of your video! Kept checking the time to see how much more it had to run haha! While of course thinking about and doing a thousand others things on the side. I can identify with many of what you have talked about, especially the need to focus (because it doesn't come naturally to us) and finding avenues to experience the 'newness' outside of work. Thanks!

What you are talking about here with the change in perception of time came to light for me when I started working out... I realized that success comes to those who are consistent in their small set of daily tasks and finding enjoyment in doing those tasks... it's no big hoorah speech, its a really quiet process. But what you will find is that you become something else... nothing will stop you!

I got so many gems 💎 from this single video! Thank you 🙏

Listening to this was like listening to the story of my life. I'm now in my mid-40s and have stopped and started so many things. I truly hope to be able to really succeed in something before I have the chance to get bored. Hoping beyond hope that it isn't too late for me. I always have so many ideas buzzing around in my head but find it exceedingly difficult to set-to and really make anything of them. Thank you so much for your posts. It's such a relief to have found them.

This was great, I fall solidly into the ENFP category and ive only just manage to pull myself through the university which has felt so monotonous. The heads up will be useful before I make those mistakes you've spoken about and just being self-aware is in this way is a goal for me in itself! The more I research this the more excited but scared I get.

Your channel is the best, how valuable to see another ENFP success while you are stuck in your procrastination and guilt trapped, it's very inspiring and promising 😊

Awesome video, really helpful!!

Its funny. I took the test today and have been astounded by the fact I'm completely an ENFP. The crazier thing? This is like the second video I watched on this and I constantly use the phrase to myself, slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Also your bit on podcasting is a million percent true as Ive experienced the notion that it takes time. Year 6 for my pod and its just getting to the level I expected in 6 months. Spot on dude

Thank You! I never really though about this, but I guess it can actually apply to a lot of people.

Wow! I seldom comment, but you have hit the nail on the head with me. How bizarre, it's as if you were speaking directly to me. Seeing all of the comments, it makes me feel so much relief to know that I'm not the only one that is this way. I feel understood.

Great advice. Especially on the “ meeting the need for newness” as an ENFP that is very good advice for me

Man. Yes. X's1000 YES!! You're videos are so insightful, inspiring, and sort of relieving in a way. I tested as an ENFP about a year ago, not knowing anything about the personality types... It's mind blowing how accurate or relatable everything I started reading about the ENFP personality type. Being an ENFP can really be fantastic most of the time, but also so frustrating and confusing - so many ups and downs and sideways and that way and oh! That's shiny, look at that! Lol I just wanted to drop a line, and really just say thank you. I really wish I would have found your videos years ago. Incredibly helpful! And exciting to start to learn and understand (and sometimes cope or handle) our crazy awesome personality and how/why we're wired this way. THANK YOU! 💜💜🙌🏼

Aww man. this stuff rings so true! It is amazing the stories I fabricate to justify a change in direction and goals. Usually I act as if some new bit of information has rendered my initial idea garbage, so now I am going to work on that. The sad truth is something shinier has entered the fold and I am bored with the implementation stage of the previous idea . Slow is smooth,smooth is fast (though unfamiliar) great info. Subbed!

I have always written off Myers Briggs, but after watching your channel and hearing your advice it has really been helpful to hear this feedback about myself and that i'm not alone.
