Whether or not you're an ENFP like myself, this advice is going to help you make the job application process a little less painful...plus you'll actually land the job you want. The Free Freelancer is open this week only. Check out the free training I'm hosting on Wednesday, Oct 30th 2019: https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/specialevent/

Are you FAILING your MBTI Type?! An INFP sent in a question about this topic and I'd like to share my own story that relates to personality psychology (mis)understandings.  There are a lot of extremes when it comes to understanding 16 personalities. If you're an idealist personality type, especially an INFP or ENFP, your environment might be affecting you more than other types, so you may end up not recognizing yourself in most of your personality type descriptions.

I've been living abroad since 2012. First as more of a Digital Nomad I lived in Costa Rica, New York, Germany, Italy and Spain before setting myself up in Prague. This month I'm in Belgrade and wanted to share some tips for settling in and feeling at home fast when you move somewhere new.

I've been in Belgrade, Serbia for a few weeks. In the process I've been testing out some different approaches around goals, productivity, and fitness as an ENFP. It's not always easy to have enough self-control and stick to our diet and health plans when traveling, especially for us ENFPs and INFPs. We like to try new things, experience the new place, people...and food, of course! I want to share some updates on my own diet, big picture thinking, fitness, and productivity.

How amazing would it be if friends and family supported your ideas and believed you would ACTUALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN?! Learn how to create this reality for yourself in today's episode. Here's the free business training I mentioned: https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/awesome-people/ And here is the Dreamers community, if you'd like to check it out: https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/dreamers/

Are INTJs stuck up and boring?! For people who are new to MBTI and personality psychology, INTJ personality type is often mistaken for an ISTJ or ESTJ who...let's just say really, really like rules. So what's the real truth about INTJs? If you've missed my interview with my INTJ brother Rowan, it's just recently released, search for "Living On a Boat: A Surprising INTJ Interview".

If you're making the transition from corporate or cubicle work to being your own boss and working for yourself you'll need to make some serious mindset shifts! Here's the free training I mentioned at the end of the episode (if you're working for yourself or are thinking to start, you don't want to miss this one): https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/awesome-people/

This episode is for you if you're, let's just say, sometimes an as*hole to yourself. This one is for all my Idealist Brothers and Sisters, that is you ENFPs, INFPs, ENFJs, and INFJs. When you're having a bad day, not feeling very productive and your mood is not too light, you may end up beating yourself up for it. But...Does that really help? In this episode I'm sharing what to do instead and how to handle what seems to be wasted days and take good care of yourself.

When I follow good ideas for a daily routine and habits like cardio exercise, planning what I need to do, and eating well I feel great and get more done...and then...I stop. I can't be the only ENFP who does this, right?! "I'm feeling great, I don't need to go to the gym today..." Yes, routine and maintenance suck for us ENFPs and our fellow INFPs but sometimes we just have to do it!

An ENFP asks about choosing the right career or business idea. Having lots of options is never a struggle for an ENFP...it's choosing JUST ONE and actually taking action. Help is on the way! In this episode I share advice and tips for making a good career choice and then taking action to make it happen as an ENFP. For the episode on the 70% Rule I mention and a whole lot more, check the podcast episode How to Stop Dabbling, Achieve Your Goals, and Succeed in Business.

An ENFP (possible INFP) from Iran asks about online gaming addiction and figuring out what the heck to do with your life. As a former Starcraft pro I know the joy of gaming...But there are times for it and times to stop. Sometimes when we're trying to figure out our purpose or what we want to do with our life, these little distractions or addictions like online gaming, dating, alcohol, Netflix and TV can have a terrible effect. https://www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/ask-dan/

What does an ENFP and ISTJ marriage look like? Can it work? This AskDan relationship question hits some big points for my fellow ENFPs about relationship compatibility and building the right relationship for your type.

Are you thinking about living an alternative lifestyle? In this episode I'm interviewing Rowan, my Little Brother from The Big Brothers Mentoring program, who's now living on a boat! Rowan and I met as a part of Big Brothers Mentoring program in Vancouver in which I was assigned to be his mentor Big Brother. He's all grown up now and I'm happy and proud to be interviewing him about his peculiar lifestyle.

Us ENFPs love our Freedom. Ask an ENFP what they want and you'll think you've caught a replay of Braveheart. But is pursuing freedom above all out really the best advice for ENFPs? For an ENFP, is freedom really a good goal or should you focus on something more fulfilling, deeper, or more important to long term happiness?

Sometimes you just need permission to go after your dreams…this episode is just that. Who or what is keeping you from pursuing your dreams? Could it be that it is actually you yourself? My hope is that after listening to this episode you'll feel inspired and motivated to make a firm decision to go after your dreams, take action on your goals and ultimately transform your life. This advice is especially relevant to ENFPs and INFPs. I've got you!
