They have similar goals of working for themselves, doing something creative, doing work that is actually enjoyable, fulfilling, and serves some kind of purpose.  \nWhat’s interesting is how people come to me.  \nI won’t say this is everyone, but one thing I’ve noticed is the ENFP will often come and say:  \nHey, Dan, I’m interested in your program. I had this job I didn’t like, I just quit last week, and I’m going to do my own thing. I’m going to start my business and I’m super excited for it.  \nThe INFP, on the other hand, I’ve noticed will come with something that’s a little more like:  \nHey, Dan, I just got fired from my job last week. And it was such a great bit of news. I’ve wanted to quit for years and now I can finally start my own business. Here are my plans…  \nIt may seem like a little difference, but it’s actually quite a difference.  \nCampaigner vs Mediator  \nThe ENFP personality tends to take that leap earlier, whereas I’ve noticed – and again, it’snot everyone I’ve worked with – but I’ve noticed the INFP personality tends to be a lot more risk-averse.  \nUltimately, the two personality types have a very similar goal, but INFP people have more difficulty pushing themselves to take a big risk, to quit their job or change directions, and actually go for it.  \nWhereas with the ENFP Campaigner maybe it’s the shiny object syndrome or we’re just a little crazy, but we’re more likely to actually just go for it and take that big risk.  \nNow, what’s interesting is what happens maybe six months or a year after that initial change and that’s some of those patterns I’ve noticed with ENFPs and INFPs as well a bit.  \nThe ENFP sometimes sticks to it and kicks ass, becomes very successful at what they’redoing and other times they get off course, so ultimately, it’s fear coming in for both the ENFP and INFP.  \nIt’s fear under the surface. This is what fear does to you – not in a nice way, though.  \nIt’s here under the surface kind of bubbling up, but with the ENFP personality type that fear tends to push us towards shiny object syndrome where we’re saying:  \nI did want to start this business, but I saw this other business opportunity! or maybe I should go back to school! or  \nMaybe I can do something different, there’s a better opportunity there!  \nWhereas the INFP Mediator type I’ve noticed more tends to backtrack a bit to this safer route and lose some of that interest a bit quicker.  \nAnd again, this isn’t across the board.  \nINFP, Prepare and Beat Fear The reason I’m sharing this with you is:  \nIf you’re an INFP, you can prepare for these mental patterns because having the thought of being six months into your own business and having the thought of:  \nMaybe I should go back and get a job again!  \nThat’s an okay thought to have. That’s this fear.  \nBut taking action on it or going against it, that’s what really separates people who stick to their dreams and make it happen and people who are regretful 20-30 years later looking back.  \nSo it’s normal to have that feeling of fear. but what I’ve noticed some INFPs will do is then either backtrack and get another job that really isn’t the thing they wanted to be doing.  \nOr go back to something like education, which is","cbCaiegZcyFVuz3d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiegZcyFVuz3d","pdf",295544,"English","# ENFP vs INFP: the key difference\n## Fear-driven decisions and risk levels\n## Preparing and beating fear as an INFP","[{\"question\":\"What is the main difference between ENFP and INFP described in the document?\",\"answer\":\"The document highlights that ENFPs tend to take the leap earlier, while INFPs are more risk-averse and have more difficulty pushing themselves to make a big change.\"},{\"question\":\"How does fear affect ENFP and INFP over time?\",\"answer\":\"Fear stays under the surface for both types.
