Personality for dayyysss

I’m an ENFP.

Have you ever taken a Myers-Briggs personality test? I got really curious about learning about myself after I became an entrepreneur. Because I NEEDED to know how to make the most of my ONLY business asset: myself. I needed to know what I was already good at, what I needed to get better at, and more important than anything… what I shouldn’t be doing.

There’s something to be said about mastery, achieving a level of excellence in a specific area… especially as an entrepreneur. And it’s important to embrace that one piece of magic… especially when it comes to marketing yourself on behalf of your business.

So if you have that ONE BIG THING that you’re known for, you literally canNOT be everyTHING to everyONE.

You just can’t. So you just shouldn’t. So stop expecting that of yourself.

Here’s where to start: www.16personalities.com. It’s free, takes a few minutes, and you’ll have a pretty accurate blueprint of who you are and how you operate. You’ll also have a pretty accurate description of what you’re NOT good at.

Learning my weaknesses was one of the most satisfying, freeing, and empowering thing I could have ever done for myself (personally and professionally). Trust me, I’m a hustler, my work ethic is top-notch, I’m definitely an over-giver. But that’s not sustainable—balance and rest are as important as hustle and grind. They’re opposite AND equal.

Learning my weaknesses allowed me to give myself grace in areas that I was being WAY too hard on myself (like not having a rigid, color-coded calendar or struggling to build a spreadsheet).

Here’s your homework!

1) Find your weakness

2) Find someone who embodies that as their strength

3) Create a process for how those skills fit inside your business

4) Pay them for their expertise

5) Keep doing what lights you up

6) Work together as a team to make things easier, more fun, and more profitable

It’s one thing to read this and agree with it, it’s another to actual steps toward betterment. Show me you’re here to win: What’s your personality type? What do you need to outsource?
