Yeah I ll partner with my brother who is INTJ
I was going to say the same, except in my case it's "find an INFJ to kick your butt." :laughing:
Oh, right. I'm married to and business partners with the same INFJ. He's great at prodding me in the, er, buttocks when we need to get things done, I provide the visionary bit and manage the creative side of things. Admittedly we're both slightly impractical in some ways, so our business teeters from the brink of one nearly missed disaster to another at times. I'm better at coming up with strategies but shit at implementing them, he's more planned but slightly unrealistic at times... somehow this works and we mostly balance each other out. And our third business partner (ISTP) does much of the routine crap we both find incredibly boring-- I'd rather brainstorm and design, my husband would rather play around with code all day long.
Sorry if I m too quick in generalizations.I know an engineer INFJ (systems engineering) and a coder INFJ, they're a subgroup but definitely there. We have an office in theory, my husband does most of his work there while I prefer to haul my Notebook around and get things done wherever. Our problems, such as they are, have mostly to do with being more interested in figuring out tangentially related things than with dealing with the routine everyday part of business, which is unfortunately the foundation of any successful business. Our ISTP is very helpful! But her business sense is frankly shit, so we try to make up for this. :laughing:Interesting how the INFJ is the one who codes, I thought it was more a xNTx realm. I am myself learning coding and I will be the one in charge of customer relations and the ecommerce plateform. I know an INFJ though she tried learning Webdesign but didn't make it through yet
Do you have office hours or you kind of are free to do whatever Ne pushes you to do?
What your comment about her protesting attests very well. Do you personnally deal with customers? I know I could be good at it, but I m afraid it could be very time consuming and frustrating in the end.Right now? Not much. I'm actually pretty kick ass at sales and customer service, but right now we have the ISTP run most of that side of things. It's... probably going to change at some point.ENTP, INFJ and ISTP coworking must be fun
Some INTP friend recommanded his books. Especially the 5 hours week. Thanks for your advice though! I m curious to know how u interpreted it.
Well, that was A LOT of new information when I first read it 5-6 years ago, but now when I read it again not long ago it was just 'wow that guy is definitely an entp', a lot of encouragement and shortcuts to success. I just find his approach so different and refreshing compared to what most books on business/productivity etc say. We suck at structure and we need to either plan everything with this in mind, or have a trusted partner take care of all the routine from the very start. Not that we can't go the traditional route; I believe that we can do whatever we set our entp mind to, it's just that we won't necessarily be happy with that approach and will have to overcompensate for our we weaknesses.
