Two Paths To Freedom I See Successful ENFPs Follow

Whether we’re talking success in a career, in college, or working for yourself, there are two distinct paths I see successful ENFPs take to build the life of freedom we’re all after...PLUS a DISASTROUS route no ENFP should ever take...but many, MANY, do...Subscribe: bit.ly/ytsubdreams
Keep this enfp advice in mind when you're choosing your major, choosing a career, or deciding on whether to work for yourself.
I'm an ENFP myself and have been working with ENFPs for many years now. I see a successful ENFP as having their life together, doing what they say they'll do and overall living a happy life. There are two potential paths that I've noticed successful ENFPs tend to go down...although personally I strongly prefer one ENFP success path over the other.

Thanks for watching. One thing I do want to add to this video, is just that it is normal and often VERY beneficial for younger ENFPs (teens, 20s) to try lots of things, start and stop, and therefore gain a lot of experience in a short time. This is part of our development and is important to being a real badass in our later years. So if you're watching this at 18 or 22, I'd say ignore either path and go take a crazy trip around the world...and don't come home and commit to any sort of path until you've spent the night in prison at least a few times in at least a few countries :)

Dreams Around The World I would love to travel around the world!!!! but unfortunately my status in the USA does not permit me to travel outside the United States. I have D.A.C.A. Not to put excuses or anything but I’m still in college and bearly getting through financially. I come from a low income family. My Parents make 30k a year combined with 6 total people in the same house. 3 younger sibling + me. I live in California and have ADHD. I am a ENFP & I am 20 years old. I am hoping to become elementary teacher. Any advice for me ??

[@josecosta8943]

That's exactly what I did at that age and everything has been SO worth it!!! Now I'm about to turn 27 getting ready to move to my 6th country of residence in the next year.

[@freezeblizz]

Dreams Around The World Hello Dan, I’m actually still 22. I’ve worked for 3 companies so far and 1 company for internship back in college. You are sooo right about this, it’s really hard for me to stick around in one place. I’ve been moving a lot too since I was even younger. But it’s getting scarier as the time passes, because I’m scared that I always wanna move and will never be able to settle down. Whenever I have money, I always wanna travel. I even quit my jobs because I was like “wellll, I’ll get another one after this lol”. No regrets though lol. Weeeird! But it makes me really concern about my future! Ugh. People are saving money to buy a house or whatever, here I am saving money to go on the next trip and eventually be broke again and do the same thing again. Please help me lol Please please please, make a video about us young ENFPs, I’m sure there’s many of us struggling out there. Love you Dan ❤️

Discipline, discipline, discipline. New to the ENFP world I have already sensed out that discipline is the biggest aspect in being and creating a successful ENFP journey and life. I believe you have mentioned this in your previous videos. Doing small things like making your bed in the morning, taking a cold shower, stop drinking and going out on the weekends, and just overall taking control of your actions and being more mindful, actually doing meditation. These are all the things that will ultimately help and ENFP to stick to their plans or help. I know it might sound like I'm a stickler for discipline but honestly its what drives success in any ones life. It will also help you to save money and actually have a savings account which is another plus.

[@JaymeSejean]

Thank you. All my life I've rebelled against norms and feel like I run on a different clock to the rest of the world and i work for myself making videos full time. Now over the past few months I've learnt how waking up at the same time, having daily goals and a form of routine has really nourished my mental health ✌ absolutely gonna keep it up now

[@Mujcanal]

I think you are right in 100%

[@snacob7628]

I disagree, ENFPs are built to be creative, not disciplined. It’s better for us to follow what inspires us if we actually want to get something done, if we give ourselves rigid structures it won’t be sustainable

Can an ENFP do both? Work a full time job and pursue their creative side job after hours and in the weekends? Then once they have built up their side job enough, then quit? Would love to hear your thoughts on this method.

Thats exactly what i wanted to do. Work on the traction of the dream job. Going to school or taking classes for my dream goal by working at Mcdonalds to pay bills and surviving in the meantime

[@prajwalsharma213]

I am doing the same thing

[@PreciousPotat]

Seems the most logical path to me. After all, even if you got a good idea for your own business, it still takes time and money to get everything lined up before you open. The vid seems to be only about the extremes, but I guess that most people neither have a job that makes an insane amount of money or are highly successful being an artist or whatever. More like, a nice job that pays the bills and selling on Etsy, depending on what you like to do, or investing time into social causes, raising the kids, having fun travelling etc. :) No pressure.

Hey Dan! Thanks for this vidéo. One of my first impression was: fuck! Why i listened other people who told me to finish my studies before travel. I had a feeling like it was now and not other moment for do it. So i feel a little sad because i have the impression that it' too late for me and when i think to everything i would and didn't i feel really empty. One of my first impression was: why i didn't discover you when i was twenty but it's ok. I'm crying when i write this message, it makes me so emotional but i will not give up. I will realize my dreams. So thank you Dan, i feel understand and it' s very liberating! For all Enfp and everyone: do what makes you happy and don't listen other people too much!

You can do it, it is definitely never too late to live a happy and fulfilled life.

[@electricbutterfly1]

ENFP accountant here, and I think it depends on the level you’re at. I’m in financial reporting. High level stuff and it’s constant problem solving and I love it. Like everything it depends. You’re right about the personality conflicts. Also there is jealousy because I see solutions others don’t.

[@josecosta8943]

Watching your videos makes me feel alive every time! I have been struggling to follow my heart for several years now only because I haven't been brave enough to leave all this crappy lifestyle behind to walk the actual right path which is pursuing my calling. And that is to be an artist, help minorities speak up for themselves and inspire people while being inspired back by their stories. It becomes really tough when the only person who supports your vision is yourself. My family has always pushed me to be a money making machine and get involved in a bunch of tedious, stressful and absolutely unworthy careers. Traditional jobs are stil the ones that end up bringing you that sense of security most people are looking for and that's what success means to those I love; however, I don't share this belief with them. Lately, I have noticed that I'm becoming this depressed, weak and hopeless version of myself for not expressing who I really am. We are all born gifted with our own inidividual set of talents that were installed in us to be used and MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the space where we are. You're giving me back the voice that has been shut for a long time and now I feel stronger to take action and stop living in fear of failing. It's not going to be an easy route, but I have faith in myself and what I can do. The world needs people like you to save lives that are going down the drain every day. Thank you for making us want to keep breathing and fighting for our truth!

Great video bro. I started my own business 5 years ago. Loved it but also loved the idea of doing other things. Almost quit in year 4 but I somehow, and happily, got through it. But your right - year 5 is the year I’m actually thinking “Damn, I totally got this. This is about to get really interesting and fun!” I’m genuinely excited about my career future and agree that picking a choice and sticking with it is a solid path.

[@WeicaiXu]

You nailed it again Dan. I did the employee rat race for 5 years (feels like a lifetime) and hated it. Wanted to quit every 6-9 months and regret the fear of not starting my own thing. I did made a good chunk of money. I decided now to go route 2 which is VERY scary and I am left in this uncertainty of what value I can bring and what I am passionate about.. it drives me crazy. But the choice of route 2 is made even if the little voice in me sometimes nudges me to do route 1

[@annio5234]

I feel that I'll choose path 2 but do also feel that there are to many options bc of my interests and passion yet. I'm 33 and just quit a 15 Years relationship (getting divorced) an starting all over again, a new chapter in my life which feels like the right thing for me. Now I'm trying to become a better version of myself, clear up everything step by step, catch up things I've ever loved and wanted to do and see where my journey leads. Thank you for all that good input ❣

As an ENFP i choose option 2 when i left France for Canada so i can get a better education, because a 2 years A degree to work in a lab all day during one year wasn't satisfying enough. Now, im in college about 2 years from graduating, i'm learning new things that i'm excited about and adding more possibilities to my work path as well. That's actually my third year since i took that flight and, yess its hard to leave our roots but totally worth it, challenging, it brings new perspectives on life and allow me to meet great people. I don't want to have regrets because there will be nothing to do about it once time is past. Really enjoy your videos, feels like a good explanation of why we ENFP do those things that we do lol.

Thanks for this, very true! I have only tried it once to quit, travel, and try my own thing, run out of money and go back to a job and this is my experience: 1) I was disappointed with myself, yet I learned the parts of the work I truly hated doing (marketing, yes!) 2) on the other hand I understood without structure I would be screwed at all times 3) that I can't do the maths AND the marketing AND the articles AND the videos all on my own - can you? You said in one of your vids, your gf was editing your videos 4) my perfectionism and my excuses when it gets new/tough/boring are killing me, but this would be the easier part Now I have decided I keep my job for now and try to do it step-by-step in the evenings - because what else? Important note: Even though I quit my project at first (wanted to do writing retreats at first) I learned about PR in my job, as well as marketing and I know journos now who can help me once I hit it off :)) Also now my boss wants to make podcasts... so in a way I am learning by some authority making me do things I actually need for myself later on So my QUESTION is: How could I possibly get money to do this again? Can I finish a book AND start making podcasts AND learning Gestalt all at once when in the evenings while having that full-time job in PR by religiously organizing my time according to your advice in other vids? Thank you And thank you again for this work, it is so brilliant/accurate, I must laugh all the time listening to this

[@manifestmassively]

OMG your videos are making such a difference for me thank you so much

[@enfp]

Glad you like them!

[@StealingCookiez]

I've been attempting the first route by trying to go to college for a career that will make me money. I prefer route 2, and so the ENFP stress has me drowning on top of having to work full-time to afford (if that's what you want to call it) school. I don't think I can take it; I'm a creative and I need to go create. My biggest dilemma is my INFP partner is disabled and I feel like I absolutely have to do everything in my power to make money for her. But perhaps me being miserable is worse for us than being broke. Perhaps we can be a creative power couple. I guess I will find out some day.

[@JustASmalltownGirl10]

Tayderp how are things going?

[@bratz-t3f]

I believe you can!

[@jasmitsc]

I have been doing exactly the wrong thing i dint even try my career path every time get scared and pick up what's available and then not commit to that as well the worst was being in a 4 yr relationship where i quit multiple times and when i finally made up my mind to commit she had moved on I don't know which girl to puruse the one that brings stability in my life or the one that i enjoy talking to (my type) where it prioritise companionship

[@joymarielauren]

What if you can't figure out which passion to go with? As an ENFP you know we have a lot of interests and passions. How do you narrow it down to just one? Thanks for these videos btw! They've been helpful since I'm not the greatest at self awareness and introspection.

[@enfp]

I have some videos on this, but my plane is taking off so no time to find a link for you :)

[@prajwalsharma213]

I am the same I am like. I wanna go med school so I Should study hard.7 days later oh shit this is not my calling should do music 5 days later shit I have to study and the cycle never ends.

[@ioana440]

So what did you do? Are you in med school?

[@heidisgarden2140]

I probably fall under 1#. I am a forklift driver. Am I good at it? No. But my leads/ managers are always patient with me because I try hard. Lol Luckily, my husband makes pretty good money. The goal is to have all our cars and house paid off in 5-7 years. Then we can pursue more of what we love. Until then, I am focused on my family, home and yard. That way I have a creative outlet.

[@TK_Danes]

Having the foundation down to be able to focus on the fun and adventure. I agree

[@cutkeybrucejr1]

I'm going down route 2 all the way always have been always will be

[@enfp]

Hell yeah!

[@nichollesweat7435]

Most my jobs were repetitive and I didn't like them. The one I have now I like sometimes when I'm helping people but not all the paperwork. I have yet to have a job that I can use my creativity or makes me happy.

[@aidahasanzadeh648]

Your videos are AMAZING!

[@enfp]

Thank you!

[@rgx4306]

For the all out route, soooooooo where are the savings and living income coming from?

[@thisismylife-i5t]

The one I should not have picked..I have to think about this

[@pacorka9943]

I really want to do option 2. All of my good friends and co workers know that I can do it but my family doesn't. They are afraid I won't have the money to sustain myself this way. So what is the best way to sustain yourself as you're building yourself up for option 2? Because I would love to know!

[@queeniecc6262]

I am the last example of jumping between the two. I have burned a lot of time in the process.

[@dandych.8197]

..... and the thing is you need to be brave.

[@apanda7]

This is so me. Now I’m working in marketing, and freelancing I’m working with one client. I am looking for More marketing clients.

[@Cozmii]

i m exactly like this ... when i heard about cartoonist i was like ''THIS IS ME!'' ... I wanna make so many things and because of it I don t do anything... I work at a Gas Station and money are not too good ... I wanted to quit so many times ... but I wanna make enough money for uni

[@Suprizle]

Hey Dan! fellow ENFP and new subscriber here. I hope this reaches your attention. My ultimate goal is to become a full time freelance content creator (editor and comic illustrator) no matter the cost and move to BC. I just landed a high paying editing contract which technically places me in the first route to success as I work on a set schedule. My plan is to save as much money as possible, build my network on the side, and once my contract is up, go full out on pursuing my dream as I will have the money to move/work freely around the world. Now based on the video, engaging both may be the touch of death. So here is my caveat. The job does engage my creativity and it is allowing me to exercise and expand my current skills which I could see complimenting Route 2. I have no doubts I will derive from pursuing my dream to work a 9-5, but ultimately I don't want to fall into any potential pits so I would much appreciate your opinion on my plan and if I'm doing the right thing. Also, sorry for the long read.... ENFP tendency. :P

[@saragrauso9904]

At 4:50 it's me 😢😂 And so I'm searching people to build my own project. It's not simple, expecially in south Italy, but I'm tryin'. Thank you, you're so inspiring 👍

[@blux2688]

What about music and singing/performing for ENFP's. I know Entertainment personalities may suit them more but I've seen many recommend acting/writing for us. I think performing would keep us on our toes and would allow a variety of options within the job :) opinion?

[@enfp]

I think it can be a great direction if you're passionate about it (and good)

[@HopeBloomMusic]

I would love to hear your thoughts (a video on, maybe?) how one supports themselves financially while going all in for their dream if they are living paycheck to paycheck as it is. Thank you! -Daniel

[@enfp]

I did a video on roughly this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5nafpR7gqygqaM but I tell you what, I'll record a podcast expanding on this so subscribe to the podcast here: www.dreamsaroundtheworld.com/podcast/ and keep an eye out for it. Dan

[@AM-fh7ek]

Great video! I needed to hear that:)

[@takchengsze4719]

I am am infp and I want to be a comic illustrator. I am all in and pursue it. I cannot think of better thing to do.

[@enfp]

That's awesome, then I have no double you'll make it happen.

[@takchengsze4719]

@@enfp thanks. You are encouraging.

[@tessicat]

But...how does one fund a creative endeavor? And how does one choose just one creative endeavor? And how does one feel like they're good enough to do so? I never seem to get past "good but not excellent". It's too expensive to not have a job while trying to develop a skill/business/whatever, so how do I not just get burned out?

[@enfp]

You have to sacrifice something. Is that going to be the comfort that a job gives you, or something else, it's on you to decide :)

[@annak5261]

Wow! i needed this so much right now thank you!

[@enfp]

You're welcome! :)

[@nganthoidevi7114]

I wanted to go into creative writing in college but after thinking logically went into science.. I lost motivation midway and just try to finish for the sake of it... then chose a completely different field in masters.. which in hindsight doesn't have much career prospects... Now I am a total NEET...I don't want to stay like this

[@Anniemusic123]

How could u read ur mind?lol even my career consultant couldn't tell what I really want lol but this video clears it out !

[@olakd8913]

I have problem choose one thing. I'm interested many things when I need to decide one thing I don't know which one I mostly want. I'm 25 now, please someone can give me advice? I want to be rich and famous but in the which way I don't know. How can I choose one thing without try it❓

[@priyamsrivastava635]

I a gonna be a Machine Learning Engineer for next 6-7 years earn lot of money ...while doing BSC Honors in Psychology from Open University in meantime...and make business out of it.

[@tumelomoshodi355]

This came really helpful

[@enfp]

Glad to hear that!

[@aliciahenry7972]

Any ideas on what to start a business in for ENFPs? I have so many ideas but never have enough courage to start up.

[@1111_Millionaire]

I don’t know what my passion is 🤦🏾‍♀️. I’ve tried so many jobs. But I just want to have my own business

[@elisabethschlarb3059]

STOP READING MY MIND Haha jk this is so incredibly accurate, I feel like you're actually talking to me and that you actually know me! 😅

[@otanix]

Why are ENFPs so damn good looking?

[@slope560]

welp, not me

[@rafidahje8862]

Not me

[@LolaDareng]

Look at me!

[@angelic4112]

We can be stylish as well 🙂

[@kosherekorozoko]

Thanks that's really make me smile 😁😁😁😁

[@shimahosseini2921]

i went both paths 2 years ago and messed up both

[@king-nick2023]

lol I was about to choose the realist route! Honestly if I can make 5,000-10,000 a month I’d be ok for the rest of my life. I don’t need more than that.

[@Steve-hi1db]

Hello fellow crackheads lol, I found for me being my own boss has given me the motivation to work and also be creative. Most importantly I can do what I want in my own time, I can travel when I want where I want, People won’t understand you and that’s ok. But I’ll be damned if I end up working for someone else’s dreams

[@freidenkerin5198]

I'd recommend to start your own thing while you're still in your bread earning job. :-)

[@enfp]

If that's possible, definitely!

[@niknikelbert1660]

exactly what i am doing all the time. going my own way. scared. get back. going my own way. how do I know what`s te best for me?

[@OfficeManagerforAM]

Story of my life.

[@Raikovip]

Hello Bro, Im ENFP and im going to choose UX UI design journey, after 3-5 yers maybe i will go to self business!

[@-D_R]

Hey Dan, I am an ENFP too as you know we ENFPs have TOO many interests, how do you think we can narrow it down to one or two? Currently I am a high school graduate, trying to figure out which course to take in college and it's not going well.

[@WalkScripture]

I AM an entrepreneur. Let’s say that again. I AM AN ENTREPRENEUR.

[@ironfoo1]

I'm exactly where you are saying that I shouldn't be at. Except I'm out of funds and not that young anymore. What do you think I should do then?
