#5: ENFP Consulting

Half of starting a business is knowing thyself.  We all have our strengths and weaknesses.  Well I’m the kind of guy who’s never particularly good at anything, but everyone’s completely in awe at how relatively good I am at everything.  Another word for that is being an ENFP.  That means I get calls from everyone I’ve ever met asking both business and personal advice on all manner of things.  I really have had people call and ask where they can get bulk swords, ceramic frogs, or how to fix computer programs I’ve never seen-last week  I had a missionary stop me asking legal advice regarding knocking on doors in unfriendly cities.  I didn’t earn this reputation or skill; it’s just a personality type (catalyzed by a great upbringing, great educational training, and a lot of effort.)  Whatever the reason, I truly am the kind of guy who can walk into any business in America and, very shortly, write a 50 page paper on steps they could take to improve their business.  I don’t natively read financial statements or analyze arbitrage on hedging schemes-my gift is to be decently good at every subject, which allows me to thrive in small business and excel in growth-phase companies, and allows me to give very specific and profitable advice to anyone who asks.  Try me by calling or posting a comment below.  And if you like what I say, go to enfpconsulting.com and return to me a small percentage of the value I provided for you.

Hi,

I finished reading the description of your company and felt like I was reading an autobiography! Of course, I too am an ENFP with a business background. It is my dream to work with or start a consulting business much like your own. I will be interviewing for my MBA at Canada’s Queen’s School Business in about a month. I would love to speak with you before I interview to learn more about how you really got ENFP Consulting off the ground and discuss the possibility of interning with you should I successfully enroll in their MBA program.
