It is interesting this upload. Not unlike Napoleon draped in your background. A great military strategist whose ambition caused certain demise. Had he taken the time to reflect on personal strengths and weaknesses he surely would have maybe humbled his pursuits and avoided exile. That said the concept of conquering specifics is a great pursuit, but being mindful of those limits is virtuous as well. You provide good thought and content so through inventory you recognize your economy of scale.
Thank you! Great comment. Napoleon is one of my favorite people to study. If I only had his ambition at least I'd fail spectacularly! Thanks for the recognition
Highly relatable - I've been on a huge journey with this. But as an Fi aux, my job does need to bring me "happiness", which at this point in my life is synonymous with "fulfillment". As an Se dom though, unlike you, I don't see a number of different options of all the things I "could do" in my future; rather, I see the thing that has been put in my lap right now, and I become blind to all other pathways and follow that one. It means that you could probably argue that I'm not reaching my "potential" in my career, but I am happy and at peace now, so that is enough to keep me going with Type, even on the days when I feel "over it" (as all creators do on the down days). I will move elsewhere only when a very clear pathway is put in front of me!
Thanks for this great comment. Your work has the convergence of your desire to express yourself, your love of type, and your passion for the theatre/putting on a show. I think you will be here for awhile! You are one of the rare few who've turned it into a great business!
Your line of thinking makes perfect sense to me. I studied Creative Writing in my undergrad, and as a counterbalance, for career planning, my other/second Bachelor's was in Business Administration. Well, I got a few courses in to business, and I didn't really connect with the other students or professors in the major. Then, I had this one wonderful Economics professor, and I had a moment of crisis where I had to shift my whole plan going forward. I was uncertain whether I should pursue economics as a field that I really connected with because no one really understands economics or the practical applications of economics, unless you eventually pursue a PhD. So I got my BFA in Creative Writing and BA in economics, but I was also terribly unemployed and underemployed to my ability for a good while. Then, stroke of genius, I started to pursue an MBA with a focus in Accountancy, and that opened up doors--because people understand the direct applicability of accounting. Now, I work in internal audit at a bank, and I love my job. Everything else I love is a hobby: psychology and type, drawing, ttrpgs, writing poetry, hiking, making random bullsh* of poor quality. Plus, taxes are a little trickier if you're out there trying to be a Sole Proprietor or lil' baby LLC. I'm happier if I'm engaged in my career to make money (right, which is NiTe stuff mostly) and everything else is value-add because I'm not placing expectations or demands on the (a bit more Fi) personal-joy type things.
This is something that happens to INTJs when they get into business. Like it or not, making money from a side project is business. INTJs, I'm one myself, start to get attached to specific expectations of outcomes. When the outcomes don't manifest, because society and markets are messy, INTJs start getting frustrated. My tactic is to detach from the outcome and to defer to other people, e.g. make money doing what you do best, then hire a sales consultant. If I really believe in it and if I think it matters, then I know that I'll come back to it, no matter how frustrated I am. Moreover, deferring to other people is an effective way of detaching emotionally from outcomes.
Shit yeah this is good. And I know many INTJs that have side businesses but they don't stress about them as if it were their main income stream. Otherwise it would be stressful and likely not work out on the timeline we want.
My whole life is deferment up until i decided it wasnt. I took too many forks and no longer did anything i was good at anymore. I wont go into details since each is a long story of its own. 1.went to college for animation. 2. Worked in a fish hatchery. 3. Had to drop everything i was doing to be a full time caretaker for a parent. 4. Had to take on my nephew as a parent. All set my art work aside, world building, and martial arts. My life was no longer my own. My decisions had nothing to do with my own outcome. My skills, talents, were literally wasted. My dreams came last to being responsible, because no one else would step up. I learned i didn't need humbling i needed a reason to care about tomorrow for myself.
It doesn't mean if you have high standards you're any good at something. There are many INTJ's who struggle, don't put us on a pedestal, it only creates more expectations and contantly saying we're so good doesn't win us any favours. Definitely not in the workplace or anywhere really. Also, there's multiple shades of grey considering making money off a hobby. People rarely consider the middle of the road and let it be a side hustle and not your main income. I like making digital art as a hobby and sure I can make money off of that, but it's not a good stable long term strategy for making money. (unless I get lucky and or really skilled) Therefore I got an engineering degree and that's gonna be the main income, way more stable, and profitable. The thing with Te doms, ESTJ's and ENTJ's is that imo Te dom is sometimes problematic because Te is a tool. Te should always be in service of something else. You use Te to get to a goal, but the goal has to come first, otherwise you act without a proper reason. That's where Ni dom comes in. Think first, then act, not the other way around. But there's lots of types that just jump into the thick of things and figure it out along the way, this sometimes works but imo is vulnerable of realising things too late into the process.
I’m about to do this kind of choice now: in a month I’ll get a master’s degree and I’ll have to choose if investing most of my time and energy in a job that pays me or in a project that I’d love. Probably I’ll get a random job and downgrade my project to a hobby since I prioritise stability.
Where’s my initial comment you wouldn’t allow? I stated you’re not an INTJ. That could be the reason why your typing career isn’t fulfilling nor making money.
This is a great video, talking about real significant stuff most type channels do not talk about enough

Ah, great click bait 😁. You got me.

I never deleted anything
Post it again, I checked all the standard filters and nothing was held for review.
