A few months ago, after church, I spent the afternoon with a Christian ENFP woman in a hotel. I contacted her to thank her for her guidance in 2011. She "intervened" and redirected me away from pursuing a career in politics.
She suggested that we meet up. She chose the place and time...but arrived 30 minutes late. I usually do not wait for late people but God told me to give her 30 minutes. She walked in exactly when I started to gather my stuff to leave.
Within minutes of us greeting each other in the hotel lobby, a Hindu friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years (but prayed for that morning in church with someone who has a Hindu boss!) walked right up to me and invited us to a Hindu wedding fashion show in the hotel meeting room. She was my manager in the political campaign that I was serving in when I met Ms. ENFP! We followed her in and enjoyed ourselves.
Ms. ENFP connected with the organizer of the fashion show (who immediately asked her to pray for him), the models, women running the merchandise booths, etc. When we moved to the hotel restaurant afterwards to eat lunch, we prayed and sang gospel songs. Turns out, our server is a lead singer of a local band. She loved Ms. ENFP's voice and requested pop songs, so she could record Ms. ENFP on her phone. That turned into Ms. ENFP giving career advice to the server who was all ears.
A legal writer sitting behind us overheard our conversation and ended up interviewing her. She was so impressed that she hired the ENFP's services on the spot. That interruption came at a perfect time because I was feeling drained after so many interactions with all of these "random" people who kept coming up to us (I am INFP), so I left them to continue their conversation without me.
Ms. ENFP has several career paths and talents (teacher, counselor, author, singer, etc.). She just naturally makes connections with people who are interested in her ideas (like me), but she never gets tired of people (unlike me!).
During your normal daily routine or social interactions, do you notice people's individual and business needs? If so, mention your ideas of how you would serve them better. Many people say yes to kinder, more personalized or efficient services and are willing to pay the higher costs. Pray for ideas and opportunities to share your ideas with the people whose needs match your skills. God will connect you!

Freelancing seems to be made for the ENFP type.
