Enneagram at Work

Are your service contracts laying out clear boundaries to help you build a sustainable business that you don't burn out from?

Is your website protected from the 5 legal blindspots?

Do you know the difference between a trademark and copyright? And when does your business need one or the other?

If you're like me, and aren't sure, don't worry. 

Inside this interview with Maria Spear Ollis of Spear IP Law, you're going to get all these questions, and more, answered for how to create a healthy, long-living business (or as long as you want) that you run, not that runs you.

You'll also get an insider's look into what being a Type 2 entrepreneur is like and how she's worked to build healthy boundaries and developed rituals that allow her to take care of herself, not just others.

Learning from Maria is like learning from your friend with a law degree. Her advice is not only pure gold, but also approachable and easy to understand.

Are you constantly getting new ideas?
Do you love a good brainstorm session?
Do you have a natural ability to put a positive spin on almost anything?
Are you always seeking out the next exciting adventure or new experience?

If so, you might be an Enneagram Type 7.

Sevens are known as the Enthusiasts, the Optimists, the Multi-taskers or the Visionaries.

They are innovative, enthusiastic, funny, witty, inspirational, creative, big-picture thinkers, charming, and action-takers.

Sometimes that same energy can lead to being impulsive, irresponsible, coming across as shallow, having a short attention span,  needing to always be stimulated, and having a lack of commitment or follow-through (you know,  just in case something more exciting comes along).

Natalia Hernandez is our guest today is a relationship coach and life coach specifically for Type 7s. Inside this episode, you'll get to hear her personal experience of life as a Type 7 entrepreneur - what's helped her be successful and what can get in her way.

She shared several great resources that you can find below, along with getting connected with her and learning more about how to work with her.

Natalia is also a relationship coach and in next week's episode we zoom out the conversation to talking about all 9 Enneagram types and one challenge they each face in communication and in love based on that type, so definitely be sure to come back!

The confusion between the Type 2 and Type 9 is probably the most common mistyping pair I personally see in my business.

There are a lot of similarities between them including being very service-oriented, others first mentality, friendly, optimistic, and because of all of that, they can both sight of their own needs as they're helping everyone else.

At the same time, there are some key differences in their inner workings that's important to know if this is a pair you're stuck between.

Most Twos, if they were being honest, could admit that they can get almost anyone (that they want - they don't care about being liked by everyone) to like them. While a Nine wants to be liked, their priority is finding harmony, connection, and peace.

Nines have a tendency to idealize others and only see the good. Twos have an ability to see others deeply - their hurt, needs, and fragilities - and actually use it to feel closer to others and to feel needed.

Most Twos will walk the extra mile for those they care about and help in very practical ways, whereas a Nine is someone you'd go to be comfort and reassurance, but may struggle to provide the practical help you need.

Listen in to get more clues into the difference between these two types to help you clarify your dominant type!

Are you ready to get to work to solve this Enneagram mystery?

This is the ultimate entrepreneur/leader mashup - Type 3 known as the The Achiever, The Performer, and The Role Model with Type 8 known as The Boss, The Protector, and The Challenger.

Similarities:

Both Type 3 and Type 8 have the forward-thinking and fast-paced assertive energy.

Leadership tends to come more natural for these types and they both can be very ambitious and very competitive. They want to rise above the rest, but how they go about that is very different.


Core Drivers

At the end of the day though, the thing that makes a Three a Three and an Eight an Eight is their core driver or core strategy for getting their needs met and aligning most with their key values.

For a Type 3 that is to feel outstanding, successful, and accomplished.

For a Type 8 that is to feel powerful, strong, and in control.

Key differences

When the core strategy still isn't clear, there are some important key differentiators for these two to help you continue to narrow down your dominant type, including:

✔️dealing with stress
✔️your relationship with what others think of you
✔️how you handle problems
✔️what you tap into first (without thinking about it) when you make a decision

The Enneagram Type Nine goes about getting their needs met and avoid pain by striving to feel at peace.

Type Nines tend to be relaxed, calm, grounded, inclusive, open-minded, and excellent listeners.

That same energy can also fuel passiveness, conflict avoidance, becoming out of touch with their own thoughts and opinions, and feeling invisible.

Inside this week's interview episode, you'll hear from two Type 9 creators and entrepreneurs, Bonni Mace of Empathetic Enneagram and Kelsie Wilhoit of Healthy9Club  about working and living life with the Peacemaker energy.

You'll hear about their view on life, hustle, stress, and getting visible and sharing their opinion, even when it's not always comfortable and even when they don't always feel like.

Regardless if you identify as a Type 9 or  not, you'll get so much from hearing Kelsie and Bonni's experiences and some of their favorite resources and business strategies!

"Is it possible that your number changes over the years? I remember being a 1 like five or six years ago, and now I did the test just for fun and I'm a 4 apparently (?)"

This was such a great question I got over on Instagram the other day. While these two types on the surface may look very different, there are some very interesting similarities that do make this confusing sometimes.

Both are very idealistic, Ones have an ideal version of how the world "should" be and Fours have an idealistic version of themselves. And both deal with the specific feeling of frustration (along with Type 7s) when that ideal version isn't lived up to.

Most confusing though can be that when a One is in stress, they move to a Type Four, where they inner critic intensifies and they can slip into more depressed feelings.

And then a Four is in growth or feeling secure, it's Arrow is to a One, bringing the needed structure and routine to their ideals and creative projects.

Key differences covered in the episode include:

1) how they each make decisions
2) their orientation to time
3) how they get their needs met
4) how they handle conflict
5) handling the common good vs. personal desires
