I'm an INTP and I enjoy problem solving and creating something new. I can hyper focus and work really hard at figuring something out. But it's a huge let down when I realize that I have figured out how to make something new for work, but in order to make a living I need to do repeat what I have figured out already over and over, which would use up most of my time and be not so interesting. That's where I am now. I could hire someone and teach them, but the skill level is high and I would be in a tough spot if they quit, due to the time it would take to hire and train someone else.
I have started the process to invent a new product that could be made with less skill, not entirely, but 3/4 of the time it would take to make. So it would free up my time and I would feel better knowing that I have solved the problem in such a way that I don't have to repeat most of the work over and over. I could hire someone to do most of the work and they would be able to start without much training. But the catch is that I have to spend more time and money now to get that going.
Another issue is that I don't put a lot of effort into sales and marketing because I know that that would lead me more in the direction of having to do more and more routine work. So I'm left with not having less business and less money and going nowhere.
What do you think?
