it's a simple question, and no one can answer? well screw you guys
because i'm thinking of starting one. starting at small though and just having friends as clients to test the waters. I plan on cooking meals for people than charging a fee.
I had a little "business" which sold around $400 in art but bought around $3000 in art supplies. I would not call that a success, but maybe you are a better cook than I am an artist.
I could see them getting sidetracked with their business and making it personal (customers are frieds/friends are customers).
I'd believe that nobody runs emotion-based businesses (coffee/chocolate shops) like INFP.
I think these are misconceptions about the INFP personality in general. Since you mentioned ESTPs, from my observations, they are much more likely to get buddy-buddy with clients.
..starting at small though and just having friends as clients to test the waters...
I don't count people I know as my customers, because they are most likely buying stuff from me just because they know me personally. That's giving a biased perspective on customer-seller relationship.
Since you mentioned ESTPs, from my observations, they are much more likely to get buddy-buddy with clients. This is because they tend to be more sociable & outgoing, being extroverts.
It's a great flaw of mine anyway to not be personable with people. I tend to prefer to compartmentalize my life, and have even offended clients by being very to-the-point & direct. I forget to say "how are you?" and things like that because I just don't care.
A lot of the "friendly" stuff has far more to do with extroversion than feeling.
