Let’s be real—your personality is basically the unofficial CEO of your business. It decides how you plan, promote, create, and sometimes… spiral. And that’s where the Enneagram swoops in with all the tea.
If you’ve ever wondered why you’re obsessed with Canva templates while your biz bestie thrives in chaos, it’s time to meet your Paint Party Enneagram Type.
Ready to find out which one you are? You might spot your clients, biz besties, or even your inner marketing alter ego in here too.

Type 1: The Reformer – The Detail Diva
You color-code your calendar, and your idea of a wild night is reorganizing your supply closet. You genuinely enjoy the business side of things, but perfectionism can stall your progress.
Try This: Launch before you’re “ready.” That Instagram caption doesn’t need to be Pulitzer-worthy. Progress over perfection, always.

Type 2: The Helper – The Heart-Centered Hustler
You love making people feel special, and your parties are basically therapy with paintbrushes. You’re the queen of DMs, thank-you notes, and checking in on your guests. But when it’s time to talk pricing? You hesitate.
Try This: Boundaries are beautiful. Create a rate sheet and stick to it—your energy is a limited resource, and it deserves to be protected.

Type 3: The Achiever – The Marketing Queen
Your camera roll is 90% flatlays, and your idea of fun is scheduling Reels for the next month. You’re ambitious, results-driven, and maybe a little addicted to the thrill of a sold-out event.
Try This: Celebrate small wins before you jump to the next thing. Your goals deserve more than a two-second happy dance.

Type 4: The Individualist – The Creative Visionary
No cookie-cutter parties for you. You crave meaning, mood, and a little magic in everything you create. Your events have soul… but so do your doubts.
Try This: Focus on your art, your story, your voice. You’re not behind—you’re building something unforgettable.

Type 5: The Investigator – The Quiet Strategist
You’ve got 17 Google Docs, 42 tabs open, and you just signed up for another free business challenge. Research is your comfort zone—but action? That’s another story.
Try This: Pick one thing this week to try. Hosting your first party teaches you more than reading your 87th how-to blog ever will.

Type 6: The Loyalist – The Safety Net Queen
You’re reliable, thoughtful, and your customers can feel how much you care. Your biggest fear? Making the wrong move or disappointing someone.
Try This: You’ve got everything you need already. Confidence isn’t something you find—it’s something you build through action.

Type 7: The Enthusiast – The Creative Wild Child
Ideas? You have a million. Energy? Through the roof. Your parties are full of color, laughter, and sometimes a little chaos. Systems and consistency? Not your favorite.
Try This: Automate what bores you. Scheduling tools, templates, and checklists can keep you on track without stifling your spark

Type 8: The Challenger – The Take-Charge Trailblazer
You’re bold, decisive, and not afraid to carve your own path. You’ve got vision, guts, and big goals. But you may struggle to let go of control.
Try This: Delegation isn’t a weakness—it’s a power move. Hand off a few tasks so you can stay focused on your zone of genius.

Type 9: The Peacemaker – The Chill Queen
You create calm, cozy, feel-good experiences that people genuinely love. Your events feel like a deep breath—but when it’s time to sell or set pricing? You freeze.
Try This: Think of selling as an invitation, not a transaction. Your talent has value, and it’s okay to ask for what you’re worth.

So, What’s Your Type?
Whether you’re a glitter-loving Seven or a spreadsheet-obsessed Five, every type brings something powerful to the table. The secret to success? Learning how to work with your personality—not against it.
Feeling inspired (and maybe a little called out)?
Then it’s time to stop just dreaming about your paint party business and actually make it happen.

Type 4 and 6
Heidi, I am 4 7 and an 8! Being ADHD NEURODIVERGANT on the spectrum ,I find it hard to book parties. I was in sales for most my life and it is not helping. The parties are few and far between even though I have been posting public parties every weekend. One or 2 may show but trueth is its not covering the labor. I am stupid when it comes to computers. I try to follow yhe directions to canva and only find my self frustrated and out of 100 dollars of ink trying to get the print out correct. Im 53 and last time I worked on a computer was gateway the and a in home system at my last job that cause so much confusion I ended up with heart problems from the stress. I want to be well rounded but I dont learn well without training . I see everyone succeeding and I’m failing .
I live bringing joy to people with art, to create memories that become Masterpieces in the hearts and minds of a person’s life. Therapeutic, and confidence building changes. But I’m loosing hope that is will make it. Because I dont have the ability to use modern computer tech.
Is there print outs or anything to help me show the many pictures and the trainings to help the painting to flow faster, with supply lists all in one place where you can look up a design, and download all the stuff you need and watch the video to teach how to do it. ? Something easy? Where I might be able simplify and help me to succeed with this . I pray for this. I fail at so much due to my learning issues, but my heart craves to succeed in this. Art is my life and ministry. I need help and my heart breaks 💔 that I might fail at this too. Please. Help me.
Hey Heather!
I’m so sorry you have so much trouble with computers. When you are learning something new don’t think about it as failing… you’re learning.
A easy way to get started is to do the Fall Ball. Here’s the link and you can get the stuff printed from us for this event.
