7 posts | 3 read | 13 to read
A practical guide to help introverts harness their natural gifts and entrepreneurial spirit Think you have to be loud and brash to be successful in business? Think again. The strengths and traits of the typical introvert lend themselves well to entrepreneurship, as well as intrapreneurship and a range of business roles. In The Introvert Entrepreneur, professional coach Beth Buelow shows readers how to harness their natural gifts (including curiosity, independence, and a love of research) and counteract their challenges (such as an aversion to networking and self-promotion). She addresses a wide range of topics --from managing fears and expectations and developing a growth mindset to networking, marketing, leadership skills, and community-building--informed by interviews with introverts who have created successful businesses without compromising their core personality. Filled with fresh insights and actionable advice, this essential guide will support anyone whos striving to make a difference in a loud and chaotic world. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Pickpick

Overall, a great book for the tentative introvert who needs encouragement to strike out on their own.

For those who are older, or have already figured out how to work around the complication of being an introvert in an extrovert's world, a lot of the content is what we already know. I think the audience for this book is geared for the unsure or younger crowd who haven't yet found their sweet spot of confidence in independent solitude.

An apt shout-out for #Monday. I just started reading this morning so I have no opinions yet on the value of the book. Half of these sorts of things are distractions from the actual work of making the change you want to see happen. Still, I'll be reading up to the very last minute before I have to clock in for the day. 😜

(I haven't read the tagged book but the title piqued my curiosity... Thanks #Litsy for the new TBR!)

I like books that make me nod my head and say "Yep, this is me!" ?I'm also interested in how different people take in and process information.?

QueenAnne Added to stack! Sounds like a must read ☺️☺️📚 7y

#FierceFeb #9to5 Going to non-fiction for this prompt with the latest business/self-help book I loaded on my Kindle but have not read yet. Freelance consulting is never 9 to 5 but part of my workdays often has to be generating new clients & business, something the introvert in me doesn't love. (Networking, selling myself...ugh, ugh, ugh!) 😱Even though I am told I come across as confident, inside it's not so much so I'm hoping for useable tips.

batsy I do freelance copywriting and as an introvert, you're right, the networking is the worst part 😓 I might have to check this out! 7y
Reggie Hey, sometimes you have to fake it. One time I was dating a guy who was a bit above me. And when we were out I really had to steel myself against my insecurities. Nobody roots for the person who doesn‘t root for themselves. So good job fake extroverting the hell out of yourself!!! 7y
Zelma Looking forward to seeing what you think of this one. I need major help in this area. 7y

Cinfhen You come across as very confident and in control, Deb!!! And super personable ?but I get it's scary putting yourself "out there" 7y
DebinHawaii @batsy @Zelma I will let you know what I think. I'm going to try to fit it in this month. 📚👍 @Reggie I have gotten good at the faking it! 😆👍 @Cinfhen Thank you! 💜 I can do it all pretty comfortably except when it comes to the hard selling of myself--just not my favorite thing at all.😬 7y
LitsyOwl Yep. Me too. Yep. 😶 7y
