And Just to Make It Worse, I’m a Type B!

As if being an introvert wasn’t bad enough in the world of business, let’s pile on another so-called "flaw": I’m a Type B personality.

That’s right. I’m not the hyper-organized, always-hustling, schedule-every-minute kind of entrepreneur. I don’t wake up with a 37-step morning routine, attack the day like a corporate warrior, or measure my worth by how "busy" I am.

But… Isn’t That Bad for Business?

We’ve all been sold the idea that success belongs to the Type A crowd: the high-strung, ultra-driven, hyper-competitive people who live and breathe productivity hacks.

Meanwhile, Type B’s (like me) are supposedly too chill for business. Too relaxed. Not aggressive enough. And yet… here I am, running a business, coaching entrepreneurs, and making it work without the stress-fueled urgency of a Wall Street trader.

Why Type B Entrepreneurs Win Too

If you’re a fellow Type B, here’s some good news: you don’t have to force yourself into a Type A mold to succeed. You just have to leverage what makes you you.

We play the long game. While Type A’s chase instant results, Type B’s focus on sustainable success. We don’t burn out trying to win today—we build businesses that last.

We stay flexible. Type A’s love rigid structures. Type Bs consider plans and structures about as rigid as a bowl of Jello. Type B's adapt. When things go sideways (which they will in business), we pivot without having an existential crisis.

We’re easy to work with. No one likes a boss or business partner who treats everything like a life-or-death competition. Type B’s bring a level-headed, low-stress approach that keeps teams and clients happy.

Success Isn’t About Personality—It’s About Strategy and Action

Here’s the truth: success isn’t reserved for a specific type of person. It’s not about being an extrovert, a Type A, or some coffee-fueled productivity machine. It’s about knowing your strengths, acting on them, and refusing to believe that being different is a disadvantage.

So yeah, I’m an introverted Type B entrepreneur. And somehow, I’m still making it work.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too laid-back” for business, think again. You might be exactly what the business world needs.

Thinking about starting your own business but worried you're "not the right type"? Don’t hesitate to reach out and let’s talk.
