Believe It or Not, I'm an Introvert

Most people assume that being an entrepreneur, especially one who coaches, sells, and builds businesses, requires being an extrovert. Someone who thrives in crowds, loves networking events, and never runs out of things to say.

That’s not me. Believe it or not, I’m an introvert.

But You Talk to People All Day?!

Yep. And I’m good at it. But here’s the thing: being an introvert doesn’t mean being shy, socially awkward, or allergic to human interaction. It means that socializing drains my energy rather than recharges it. While extroverts might leave a meeting buzzing with energy, I need a quiet break to reset.

The key difference?

Extroverts seek social interactions to feel alive.

Introverts manage social interactions so they don’t burn out.

Introverts Make Great Entrepreneurs

There’s a myth that successful business owners need to be loud, constantly selling, and always "on." But some of the best entrepreneurs are introverts. Here’s why:

We listen more than we talk. Sales isn’t about who talks the most. it’s about understanding what people need. Introverts excel at that.

We think before we act. Ever met someone who just says whatever comes to mind? That’s not us. We take time to process, which makes for smarter business decisions.

We thrive in deep work. Running a business isn’t just about networking and sales calls. It’s also about strategy, planning, and execution… all things introverts do exceptionally well.

Business Success Isn’t About Personality Type

I know plenty of outgoing, talkative people who struggle in business because they focus on talking instead of solving problems. And I know plenty of quiet, analytical folks making six figures because they’ve learned how to position themselves.

The real secret to success? Learning to work with your strengths, not against them.

If you’re an introvert thinking about starting a business, don’t count yourself out. You don’t need to be the loudest in the room, you just need to be the most strategic.
