I'm an introvert. And yes, I own a business.
Apparently, those two things aren't supposed to go together.
Business ownership involves networking, meetings, phone calls, building relationships, and putting yourself out there.
Meanwhile, my ideal Friday night involves staying home, spending time with my family, and not having to make small talk with anyone.
Don't get me wrong. I genuinely enjoy working with people. I love getting to know my clients, learning about their businesses, and helping them succeed.
But after a day filled with meetings and conversations?
My social battery is officially at 1%. 🔋
Here's something I've learned, though.
You don't have to be the loudest person in the room to build a successful business.
Sometimes being the person who listens, observes, asks thoughtful questions, and pays attention to the little things is just as valuable.
And while I may never be the person who walks into a networking event and introduces herself to 30 strangers...
I'll happily have a meaningful conversation with two or three.
Preferably somewhere quiet. With coffee.
Where are my fellow introverted business owners? Please tell me I'm not alone!
