When you entrepreneurs ask me if they can make it despite severe shyness…answer is hell YA!
I’ve worked with highly introverted entrepreneurs who are killing it.
Here’s WHY!
1. Strong Passion
Introverted or shy people are manically passionate about a few things in their lives.
Susan Cain, author of Quiet Power, supports this – “…they will go out and build alliances and networks and acquire expertise and do whatever it takes to make it happen.
2.Creation vs Glory
Introverts or shy people spend ALL of their time on how to grow their business
They can learn to amplify the message of the company without needing the personal reinforcement of personal ego
3.Listen & Learn
So much of building an early-stage company is truly listening and hearing your market.
Shy or introverted people tend to be great listeners and have greater levels of empathy.
This speeds up product and marketing success.
4.They Lead
The combination of listening, awareness, empathy and sympathy…
Allows shy or introverted people to get the MOST out of their network and co-workers.
This is ESPECIALLY important in the beginning when resources are tight.
5.Great Communicators
In the right situation, where they 100% believe in the product or service…
Introverts and shy people come out of their shell when you KNOW what they have will help other people.
They tend to be more relatable, trustworthy, credible and influential
Many of the customers that join us over at 30 Day Product Profit Formula are set free when we move them toward packaging their own products and show them the ropes on how they can use their “hidden” talent of shyness as a SUPERPOWER to differentiate themselves in the market.
If you tend toward shyness or being introverted, don’t let that STOP you…it could be your secret weapon.
