Introverts definitely struggle with saying 'no' For years I said 'yes' to everything that came my way to build my writing agency ✏️ Now I'm trying really hard to keep control over my time. Time to free myself up for something bigger.

How to sell when you’re an introvert ✅ Write, write, write. ✅ Make one on one connections. ✅ Listen more than you talk. ✅ Ask questions and research the pain-points. ✅ Only spend 20% of your energy ‘selling’ so you don’t burn out. ✅ Go read a book when you’re done 👏

We're lead to believe that 'group work' and 'brainstorming' is the key to success. It's not. Trust yourself. If you need to work alone to get your project right, do it.

Socializing is an extreme sport for introverts. But it's also where some of the magic in life happens. Finding the right balance (with the right people) has usually been the key to my happiness.

I’ve been called ‘quiet’ my whole life. But I also wanted to build my own company. For a long time I didn’t think the two things were compatible. Last year I hit my dream revenue doing the thing I love most: writing. It’s not a multi-deca-unicorn but it feels like freedom.

As an introvert it’s the only way to get things done. ✔️ At least 4 hours of quiet, deep work. ✔️ One meeting per day, maximum.
