From the book The Introvert Entrepreneur

Turn weaknesses into strengths to become successful introverts.

There are many executives in the organization who like subordinates who are good at speaking and present.

These people tend to grow fast in the organization because the elders like it.

Ordinary people who are good at speaking, good at present, are often people who are regarded as talented people, successful people. famous

It has become one of the values in society that you must have an "extrovert" personality and habits, which are good at speaking, good at present, and constantly going out to social events, talking to a lot of people, and knowing a lot of people to be successful in both work and business.

Trouble comes to "introvert" people who have to be reluctant. Do things you don't want to do, such as learning to speak well, learn to promote yourself, force yourself to socialize.

Because they will be labeled as "introverts", "highly private", "lacking confidence", and are seen as unsuccessful and not very good.

The Introvert Entrepreneur

But these understandings are only one side of the view.
Introverts are no less talented and successful than extroverts.
Let's give an example of an introvert in a variety of industries.

1. Business and Technology such as
- Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page (founder of Google),
- Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), Elon Musk,
- Sundar Pichai (CEO of Google), Satya Nadella (CEO of Microsoft), Tim Cook (CEO of Apple)


2. Political circles such as
- Barack Obama, Al Gore, Hilary Clinton, Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi

3. Writer Like J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter.

4. Athlete Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods.

Reading this, many people may wonder if people like Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are really introverts because they are both very good politicians.

Both of them have been introverts since birth until they grow up.

His personal character is that he is introverted and does not have a relationship with anyone. I don't like to go out to parties and I don't like to be in a place with a lot of people.

Like the founder and CEO of a tech giant like FAANG, he is not a person who likes to talk, like to express himself, and likes to promote himself.

But he is a quiet, discreet and deep person who likes to listen.

With the role of a leader, everyone can go on stage to give important keynotes. You can talk and sell things. You can negotiate business and do well with it.

You see, introverts can be both world-class politicians, senior executives of giant companies, and writers. Talented and world-renowned athletes.

How do these people do it?...

First of all, you need to know that The strengths of introverts are:

• Have a deep focus and understanding of something.
• They have a higher ability to listen and understand than extroverts because they listen more than they speak.
• Think a lot before you say anything.
• I like to write more than speak (who is the same, the mobile pro has 600 minutes a month, but it takes ten minutes. The main communication is the line and whatever is written).
• Even though I'm not good at networking, I know who to talk to. How to approach to get what you want?
• Have high research skills. Make a report Research This is especially good.
• Be calm and calm in difficult situations.
• I don't have many friends, but I am deeply close.

These qualities are all strengths of introverted people that are different from extroverts.

If you have practiced some more important skills to be stronger...

Definitely bang.

Finding Your Voice for Introverts and Extroverts

Before you start practicing the skills that introverts need to succeed in business, it's important to start thinking about these important things.

Finding value or what we value,
Purpose (the purpose of doing it, why we do it, what we do it for),
Goal and
Vision

These 4 tools are used to find a business that is consistent and suitable for our identity.

The key skills to help increase your chances of success are:

• Must be good at networking.
• Self-promotion
• Good collaboration
• These 3 skills are important skills that are necessary and introverts are not very good at these skills.
  
  But it is inevitable. If you want to succeed,
  
  The question is, how do you manage and how do you develop these three skills?
  
  The methods used to build the 3 skills are:
• Energy Management
• Role Management and
• Activity Planning
  
  We will go one story at a time.

Self-Promotion

It is very important to Let the world know what we do. Why did you do this, and what are your goals? Before people subsidize our products and services. Invest in the company or ourselves. People must trust and trust. And they will know our products and services from us promoting and talking about them, but introverts are often shy to say and promote something about themselves. The most important tool is the use of social media. Whether it's a website, a blog that writes statuses on Facebook, practice writing well, learn to tell a variety of stories to be used as an important weapon in doing business.

Networking

Going to networking events is boring and scary for many introverts (myself included).

Because of our nature, we don't like to be possessed by anyone, and we don't know what to talk about. You have to force yourself to do something that introverts don't want to do, such as smiling and saying hello, talking to strangers, being the center of attention, etc.

And if we have to go to an event where we don't know anyone. We will be very awkward.

Interesting technique for introverts when they have to attend networking events. such as

• Set a time to relax and relax before the event starts, during the event, and after the event to recharge your energy from meeting people.
• Plan in advance, what to say to whom, and how to say it. If you meet a friend, if you meet an acquaintance. People we don't know but they know us, and strangers.
• Think about the various scenarios that will be encountered in the event, how to say in each situation.
• Expressing doubts and listening attentively to the interlocutor. Observe things in the event so that they can be used as conversations.
• What often happens at events is that introverts feel uncomfortable and tend to be haunted in a certain corner of the venue. What needs to be done is: Setting small goals to meet each person. For example, introducing ourselves and listening to who they are, and that's it, we will have a goal to discuss.

For those who want to continue the relationship, they may exchange business cards and send an email to them.
They may say that they have an idea or interesting story that they just came to mind after discussing it at the event, or they will send an interesting article that they think is useful and related to their work.

Energy Management

Whether it's marketing or finding business partners. It requires social skills, meetings, meeting people, and self-promotion, which is quite attractive to introverts.

Therefore, we need to plan our day well to recharge our batteries from power sucking activities.
Because introverts will lose their energy if they have to meet a lot of people.
But he will regain his power. When I was quiet and alone with myself for a while.

When you are almost out of power, find time to recharge, walk to make coffee, sit still for a while, or go for a walk outside the office for 10-15 minutes. For other activities.

Summary

Although successful people must be good at speaking, good at presenting, and good at socializing, which are the characteristics of extroverts.

But introverts can excel in these skills by practicing and using different specific techniques.

We don't have to force our feelings to try to be an extrovert, we just need to know how to use a method that works for us. In achieving the same goal,

That's all we can do to be introverts who are successful at work and in business.
