World Introvert Day just passed (it was on January 2nd), and I’ve discovered that a lot of coaches classify themselves as “introverts”.
I did a poll in my Facebook group recently, and something like half the coaches that answered said they’re introverts (and a lot were “ambiverts” – a mix of introvert and extrovert).
The thing I love about coaching is you can build a successful business regardless of where you fall on that spectrum.
The methods that I teach coaches to get clients can seem scary at first to introverts since they involve getting out into the marketplace, connecting with others, and creating/sharing content to get your message out into the world.
They place an emphasis on taking action, and not doing things like tinkering on websites or logos (which is really just busy work),
They mean that you have to get uncomfortable, and do things that you haven’t done before. As Tim Ferriss says: “A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have”
But in my experience, even introverted coaches come to enjoy doing these things. They get easier when they start getting clients and making sales from it … funny how that works!
People need your help, and they don’t care if you’re an introvert, extrovert, ambivert or alien.
And if you can help them, you’re being selfish by not getting out there and letting them know what you can do.
I’ve helped a lot of introvert coaches get results, and I’m opening up my first 10 Clients In 90 Days group program of the new year soon to help some more.
I’ve got just six spots open for it. Get the details here:
