Are You An Introverted Entrepreneur? And Why Should You Care?

Articles

Well, are you an introverted entrepreneur? I’m curious!

We’re not talking shy vs out-going here. We’re talking in the Carl Jung sense, about where you get your energy from.

  • Are you a social butterfly who loves nothing more at the end of the day than to go out with a group of friends?
  • Or do you value your battery-recharging quiet time, with a good book or a few loved-ones, to help you relax and unwind?
  • Or a bit of both?

Why Should You Care?

Because depending on your preference (and neuroscientists have shown it’s hard-wired in your brain), you need to take different approaches to running your business. You’ll have different strengths and face different challenges. And if you’re ‘somewhere in between’ you get the best – and hardest – of both worlds.

Being an introverted entrepreneur can make ‘standard’ business strategy really hard work. But it can have its benefits, too.

If you keep running your business – doing your best – but not knowing whether you’re an introverted entrepreneur or extroverted entrepreneur, you’re likely to get hit-and-miss results.

Want To Find Out Which One You Are?

I’ve created a quick quiz for you – based on psychology and neuroscience – that means you’re just 11 questions away from finding out the truth.

Plus, if you do turn out to be an introverted entrepreneur, there’s a bonus video for you on 3 hidden strengths you might not realise you have – and how you can use them to grow your business.

Want To Take The Quiz?

If you find it useful, please share it with any business friends who might enjoy it, too.

And make sure you pop by the Dare To Dream Bigger Facebook group, to let me know your results – and whether you learn anything from the video.

With love, Namaste,

5Minute.Biz: Isn’t It Time To Invest In Yourself, To Grow Your Biz? And It Doesn’t Have To Cost A Penny

5MinuteBiz

Happy New Year! This week in our 5Minute.Biz video I want to talk to you about investing in yourself. You see, we’re great at investing in our businesses – whether it’s buying paperclips or software or any of the other myriad of costs.

But given that business success is about 20% based on what you do, but 80% based on your attitude, investing in that inside work actually gives you by far the best return. Yet so few of us bother.

So today I’m letting you in on the secret of why it’s going to take more than those super-popular glitzy journals and workbooks to create the year you’re dreaming of in 2016. And – as you’d expect – I’m spilling the beans on what the missing link is, so you can get the coming year off to an amazing start.

Here’s where to watch the video and make sure you’re not making the mistake that almost everyone else will be making with their 2016 biz goals:

Tweetables:

Want To Fast-Track Your Success?

One of the best ways to grow your business is to focus on gratitude for what you have already created, rather than what’s missing.

And if you’d like a helping hand, you could either get yourself a copy of my best-selling gratitude journal – A Year Full Of Gratitude – or grab yourself a place on my much-loved 21 day online gratitude course: Getting Started With Gratitude (some people have loved this so much they have taken the course 3 times already!).

Dare To Dream Bigger Summit

Here’s the inspirational summit I mention in the video. For those of you who grab tickets now, there’s still a zero-cost option, as well as a crazily-low-priced super earlybird VIP upgrade.

And Finally…

  • How did today’s video help you? Any lightbulbs? Can you see how you might subconsciously sabotage your 2016 goals? And what are you going to do about it? Are you ready to invest in shifting those blocks?
  • And I’d love to know – via the comments – what’s your Big Vision for 2016? What would you love to create?

I’d love to hear from you via the comments!

If you’d love a quick reminder in your inbox to let you know when the next edition of 5Minute.Biz is out, make sure you register here – and you’ll get member-only bonuses and invitation-only membership of our private Facebook group 5 Minute Biz VIP, too. 

See you next time when I’ll be talking about the incredible importance of curiosity in your business – and how a single question took me on a 25 year journey.

With love, Namaste,

P.S. Remember: if you’re REALLY ready to dream – and create – bigger this year, then how about booking a VIP block-clearing day with me? Here’s where to apply: www.ClareJosa.com/vip-day/

5Minute.Biz: Is Scrimping And Saving Secretly Trashing Your Business?

5MinuteBiz

So we all work hard on our businesses. And we all want to be successful. But I’m curious – there’s a trap that too many of us are falling into that could be trashing your chances of success.

If you’ve got an eye for a bargain, then this one could be affecting you.

Today I’m sharing some wisdom from a dear friend of mine whose wise words could stop you from making that mistake in 2016 – and beyond.

And all it takes is a shift of attitude:

So I’m curious:

  • Have you been falling into this trap?
  • Do you recognise it in your business or your wider life?
  • What is it that might be lying underneath – triggering this behaviour?
  • And which commitment to your business future might you be making today?I’d love to hear from you via the comments!

See you next time when I’ll be spilling the beans on the number one thing you need to do when you’re creating or selling a product or service, yet most business owners aren’t doing it.

With love, Namaste,

CJ Sig

What My Most Embarrassing Skype Call EVER Taught Me About Business Breakthroughs

5MinuteBiz

In this week’s #5MinuteBiz session I’m sharing with you what my most embarrassing Skype call EVER taught me about growing my business. It was one of the keys to an absolute breakthrough, and I’m guessing it might help you, too.

So has this resonated for you today?

Is there anywhere in your personal life or business life where being more authentic is something you need to give yourself permission to do? And how might you get started with this?

I’d love to hear from you via the comments.

And I’m feeling super-excited! Are you coming to the next 5Minute.Biz Masterclass? It’s on How To Stop Hiding From Your Business – a modern epidemic that could be trashing your biz.
Want to join me? Here’s where to grab your place – as my gift: >>> www.ClareJosa.com/Hiding <<<

It builds on what we’re talking about in today’s 5Minute.Biz message and takes it to the next level.

 

See you next time when I’ll be spilling the beans on the most under-rated word in your business vocabulary – and how it could turn your world around.

 

With love, Namaste,

CJ Sig
