Recommendation

Gary Vaynerchuk’s fun, educational Internet posts featuring exuberant online presentations turned his family’s wine store into a huge commercial success. But is his extreme extroversion the only viable blueprint for entrepreneurial success? Extreme introvert and business owner Morra Aarons-Mele says no. She teaches introverts how to transform their anxiety into a powerful business asset. She offers strategies that can help an introvert work through a business day successfully. She refers to these techniques under the rubric of “hiding in the bathroom,” and advises that a little hiding can help introverts engage with the world and interact without anxiety. getAbstract recommends Aarons-Mele’s thoughtful approach to introverts hiding in bathrooms everywhere. You can come out now.

Take-Aways

  • Many believe that to succeed businesspeople must be extroverted, hard-charging movers and shakers who seldom sleep.
  • However, the extrovert’s playbook can be counterproductive in business.
  • Introverts can thrive in business, even though they dislike social settings and big crowds and prefer to be alone.
