EP61: Building a Thriving Wellness Business When You're an Introvert Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

There are many coaches out there who are introverts. In fact, Kathleen did a poll in her facebook group and over 70% of people who responded considered themselves to be an introvert. Being an introvert can come with some unique challenges as far as how to build your business but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible!

Introverts tend to think they can’t compete with extroverts but that’s far from the truth. There are still huge advantages to being an introvert. This week Karen and Kathleen discuss being introverts themselves and how they run their businesses accordingly. Plus, there’s a blooper reel in this episode that you do not want to miss!
