The beauty of starting your own business is that you can build it on your terms around a lifestyle that you design. But trying to build a business with strategies made for extroverts is a recipe for burnout.

This is the podcast built for service providers who are introverts and struggle with online marketing, mindset issues, and dealing with clients. I’ve been an online entrepreneur since 2007 and love helping introverts discover stress-free ways to build a successful business.

Each weekly episode will be full of actionable advice for using marketing strategies that are effective-like Pinterest, and email marketing, as well as creative ways to engage on Instagram and Facebook. These strategies will allow you to connect with clients and never make you wonder if you should just return to your old 9-5.

    Overcoming Fear of Success as an Entrepreneur with Giorgia G

    Finding that you’re busy all day, every day, but don’t really seem to be getting anything important done or hitting your goals yet? Well, there’s a chance you could actually be self-sabotaging. Today’s podcast guest realized she had an underlying fear of success which meant she spent all day caught up in the busywork and never tackling the things that would help her grow. After working through a plan she created to approach this belief, she doubled her revenue in three months. That guest is Giorgia G, a transformational coach, leadership trainer, podcaster, and author. 8 years ago, she packed all her belongings in a tiny pink trolley, booked a one way ticket to London, and off she went to build her coaching business. Since then, she went on to work with 100+ 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs, business leaders, CEOs, and even award-winning comedians to help them reach their next level of success, double their income, and sell out their programmes - without hustling.
     
    In this episode, we’ll dive into:
    Why being afraid of not fitting in with others holds us back The reason negative comments affect us much more than positive ones Acknowledging what you’re avoiding and why you need to face it How to celebrate your wins to encourage a positive mindset

Valuable and relatable!

I appreciate how open with the entrepreneurial struggle she is. Very useful advice on many different biz perspectives. I always add the new eps to my queue as soon as I see them, and am working my way through all the older episodes now!

5 stars and a 👍🏻

As an introvert and business owner I relate to Tara and find something helpful in each episode! I so appreciate another introvert sharing experiences and giving the rest of us guidance.

If you’re an introverted entrepreneur - take a listen! You’ll learn something about yourself and your introverted clients!

Thanks, Tara!

Great podcast for introvert business owners

As an introvert it’s sometimes hard to find training that takes into account energy management, etc.

I just found Tara and am enjoying her podcast so far. My favorite episodes are her solo episodes where she shares what’s working for her or changes she plans to make. It gives me ideas for my own business.

Thanks Tara!
