Being an introvert in online business is magical!

And I know so many of our clients and listeners are introverts so today I am chatting to Tahryn Bolt about how you can share your magic and lead your team as an introvert.

Tahryn is the Biz Wizard behind The Social Bolt. She's a content wizard, a launch wizard AND a biz wizard (business coach for the muggles) - which makes her a tri-wizard aka a triple threat.

As a raging introvert she knows the secret to business success is to embrace your unique blend of magic and do business in a way that works for YOU.

She supports her clients to grow profitable and sustainable businesses and call in Beyonce level clients on repeat using the magic of strategy, content and launching and has built a 6-figure business based around the things she loves and being authentic AF in the process.

It is incredibly easy to assign blame to a team member.

But something I often to talk to business owners about, when they have had a negative team relationship in the past is about having a critical look at their place, as the business owner and leader in the relationship.

Understandably it is much easier to critically look at other peoples performance, outcomes and their part in the relationship than it is to dive into where we as the leader may have missed the mark on setting our team up for success.

Today I'm talking about the 4 most common unrealistic expectations I see in the online service provider space and the consequences to the work outcomes and your business of them.
