Starting my podcast, showing up on LinkedIn, having so much content that I haven’t even published all of it yet… These are all big because the introvert in me says “We don’t need to do any of this, life is good” - But life is better because of this.
Plant archetypes, friendship reels, and titles like “I don't want to go clubbing but I still want friends”… These are iconic, especially for my long time followers
If Cheryl approves of someone, this is automatically someone I want to get to know. Whether we become close or not, it doesn’t matter. If Cheryl has vetted them, they’re a wholesome person. I’ve went to weddings, traveled overseas to see friends, and created life long friendships because of Cheryl’s network.
Before we worked together, I didn’t have the courage to pursue the business I really wanted to start: an online coaching business. I was dancing around it and considering options that seemed safer to me: cute plant stickers, digital products, branding and graphic design services, but all of those were vague interests and more money-motivated. They could make an impact, but none of them felt like my own way of helping others
I didn’t think I had enough time, skills, and heart to start and run a business from scratch.
Looking around, the entrepreneurs I met seemed so stressed. If I was going to start a business, I wanted it to add to my life, not take away from it. Based on what I saw around me, I sincerely thought that I would have to burn myself out to build a successful business, that I would have to sacrifice my health and joy in the short-term to earn freedom in the long-term, and that I would be saying that I wasn’t taking anything seriously if I was trying to do multiple things at once: a full life, a powerhouse career, and an impactful business. Cheryl showed me another way.
I am a life coach for introverts now! I help introverts lead stable and joyful lives by accepting and leveraging their natural strengths. By showing up as their truest selves, they can take root in an extroverted world… by showing up as my truest self, I am helping and serving my fellow introverts. That is amazing. Wow. Mind-blowing.
Literally one month into starting my business, it turned into a global business. I am based in California while my community is all over the world. My first client is based in Europe!
Working with Cheryl, I really built up my self-trust. I took my self-acceptance to another level. She also helped me redefine success and consistency in business so that they work for me.
The thing that ties everything together - business and life - is that I am a thought leader! I know what I stand for, and I took a lot of action like showing up on stories, making friends, working on my mindset, and developing my coach brain to bring that out. People around me have seen and felt the change. I share my thoughts - ideas, opinions, and stories - with so much conviction now. I went from not knowing what to say to always having something to say.
In my career, I was more empowered to make bigger asks for things that I initially didn’t think I had put in enough years or paid enough dues yet to deserve. Although I made an active decision to slow down in my career to make space for my business, I was actually promoted and given a generous raise at work while building my business.
Things get to be simple. As I grew that belief, it also helped other areas of my life. I used to feel like any decision I made in my business would say something about me and keep me fixed, but that’s not true. Because I have a direction I’m heading towards instead of an end-goal or single project, this business is going to grow with me.
Showing up online comfortably and confidently! Even on video! Before, I wanted every video to be a perfect masterpiece. I couldn’t stand seeing or hearing myself.
Since meeting online in 2021, Jennifer and I have meet in-person a few times in different countries. The thing I love most about our connection is that we understand each other’s energy levels and we can tell how the other person’s social battery is doing. I can’t quite explain it, but we’re able to communicate out introvert-related needs with each other without even speaking a single word.
SOUNDS GOOD? AWESOME. LET'S GET TO WORK
