Hope that helps! David Portney The Gordian Knot is an apt metaphor for the inaction that is common, well, for all of us at one time or another – one of the things I find helpful and I’ve developed into a kind of “matra” to take action is “don’t decide for the customer” – so that 3rd cold call or that next speaking gig I start to question the value of, I say to myself – “just do this, don’t decide for the customer, let them decide… now do it!”

Hope that helps!

I cured myself by getting a part-time job in the winter that forced me to speak publicly to new audiences throughout the day. Slowing down and organizing your thoughts helped for me. Then practice, practice, practice. I used to be afraid of public speaking too.

]]> Comment on About Us by Jon Wuebben http://marketing4introverts.wordpress.com/about/#comment-7 Jon Wuebben Sat, 10 Jan 2009 17:59:58 +0000 #comment-7 Dhyan, Thank you so much for buying my book and for blogging about my observation on the introverted personality! It was really nice to see that my commentary resonated with you, I hope others got that too. As a introverted but driven person, I have always struggled in corporate America - I wanted to get to the top and hold an influential position, but I always felt a certain level of discrimination by the more outgoing people. With my own online business, its been like magic to see the difference, so I wanted to bring it up in the book for the benefit of others like me who may have felt the same. Again, many thanks..hope you enjoyed the book. - Jon Wuebben Dhyan,

]]> Comment on Tendencies to Procrastinate! by webbgrafix http://marketing4introverts.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/tendencies-to-procrastinate/#comment-2 webbgrafix Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:11:53 +0000 http://marketing4introverts.wordpress.com/?p=29#comment-2 This is so true. I do this every morning. I own my own Design business and run it from my home. I get to my desk every morning between 8 am and 9 am. I market, advertise, return emails, send emails, and make new business contacts and associates from the time I finally get to my desk until about noon. Then from noon on for the rest of the day I work on anything that needs to get done. It is so much easier to not market, find excuses not to, or get distracted. I am a huge procrastinator. I do find myself fighting my own mind to get to work. Oh...the pitfalls of not having a boss to tell me to get back to work...
