Do you ever feel like you need to be an extrovert to succeed in the business world?

When I started out, I had a belief that, if I weren’t as loud and energetic as Tony Robbins, no clients would want to work with me.

That belief got me in a double bind: if I showed up as energetic and loud, people could feel the fakery; if I showed up as myself, I didn’t feel confident to get results (and that’s what I manifested!).

“I think so many introverts are not given the choice to be themselves.”
