 Great Jobs for Introverts


Not everyone is built to be the life of the party and the constant center of attention. But introverts do have some distinct advantages. For instance, if you’re an introvert, you are independent, low-maintenance, shrewd, creative and a great listener with a unique ability to focus on the task at hand.


Those qualities can make introverts excellent workers, but only if they are in the right jobs and given the space they need to reflect and work in private. If you lean toward introversion, here are 15 potential jobs for you.


1. Craft and fine artist



Consider becoming a craft and fine artist if you have a creative eye and artistic talent. You can make pottery, glassware, textiles and more and earn a profit while doing so. This industry is good for independent, imaginative individuals who are willing to share their craft.


2. Photographer




Introverts often view the world differently from others. Their unique perspective can make for great photography, allowing others to see things from all angles. As a photographer, you can work independently or for a larger corporation – e.g., as a freelance photographer or real estate photojournalist.

3. Author




Introverts tend to crave solitude and quiet, meaning they seek opportunities to be alone with their thoughts. This bodes well for authors, whose imaginations are their gateways to success. Channel those thoughts to create a unique story that you can either publish traditionally (through an agent and/or publisher) or self-publish.

4. Motorcycle mechanic




If you’ve ever read Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, you know the peace of mind that can overcome you when you set your mind to such a task. It’s particularly appealing if you like working with your hands. And you could potentially just open up your own shop if finding work proves difficult. Mechanics and technicians usually need to complete a program at a postsecondary school, but that doesn’t necessarily mean college. Once hired, you’ll likely be required to acquire an industry certification.

Successful entrepreneurs whose ventures began in living rooms and garages


Successful entrepreneurs whose ventures began in living rooms and garages
“In order to accomplish anything in life you must risk failing completely and spectacularly”

The rags-to-riches stories are always the ones that inspire us as humans the most, yet in the shadows of every successful venture is one that failed.

From a poor product offering to investing in the wrong team members, there are countless reasons why 20 per cent of businesses fail in their first year and 60 per cent within the first three years of launching.

While every business founder has their own set of opinions as to what underpins their success, timing paired with a steadfast approach are often underrated factors to take into account.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking that because you don’t have financial resources or a suitable office your corporate days will likely last a lifetime, think again. Many of the world’s strongest trailblazers began their ventures in derelict garages that did not match their founder’s grander vision and ambition.

Let these stories be a reminder of the value in resourcefulness and purpose when considering any business venture.👇

Alibaba


Alibaba


If anyone knows rejection it’s China’s wealthiest individual and role model for budding entrepreneurs Jack Ma – the Founder of ecommerce empire Alibaba. He allegedly failed repeatedly to land a job after university and his initial ventures failed.

So how did Ma manage to overcome these setbacks?

“Well, I think we have to get used to it. We’re not that good,” he says.

After his visit to the US in 1995 to work on a government project, Ma returned to China with a mission: to see Chinese citizens using the internet, as he had discovered the World Wide Web for the first time.

At the age of 31 Ma didn’t have any coding or sales experience and gaining trust from the Chinese to embrace online payments was initially a struggle, but what he did have were allies whom he persuaded to help fund and join him on his startup journey.

“In 1999, I gathered 18 people in my apartment and spoke to them for two hours about my vision. Everyone put their money on the table, and that got us US$60,000 to start Alibaba,” he explains.

Referring to himself as a ‘blind man riding on the back of a blind tiger’, Ma decided not to follow someone else’s business model and to focus on quality products that customers could obtain at the click of a button.

However, while it’s easy to assume that Alibaba was always a success, there were many struggles along the way, one being that the company grew too fast and the other the question of how to make a profit from free memberships.

“When you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength,” Ma shares.

Google


Google

During their first meeting at Stanford University Larry Page and Sergey Brin reportedly didn’t agree on much. However, a year later the two students began building a search engine in their dorm rooms that they called BackRub, which was eventually renamed Google.

Page designed a system that could detect the linking behaviour of pages, which could then be ranked using the PageRank algorithm that the duo created themselves.

Google (a name inspired by a mathematical term) was first launched on Stanford’s private network before entrepreneur and investor Andy Bechtolsheim wrote Brin and Page a US$100,000 check, which led to an office upgrade; a garage in suburban California owned by YouTube’s CEO Susan Wojcicki.

Wojcicki, who was a student and a homeowner at the time, rented out her garage to the Google Co-Founders, resulting in a win–win situation for both parties.

By the early 2000s the company’s more than 1,000-person workforce relocated to the famous Googleplex headquarters in California’s Mountain View from where it continues to deliver products that are used by billions of people around the globe.

Steve Jobs


Steve Jobs:


Steve Jobs has been known as an iconic figure for the establishment of Apple like the biggest company. However, it is extremely shocking to know that the $2 billion company with over 4000 employees has been started with only two persons in a garage. It is also to be noticed that this great establisher has been dismissed and fired from the company from which he has started his career. Further, realizing his potential and capabilities, Steve Jobs proceeded further towards establishing this biggest company which is famously known as ‘Apple’.

Walt Disney


Walt Disney


Walt Disney has been known as one of the famous cartoonist and creator of famous cartoon creatures such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, etc to name a few. He even failed several times in his life. His unsuccessful attempt to join armed forces finally forced him to drop out of the schools and leave his further studies. His initiative Laugh-O-Gram Studios even went bankrupt and finally, after joining a newspaper agency named Missouri Newspaper, he was fired because of not being creative enough as per the expectations.

Albert Einstein


Albert Einstein


 Albert Einstein is a well-known scientist and extraordinary genius personality known by almost all of us all over the world due to his great inventions and contributions towards science. He quoted that success is a failure in progress and someone who has never failed cannot truly be a successful person. During childhood, he suffered from continuous failures. He was not even able to speak fluently till the age of nine years following which he has been expelled from the school. Furthermore, his admission to Zurich Polytechnic School was also not considered. But, leading to the ways of success consistently, he proved himself as a renowned gem in the ocean of science and technology and finally won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.

Think Again


Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In our daily lives, too many of us favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt. We listen to opinions that make us feel good, instead of ideas that make us think hard. We see disagreement as a threat to our egos, rather than an opportunity to learn. We surround ourselves with people who agree with our conclusions, when we should be gravitating toward those who challenge our thought process. The result is that our beliefs get brittle long before our bones. We think too much like preachers defending our sacred beliefs, prosecutors proving the other side wrong, and politicians campaigning for approval--and too little like scientists searching for truth. Intelligence is no cure, and it can even be a curse: being good at thinking can make us worse at rethinking.

10 Tips on GETTING STARTED



10 Tips on GETTING STARTED 💡 
1) You only need ONE thing to get started. One smile can start a friendship. One hand can lift a soul. One candle can wipe out darkness. One word, one child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Be that ONE.

2) You don’t have to be smarter than the rest. You just need to be more disciplined than the rest and get started.  

3) Conquer yourself. Your success or failure in life or at work isn’t about other people. It’s your procrastination and excuses. Success happens when you grow yourself, not outgrow others. Winners focus on winning. Losers focus on winners.

4) Nothing changes if nothing changes. When you change how you see things, both you and the things you see change.  You see the world what you carry in your heart.

5) Every teacher once was a student. Every winner once was a loser. Every expert once was a beginner. Small steps taken every day leads you to your success.

6) Perseverance is the multiplier of Talent and Potential. Success is not about who has more talent, but who is hungrier. A river cuts through a rock not because of its power, but its persistence. You can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, persistence, and the courage to face your fears.

7) Stress comes from ignoring things that you should not be ignoring. Break down the task and start small. A journey of 1000 miles start with one step. Don't wait to be in the mood to do a certain task. Motivation follows action. Get started, and you'll find your motivation will follows. Don't worry about the darkness when you take that first step, for that is when the stars shine brightest.

8)You can become a person of value in a matter of months. Every mountain top is within your reach if you keep climbing. If you aren’t winning, you must be learning.

9) Once you start, no matter how long you have travelled in the wrong direction, you can always turn around. When you can’t change a situation, change yourself. Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.

10) Risk is better than regret. Take that first step. The biggest risk is not getting started. If you want something you’ve never had, then you must do something you’ve never done. 

Don’t procrastinate. Take that first step.

THE 8 BEST BUSINESS BOOKS OF ALL TIME?


THE 8 BEST BUSINESS BOOKS OF ALL TIME? HERE ARE THE LESSONS YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Every year, scores of new business books are published and read by millions of people. But with so many titles to choose from, which ones should you prioritize?

I recently read eight of what many regard the best business books of all time. These are the books that have all stood the test of time — they've made the New York Times best-sellers list and have been recommended over and over again by critics and the world's most successful business leaders. Some of them may even be sitting on your parents' nightstand.

1. "Think and Grow Rich," by Napolean Hill
Key takeaway: You can achieve anything you conceive and believe.

Thoughts are things — and they are incredibly powerful. Focus on what you want to achieve and strengthen your resolve by having what Hill calls a "definiteness of purpose." It's also essential that you persist in the face of obstacles that are bound to impede your growth along the way.

2. "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," by Robert Kiyosaki
Key takeaway: Know the difference between an asset and a liability.

There's a reason the rich get richer: They understand the vital yet often misunderstood difference between assets and liabilities. An asset puts money in your pocket. A liability takes money out of your pocket. In order to get rich, you must buy assets and leverage the income generated from them to buy luxuries and fund your lifestyle.

3. "The E-Myth," by Michael Gerber
Key takeaway: Work on your business rather than in your business.

"I understand the technical work of a business, therefore, I understand a business that does that technical work." This is a costly assumption new entrepreneurs make. Understand that everybody who goes into business has three identities: An entrepreneur, a manager and a technician. You need all three to build a company that can thrive without you.

4. "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing," by Al Ries and Jack Trout
Key takeaway: Marketing is a battle of perceptions, not products.

You always want to be the "first." And in today's competitive online landscape, a "me-too" copycat has little chance of getting into the prospect's mind once another company has gotten there first. Not every first is going to be successful, though. If you don't get into the prospect's mind first, create a new category you can be first in, instead. It worked for Dominos and it can work for you, too.

5. "How to Win Friends & Influence People," by Dale Carnegie
Key takeaway: Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.

This book is just as important for today's digital age as it was when it was first published in 1936. There are innumerable takeaways from Carnegie's classic best-seller, but the most important one is that you can't go wrong with smiling, becoming a good listener and of course, making others feel important.

6. "The Hard Thing About Hard Things," by Ben Horowitz
Key takeaway: "Embrace your weirdness, your background, your instinct. If the keys are not there, they do not exist."

"The hard thing about hard things," writes Horowitz, is that "there is no formula for dealing with them" — and he's absolutely right. While many business books tend to prescribe solutions to challenges that aren't really challenges at all, few, if any, tell it like it really is, which is that there is no one-size solution.

7. "Blue Ocean Strategy," by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne
Key takeaway: Avoid trying to beat competitors. Instead, focus on making them irrelevant by creating a leap in value for buyers and your company.

Most markets are red oceans. They're full of blood because all the sharks feed on the same small pool of fish. Over time, submarkets developed as a reaction to those red markets. In order to differentiate yourself from competitors, you must create a blue ocean for yourself, an opportunity people can't wait to dive into.

8. "Shoe Dog," by Phil Knight
Key takeaway: Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.

On Bill Gates' list of must-reads and penned by Phil Knight, the notoriously shy Nike co-founder, "Shoe Dog" offers a rare and revealing glimpse into a man who borrowed $50 from his father to launch a company that, today, is globally recognized and generates $50 billion dollars annually.
