The ‘Introvert Biz Growth’ is a conversation with introverts who have grown their online business using their introverted super powers. We discuss entrepreneurship, personal & business growth, different revenue streams, online selling & making a difference.

Today I'm pleased to introduce my first male guest. Yes, of course there's such thing as male introverted Online Business owners. Ian Brodie helps consultants and coaches to attract and win more clients. He's been named as one of the Top 50 Global Thought Leaders in Marketing and Sales and his website has been named as one of the Resources of the Decade for Professional Services Marketing. He's also the author of the Amazon #1 bestseller Email Persuasion. He describes himself as the "world's least natural salesperson" and it's because he found selling so uncomfortable that he found ways of making it easier and more natural for himself and teaches those methods to others like him.

• about Ian's 'geeky' background and how he discovered that he needed selling skills if he wanted to move up
• how those selling skills didn't need to be sleezy but could be based on your skills because 'clients are interested in working with you because you're really good at something'
• that you don't need to sell to everybody, you just need to find more people who appreciate you for who you are and the sale will happen naturally
• why Ian prefers e-mail to in-person and telephone
• how Ian generates a steady revenue with his membership site
• how Ian uses obsession as a super power
• and much more

Today I'm sitting on the other side of the mike and it is my dear friend and colleague and fellow podcaster Keith Carlson who is interviewing me. Just for the fun of it I'm also posting my bio below :-)

Sarah has started her first online business adventure in 2008, as a Virtual Assistant. She was living in California at the time, on an Expat Assignment, and needed a location independent business.
She has since moved back to her home country, Switzerland, and built a successful business as a LinkedIn Trainer & Consultant (simplicitysmallbiz.com)
After reading Simon Sinek’s book ‘Start With The Why’ Sarah realized that her true purpose is to help other introverts embrace who they are and scale their online business in order to make a difference, using their introverted super powers.

She has started this community because she saw introverts with successful online businesses all around her, and thought it was time to let the world know that introverts have a magic touch when it comes to business, especially an online business. She also wanted to create a safe sanctuary for introverts to hang out, and be themselves, in their own gentle and quiet way. Finally she believes in giving back, not in creating empires for one’s own benefit. A portion of her profits goes to her charity of choice.
Sarah's favorite quote
"I have a vision of people everywhere having the courage to live a life true to themselves instead of the life others expect of them" -- Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism

how turning 40 was a pivoting point for me and made me realize that I wanted to work with other introverts
about my different income streams from my LinkedIn Business and my plans for generating revenue for SarahSantacroce.com

The ‘Introvert Biz Growth’ is a conversation with introverts who have grown their online business using their introverted super powers. We discuss entrepreneurship, personal & business growth, different revenue streams, online selling & making a difference.

Today's interview is with Nicole Dean. I can't even remember when I started following Nicole's work, but it must be at least 8 years. What fascinates me most with Nicole is how she juggles 3 businesses, but yet seems to be living life and enjoying it. Don't miss this fun interview!

Nicole Dean is a Published Author, Popular Speaker, Successful Blogger and Podcaster, and a Business Consultant to really smart people.

She is frequently asked to teach about the topics of Outsourcing, Passive Income, Working from Home Successfully, Content Repurposing, Running a Profitable Affiliate Program, Creating infoproducts (as she’s released hundreds of her own), Productivity, and List Building – among other things.

Nicole teaches her students to set financial goals, but to also write down their lifestyle goals, as well. This ensures that they are building a business that aligns with the way they want their lives to look in 5 or 10 years, rather than creating a job where they are working for a crazy person – themselves.

Her Mission is To Make the Web and the World a Better Place – and, Hopefully Have a Lot of Fun While Doing It.
