For introverts who want to start a business - an honest note (as-salamu alaykum)

As-salamu alaykum - thought I’d share a quick personal note for fellow introverts dreaming of entrepreneurship. I used to spend ages tweaking landing pages for a tiny 1% conversion bump, or chasing some “magic” ad setup that I thought would skyrocket the business. Then my mentor told me something simple: business often reflects where you need to grow personally. The real bottlenecks in your work are often the things you haven’t worked on in yourself. For me the truth was clear but uncomfortable - I didn’t enjoy talking to people. I avoided sales calls, tried to seal deals over messages, and slowly ghosted when someone wanted a voice or video call. I was literally letting chances slip away. I was busy with small tweaks while ignoring the change that could've given a huge payoff. I didn’t fix it overnight, but here’s what I’m doing now: 1. I focus on higher‑value clients so each conversation is worth more - better earnings-to-talking ratio. 2. I hired a sales agent to handle outreach and calls I don’t enjoy. 3. I worked on my knowledge and skills so I feel more confident and less like an impostor - that made calls way easier. Hope this helps a fellow introvert. May Allah make things easy and grant success. :)
