"What introverted dreamer wouldn't want a smart, successful mentor available in the quiet of their living room?  Beth Buelow is that mentor, and The Introvert Entrepreneur reaches introverts where they live: inside, with their hopes, fears and questions. An indispensable guide."

“Having spent my life as an extrovert, in a family of extroverts, I didn’t fully understand that introverts saw the world a different way. Having followed Beth’s work and then reading her latest book, The Introvert Entrepreneur, I feel like I have insight that I hadn’t had before on how introverts do business. Upon finishing the book, I realized that many of my way of engaging with introverts was always based on my preferences rather than considering theirs. Now armed with increased understanding, I’ve changed my style and am getting better results in my communications with them. This book now has a permanent home on my desk as a valuable reference.” 
 
--Christopher Flett, founder of Ghost CEO and author of What Men Don't Tell Women About Business and Market Shark

“Beth Buelow’s gem of a book is a coach and mentor in your pocket that celebrates your strengths, facilitates your creative thinking, and cheers you along (quietly!), step by step, toward your entrepreneurial dreams. Buelow asks smart questions and offers thoughtful advice that reflects her deep understanding of the experience of entrepreneurs who are building their own businesses, authentically and powerfully, as introverts. Her book is for you if you run (or want to start) your own business or even if you have a ‘job job’ and an entrepreneurial mindset.
