I was painfully shy and started my own business. There is a lot of value in the startup experience even if he does not stay in the startup world.

How did I do it? I had small goals each day and each week and focused on those goals rather than the outcome. It is the outcome that creates angst for the introverted.

I had my own business for 3 years. The first year was painful the 2nd 2 years were productive.

When I went back to traditional employment I had a confidence that I would not have had if I stayed on a traditional business path.
