Introverts as Entrepreneurs

[SSimz]

Hi Fastlaners,

I have recently taken the first few steps to entrepreneurship (I have read TMF and have been brainstorming ideas for different internet businesses); however one of the biggest issues I can see holding me back from building a successful business in the future is being an introvert.

While I do see the benefits of being an introvert as an entrepreneur such as being self confident, hard working and strategic; I currently dread social interactions, public speaking and working with others.

I was wondering if some members of community have had these same issues and if so, how did you overcome these challenges. If they are currently any books you would recommend please feel free to list them as well.

Thanks
SSimz
