Forgive me, friends, for I have sinned. It's been (mumbles) days since my last blog post and (mumbles) weeks since my last newsletter. But it's been at least 100 days without a workplace injury! (small victories!) The truth is, I've been a bit stuck. It happens to us all. Back in June, my friend and colleague Sophia Dembling contacted me to get my input on a post she was writing about … [Read more...]

January 16, 2015 by Beth Buelow Leave a Comment

One area I’ve not explored very much is raising venture capital. So I’m attempting to remedy that through my conversation with Brad Feld, co-founder of Foundry Group. Our conversation has a few twists and turns, and we talk about his experience with depression, why authenticity is so important for entrepreneurs, and how meditation can help introverts manage their energy. Of course, we also talk a … [Read more...]

The One Thing You Need to Succeed

194,622: number of books about success on Amazon.com Clearly, success is a hot topic. Rather than spend thousands of hours - and dollars - on hit-or-miss advice from the gurus, I invite you to consider that the answer may be simpler than you think. Success is fed by pronoia. What is pronoia? It's the belief that the universe is conspiring in your favor. It's the opposite of paranoia; Pronoia is … [Read more...]

If you're an introvert, you must be a geek, right? Just like if you're an introvert you must be shy, or misanthropic, or quiet. Right? Yeah, right... not so fast. Even though we've started to clear the air about what it really means to be an introvert, there are still lingering stereotypes that deserve to be squashed. And as I'm about to share, I'm not immune to perpetuating an image of … [Read more...]

Early on, we learned that we needed to act as if we were entitled to be there: wear all black, maybe carry our instrument with us, breeze through the side door with a look of authority and confidence.

When Introvert Ignorance is No Longer Bliss

June 22, 2013 by Beth Buelow 5 Comments

Those of us who are tooting the Team Introvert horn, loud and proud (relatively speaking!), have a few shared core messages: Being an introvert isn't a liability, it's an asset. Honor your need and desire for alone time, no apologies. Don't let the noise of the outer world drown out your inner voice. Your energy and power comes from within. You have innate strengths that enable you to be a … [Read more...]
