Mentors, coaches, and networking for introverts.

Im really curious to learn more about successful individuals in the world of investing that are naturally introverted,  and how they overcame or leveraged those tendencies. As a point of clarification: I think most people view natural introverts as either being shy, aloof, or possibly even rude. But at least for me, its none of those things.  The best description Ive encountered is that most people GET energy from interactions with other people, where by introverts have to USE up a lot of mental energy when interacting with people.

It's awesome that you're self-aware and are looking ahead to what this might mean for you in the future.

My first thought is that you're seeing maybe a lot of people on social media talking on camera talking about their successful real estate endeavors. Don't get caught up in the idea that all successful people are on social media talking about their experiences. There are more investors out there who aren't doing that and who are just as if not more successful as social media influencers. Simply put, extroversion is directly correlated to success.

With that being said, real estate is a people business so you will need to make a few strong connections with key people that you will need while investing.

If you are trying to run a syndication, that is a bit different. You will need to partner with someone who is willing to get out in front of people and kiss babies.

I am naturally introverted as well and I really don't see it as a negative attribute.
