A Quiet Life

I am often asked,

Why are you so quiet?"

"Why do you look so serious?"

Why don't you share your photos on social media?"

"Why don't you make videos of yourself?"

"Why are you not like all the other marketers who do live presentations and webinars?"

I get asked these questions all the time...

In this business, I guess these are fair questions as this is not what you expect from the typical online marketer, right? Heck, there are so called gurus teaching you stuff like these...

Listen to silence, it has so much to say

This quote by Rumi is more like me. I prefer the quiet life.

I'm a private person and keep my business and personal life to myself. dislike drawing attention and believe me, it took me a while to put up a profile picture online.

This quiet life is a choice...

Therefore, I don’t talk myself up and avoid the limelight.

Most of my family or friends are not aware of what I do online...

You can call me paranoid but I don't do social media in my personal life.

Even though I am an online marketer...

You will not see me doing the “rah rah” stuff like flashy cars, private vacations, showing piles of cash and shouting about how much money you make... will anyone listen anyway? Do they even care?

Honestly, if it weren't for business purposes I wouldn't use social media at all.

Why?

Because I value my privacy and I don't like giving all that information away. I think government and companies already know too much about our private life anyway.

So, can a quiet person do this business?

“The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates creativity”

Says who? Yes, the above quote is by Albert Einstein.

I'm an introverted, reserved, and quiet type of guy.

So there's no chance of me doing a webinar, a podcast, or a video.

I can write, blog and be creative in other ways...

Will this cost me some business and income opportunity?

Probably. Such is life. However, there's also an important lesson to be learned here, don't you think?

Here's the lesson; you don't need to be an outgoing extrovert to build a successful online business or generate online income.

Sure, it is always easy to believe you need to be out there, on camera all the time doing flashy stuff.

It does not matter whatever traits you are.

You can just be yourself..... and do this too.

*** you're ok, i'm ok, we're ok! ... well said, Stanley! ....

many, many people prefer quiet (it's called peaceful living) as all is from within .... for those who meditate ....

we are more powerful than we know ...

thanks kindly for posting ... all the best .... :) ***

Yes, it is a choice. There is nothing wrong with it and you can also be just as successful.

This is a nice perspective to hear! It is scary being an introvert in this seemingly huge extroverted world we now live in. Thoughtful post, thank-you :-)

Great advice and nice to know.

Lily 😊

I second Daisy78's reply. Believe it or not until I came to WA I had been and for the most part still am a complete introvert as well. However, when I was a young man I was very outgoing. When I signed up for WA I told myself that I was going to try with all my heart to make this marketing thing work this time. So this is me reaching out to the universe and trying. I totally feel what your saying in your post and I respect you for it. I wish I could be a quiet marketer like you. Maybe someday I will figure out the secret behind that..lol

Thanks for the post, I hope you have lots of success,

We can be ourselves and successful too. I wish success for all.

Love your post Stanley, I'm a lot like you!
Peace

Great post. I can relate


Wow this is what I've been worried about.. that I'm too quite for this. And this gives me a lot of relief.

THANK YOU for this post.

I love your post, I feel exactly the same as you do about social media. If I didn't have to use I wouldn't either!
