The Creative Introvert: How to Build a Business You Love

by Cat Rose

If you’ve ever dreamt of turning your passion into a career, but feel held back by your perceived limitations, such as introversion, lack of confidence or plain old fear - this book was created for you.
To stand out from the crowd, successful creators need to combine creative talent with strong marketing and promotional skills. But what if you aren’t wired to shout from the rooftops about how awesome you are (even though you are)?
Whether you’re an aspiring artist, illustrator, writer, musician or ballet dancer, The Creative Introvert offers practical and inspirational guidance on building a successful career – on your terms.
It’s about knowing who you are and what you want, about forming connections rather than (shudder) networking. Filled with illustrations, quotes, stories, and examples, The Creative Introvert provides you with a 6-part systematic approach for being courageous, resilient and effective at making it happen.
All in all, this book is your guide to finding a path that is tailor made to your personality, preferences, needs and desires, helping you to thrive as any kind of creative entrepreneur in the digital age.

Full of simple but great ways to get you moving forward with your business or creative endeavours not matter how small. Full of useful exercises to get you thinking and motivated, and in bitesize chunks that won't overwhelm you. My only regret is buying the ebook instead of a the physical copy as it's the sort of book you want to scribble your own notes over and flick back a section to check something out. I read this book just thinking about how I would respond to the exercises but now I'm about to start again with the workbook by my side!

I don't know if I am an introverted person, in some aspects of my life yes and in others, exhibitionist. I am not sociable and I am creative.
After reading Lisa Congdon's book, I started with this one which is of a different quality. Cat Rose is not popular, it is not even easy to find the book and GoodReads does not suggest it but it is very good.
It is down to earth and helps to take initiatives, it seemed to me human and not elitist.
