From setting up your business and finding customers to then promoting your business and making money, it can be tough. But if you choose a niche or industry that you not only suits your personality but are passionate about too, you really can make it work.

Introverted

If you like your space and being within your company, consider yourself a good listener, are quite calm and more reserved, it’s likely that you’re an introvert. Based on your personality traits, you might find that certain career choices, in sales, for example, might not be suited to you. But, there are career paths that are great for introverts, such as an artist or researcher. So, if you’re looking to start your own business, think about the qualities you have that use can use. If you can drive, maybe a specialist chauffeur company would suit you, or you even try your own podcast!

Shy But Social

Perhaps you’re shy, but you still love to be around people. Depending on how creative you are, you could start a business that is centered around your talents. A career as a freelance photographer is perfect for people that are quite shy, but also relatively sociable. As a photographer, you may spend a lot of time on your own. But, if your subject is people, then it’s likely that you’ll never be alone. Working on a photography business that focuses on portraits could be a fantastic path for you to take.

Outgoing

If you’re outgoing, there are some new and exciting industries that could suit you. If you’re good with sales, your prospects could be even better. But you’ll also need the talent to go with your forward personality. It’s likely that you’ll want to be surrounded by people in your work, so opening a shop could be a great avenue – you’ll just need to decide what to sell. If that’s too generic, then starting a money-making blog, or capitalizing on your online presence could be a past-faced, current career path for you to break into.
