Building a Travel Business as an Introvert with Cienia Railey

Scared that starting a business means you have to become a different person? I'm proving that wrong today.I sat down with Cienia Railey, a travel business owner who's spent the last 10 years turning a chance conversation with a coworker into a thriving business, all while staying a self-described introvert who'd rather have headphones on and a book in hand. In this episode, we get into the real cost of entrepreneurship: the discipline it takes when nobody's holding you accountable, the mindset shift from employee to business owner, and why the people you surround yourself with can make or break your growth.If you've ever wondered whether you have to "become extroverted" to succeed in business, or you're searching for a why that's bigger than the paycheck, this one's for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:How a stranger's business card on a plane turned into a 10-year careerRunning a business as an introvert: why discipline beats personality typeBringing corporate structure into entrepreneurship (and why most people skip this step)The mindset shift from employee to business ownerWhy relationships, not money, are the real currency of entrepreneurshipEvolving your "why": from providing for her kids to building a group home for women and childrenCreating emotional safety for others after growing up without it herselfConnect with Cienia:Instagram | www.instagram.com/purpose.driven_ladyFacebook | www.facebook.com/marwu.railey.7BEST MOMENTS:"It's really about discipline, whether you're an introvert or an extrovert. It's having the discipline to do what's necessary, not just what you desire to do.""There's no such thing as failure. I just had to keep going.""People think it's the money, but it's the relationships that really bring value."Connect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock Hosted on Acast.
