Hey everyone,
So I am a very introverted person. INFP to be exact. I started a house cleaning business because after lots of research, I learned it's an excellent business to start. However, I learned that I really hate hiring training and firing people. I don't like the customer complaints, employees calling in sick/quitting and dealing with so many people constantly. I stopped that business because it was negatively impacting my life.
I still have the itch to start a business. I feel like I just haven't found the right path yet. I also feel like I need to have some passion for what I'm providing to people. I feel like if I'm genuinely helping people it would give me more drive.
I'd love to hear from any introverts here who don't fit that stereotypical extroverted high energy sales personality that you see online. What business did you find that really fit your personality? Thank you all!

You’re probably better off as a solopreneur to at least eliminate dealing with employees. So perhaps freelancing might be a good fit. Maybe offering services like copywriting, blogging, or social media mgmt.
You’re going to need some tougher skin, if you want to be self employed. You can avoid employees by keeping it a one man show but you still have to deal with customers.
Forget that stupid personality test, you are you, there is only one of you. No personality is going to describe you to the T and it’s likely to hinder your growth if you keep believing in it.
