In this episode, I talk about how I as an introverted entrepreneurs can survive group trips if it's with family, friends or during a business retreat. It's not easy for introverts to be around people all the time, especially if you're not comfortable with the group dynamics. I share my experience of how I managed to survive a couple group trips last month and give tips that can help you to survive as well as introvert. It doesn't matter if you're an entrepreneur or not.

Key Points:

• Packing your stuff is crucial to surviving a group trip. Bring items like noise-canceling headphones, a journal, and an e-reader to give yourself some personal space and time.
• Communicate your needs to the group beforehand. If you need a quiet place to retreat, ask for it.
• Tasks like cooking breakfast or dinner can be a great way to have a designated task and keep busy without having to dive into conversations that don't interest you.
• Take time for yourself during the trip. It's okay to step away from the group and do your own thing for a bit.
• Don't be afraid to have a conversation with the group about your interests and find common ground. It can help make the trip more enjoyable for everyone.
• Finally, remember that it's okay to not love every moment of a group trip. It's important to take care of yourself and do what makes you comfortable.

Group trips can be tough for introverts, entrepreneur or not, but with some preparation and communication, it's possible to make them more enjoyable. Don't be afraid to take time for yourself and communicate your needs with the group. Remember, it's okay to not love every moment, and it's important to prioritize your own comfort and well-being.
