Create, build, innovate, invent something spectacular that does not exists or that no one has really come close to perfecting.

To create, in part, requires an extreme level of introspection, going dark or time in the Lab, something that introverts are quite good at.

Let your works speak for themselves. This is what I have found to be the most powerful networking move an introvert can make.

This is also something that sales, marketing, branding and some investor types will never understand.

This is also something that the Google guys understood very well and they seem to be fairly well networked these days.

Well said. Building something is easy enough; but to figure out if people want what is being built - that requires a lot of interaction which sometimes is beyond introverts. Of course, it's a different thing if one happens to build something which is then wanted by people.

I completely agree. The exceptions, however, would be if it has enough utility as water for example, similar to Search. All things considered, it certainly must be useful to the masses.
