Increase Your Confidence – Part II

To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are. – AnonymousEach time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing. – Anonymous

Without self-confidence it can be difficult to get up in the morning, let alone run a successful business. If you find yourself questioning yourself and your abilities, it’s time to get an injection of confidence, and quick! Last week we talked about the following 5 confidence-boosting tips:1. Practice positive self-talk2. Excel3. Don’t waste time4. Do something that scares you5. Note your accomplishmentsTo conclude our series on increasing confidence we’ll discuss the following 5 tips:

6. Do something difficultPeter McIntyre once said, “Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong.” Often we’re afraid to try something we perceive to be difficult because we’re afraid of failing. Unfortunately, that’s how an insecure individual perceives difficulty. A confident individual recognizes that the reward is in doing something difficult, not in whether or not they ultimately succeed. There’s learning in the doing and that experience is invaluable. And often, regardless of the outcome, the act of performing something difficult is hugely rewarding and will go a long way to increase your confidence.7. Stop procrastinatingPutting off important tasks never helps you feel better about yourself. In fact, the opposite is true; generally we feel worse about ourselves when we procrastinate. So make a list of all those tasks you’re avoiding, and tackle one everyday. Even if you’re unable to complete the task you’ll immediately begin to feel better about yourself.8. Get in shapeYour physical condition makes a considerable contribution to your confidence level. We’re not trying to encourage small business owners to become obsessed with superficial appearances; we are, however, encouraging you to be healthy. Eating the right foods, exercising and getting enough sleep are key in how you feel about yourself. And you’d be amazed at how loosing those extra 10 pounds will help you stand a little taller and speak a little louder.9. Take care of yourselfIn light of number eight, we want to emphasize the importance of taking care of yourself by adding that you should avoid the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Even if you’ve unwittingly extended the use of a potentially harmful prescription drug, you’re sending yourself the signal that you and your body aren’t worth topnotch treatment.10. Expect great things to happenWalt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.” There’s something to be said about being able to imagine your own success. Because if you can’t, who else will?

Confidence radiates from you like heat. Clients will feel that confidence and become even more convinced of your expertise. And the more you nurture that confidence, the more self-assured you will be, and soon you’ll find that your business is a reflection of your new sense of self-worth.
