This may seem very apparent but have you ever noticed that successful people have higher levels of self-confidence? In many cases they may analyze choices, options, and strategy in a completely obsessive manner but regardless they still have confidence.
Is this a chicken and the egg scenario? Which comes first?
Self-confidence is typically considered to be made up of two primary factors, self-efficacy and self-esteem. Lower levels of one or both factors will result in a lower level of confidence. Here is the good news – both factors can be developed. You are not born with a fixed or predetermined level of self-confidence.
Do you want to improve your self-confidence? Here are two easy ways to get you on the right track:
- Visualize your future, plan, prepare, be realistic and think about small wins on your way to your goal
- Defeat negative self-talk, promise yourself you are committed to your success, surround yourself with positive people and thoughts
Successful people are confident. They have healthy amounts of both self-efficacy and self-esteem. They are balanced.
Do you have the confidence required?
Don’t think it - know it, get it, grow it!
