How to build confidence in yourself for your business
All over the world, peple have the dream of becoming their own boss
. Most of them will fail or quit. Some will fail because of the system or because of their personality. Other reasons might be because of their mentor, not enough time or they really did not want to do this in the first place. The main reason people will quit or fail is because they lack self- confidence.The low self-confident individual will perceive something that is not working as a failure instead of what it really is, just something that did not work. When people feel they are failing, they lose faith and their own confidence that they can achieve what they have started. Self confidence is extremely important but how do you build your self-confidence for your business if you start from the beginning, from the bottom of the food chain?

First they do what they believe in no matter what other people might say. The low self-confident person with be concern with what friends and family say and will do what seems like everybody else is doing. You probably have people in your immediate surrounding that are saying that you are crazy to think you will succeed with your business. Ask yourself, what have they done that makes them an expert? Have they succeeded in what you are trying to achieve? If not, separate yourself from those people as much as you can. They are what I call dream crushers.
A self-confident person will take risk. Others will stay within their comfort zone thinking that living paycheck to paycheck or having quote on quote a good job is the only way to go. The self-confident individual will face the fact they made a mistake and most of all will see those mistakes as what they are, mistakes, not failure. The low self-confident person will do everything they can to hide that mistake because they are afraid to look bad in front of others. The self confident person will not look for praise and when he receives it, he will accept it gracefully. Expect the opposite from the low self confident individual.
