“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” Dr. Seuss
I once was at a seminar where the speaker said that; “confidence affects everything”. I believe that to be true in my own life. When I lack the self-confidence it affects my whole day, but when I have self-confidence I’m on the top of the world. So here are just 3 tips that have helped me to be more confident!
Tip # 1 Know! I think Dr. Seuss put it well in the above quote. “And you know what you know.” If you are comfortable in what you do and the goods you deliver and the value you give as an entrepreneur this will make you a more confident person in your business and in your life. As my business has evolved and I know what I do I have become more confident in my business! I can say with confidence that: ” I am a business coach that specializes in Social Media Managment and I can help you manage your Social Media so you can do what you are passionate about in your business.”
Tip # 2 Being comfortable in your own skin! Be yourself. My mentor always tells me “to just show up” that’s really all I have control of, the rest is out of my hands. When I put my self in situations that I’m not comfortable and I lack confidence in, I become a mess. But if I just show up, and be the best me, that works so well for my confidence. I really just got this recently, like today! I put that in practice today in a session with a client, I showed up, listening and being myself and it was fun and it was great session.
Tip # 3 Have Direction! When you know where you are going and what you are doing you will have confidence that will bring you to success each and every day. Dr. Seuss has it right when he says, “You’re on your own.” “You are the guy/gal who’ll decide where to go.” You see if you know where you’re going with every step you take you will gain more confidence. And that is success in my book everyday.
