What is the key to major life change, such as starting your own business or seeking career advancement within your company? Where do you begin? What do you do? The first thing you need to do is…
Build Unshakable Confidence
How to build confidence that moves you forward
1. Get to know who you are at your core. Who you are at your core is what drives you to do anything you do in life, whether you are aware of it or not.
However, when you become aware of what drives you, you are able to proactively make better decisions for yourself, your career, and your business. This increases your confidence to achieve what it is that you want to achieve.
At my core, I am an achiever, maximizer, and a learner. I’ve learned how I can use these qualities in life and in my career, by empowering and emboldening others to be their best selves, achieve big things, and always keep an open mind to growth and learning. All these qualities are needed for high-level success, personal and professional.
A good place to start to learn who you are at the core is by taking the Clifton Strengthsfinder test. You will have to purchase the book new to get the access code to take the test. Trust me, it’s worth it.
2. Decide what it is that you really want, and declare it. When you make a commitment, and are confident in your commitment, the Universe (God, Creator, etc…) pulls all the resources you need to you to make it happen. When everything seems to fall in place because of your initial belief, your belief grows even stronger.
3. Take action. Action breeds confidence; it’s also the best way to get feedback as to whether you’re going in the right direction or not. Feedback is especially important for high achievers like you; it’s how you know you are doing what you are supposed to be doing.
Summary
In order to make a major life change, such as career advancement or business start-up, you got to build confidence. You build confidence by knowing who you are; deciding what it is that you really want; and taking action. Without enough confidence in yourself, it’s impossible to succeed.
