I’ve been writing a lot about confidence over the past few months. There is a reason for
that. I believe it is the key to success for anyone for anything they want to achieve. For most of my life, that is the gift I have wanted to give people, the gift of confidence. The thing is, that is not a gift I can give anyone. It is a gift you give yourself. The closest I can come is to give people tools that they can choose to use to increase confidence.
Here are the three things I believe are critical for building confidence.
- Know Yourself
- Be Courageous
- Take Action
Here are the tools for each.
Know Yourself
- Spirituality
- Reading
- Time away
- StrengthsFinder 2.0
Be Courageous
- Believe in yourself (yea…just do it!)
- Surround yourself with supporters
- Ask what is the worst that can happen?
Take Action – Enough said!
As Henry Ford once reflected “One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.”
