Having a bad week or even month? It’s easy to let a few rough patches snowball into a great big pile of self-doubt. Especially as an entrepreneur.
Self-confidence is one of the most important characteristics of a successful entrepreneur. Sure, we all lose a bit of faith here and there, but you have to know that you can and will accomplish your goals or you’ll quickly lose drive and focus.
That’s exactly how chaos takes over our business: by sinking its claws into your morale and spreading like a creepy virus. Show chaos the business fighter inside of you by implementing these 6 steps to gaining more self confidence!
Everyone gets the blues, but how you handle it shows your true entrepreneurial spirit! By acknowledging the nagging self-doubt, you’ll find areas for improvement.
Instead of getting green with envy over someone’s “overnight” success, take a deeper look at all of the work they’ve put in. You’ll quickly feel better by knowing you’re on the right path, too! Try tracking numbers to alleviate your impatience and help you understand where your gradual success is coming from, as well as understand where to focus your next efforts.
Think about surrounding yourself with peers and a business coach to help you understand that you’re not alone, while providing inspiration and connections. It’s amazing how quickly confidence skyrockets when you realize that there’s thousands of other people experiencing the exact same obstacles.
Understanding when to be passive and active is a big part of gaining more self-confidence. Be passive towards mundane daily tasks and use that time to reflect on big picture ideas! Be active towards advice you receive during seminars and conferences–notes don’t work unless you do!
