Confidence. It’s that thing that we all want yet sometimes we don’t know how to get it. We can spend hours comparing ourselves to others and the confidence they seem to exude, but when it comes to our own confidence we seem to be lacking. It is a crucial piece to creating success. So how DO you find confidence?

The more you do anything the better you get.

• Stop thinking and start doing. Get out of your head, stop thinking about what it is you want to do and get out there and actually start doing it.

• Don’t be afraid to fail. With success comes failures. Most of the people I have interviewed for ILTV talk about how the failures are what got them to be the confident successful people they are today. The more we fall down and get up is where success and confidence come from. You don’t know until you try.

• Find a mentor. Invest in yourself. Les Brown has one of my favorite quotes, “You can’t see the picture when you’re in the frame.” Work with someone who will push you out of your comfort zone.

• Fake it til you make it. Put yourself out there as the expert and the authority you want to be. As you get more results you will become more confident in what you have to offer.

People believe in you, when YOU believe in yourself.
