Why is Confidence So Important in Business?

Confidence Sells, are you Buying.
Confidence is a asset that can be honed and strengthened every day.
During our day we will often be challenged by fear, worry, uncertainty etc. This has the affect of taking our confidence away, affecting productivity, communications and revenue. So what are we doing to replenish lost confidence and how does our level of confidence affect our Business?
If our lives are to be filled with happiness and abundance we need to be self assured, happy and have the confidence to go with our choices. People that make good choices, choices that support who they are and what they believe in, tend to be clear and demonstrate confidence and therefore have a mindset that supports them to take the appropriate action to ensures their choices have positive outcomes.
Clarity is Power and is a breeding ground for confidence. If we are walking around in the fog we become unsure of where we are going and what is ahead. This in-turn takes our confidence away.
If we do not possess that confidence, we need to STOP and ask ourselves Why? Why am I feeling the way I am? Listen to the answers that are coming your way and write them down. Is it because you have lost the passion, is it because you are worried about finances, is it because you are tired or bored or lonely or disillusioned ? Whatever it is ‘Name it to Claim it’!
Once you take ownership of these feelings you can start to improve on them. And as we let our true inner passions and dreams out, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
We were born to be the best that we can be. It’s not just in some of us, it is in all of us. We are all truly unique and our business success comes from our uniqueness. Being prepared to shout out our uniqueness to the market place is really important in this economic environment. Our deepest fear may not be that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear maybe that we are powerful beyond measure. Playing small does not serve your business or the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. Buddy up with other people and talk about your business challenges.
As you get clearer about what you want and where you are going your confidence in your business will develop
