3 Secrete Ways to Increase Confidence

Confidence is a mindset.

I have encountered many people who had a fearlessness would make you marvel. They all have one thing in common; they are not afraid to show themselves. One guy I know can enter a room of strangers and start conversations with anyone. When he goes out, everyone that was in that room is left in amazement.

You can be like that guy and all other people that have mastered self-confidence. I will show you how.

Why do you need confidence? With confidence you can easily become a successful person. Even if you are not very competent in your field. You will get to heights that you have never saw yourself at.

You will also realise that most successful are fearless. They are willing to take risks. They are not afraid to cross bridges because they know that if they fall they have not failed but learnt a lesson. They also come back with a stronger.

Today you can be grateful because I can now share the secrete with you.

Remember that your past is not a life sentence.

Here you go:

1. Be around the confident.

Fake it till you make it. That means you have to surround yourself with people who are already confident. Read books that promote this aspiration or watch movies.

When you begin to surround yourself with confident people, you will be forced to want want to fit in. 

2. Don't stop working on yourself

Spend a few minutes everyday to read a book on the area you want to build confidence in. Watch videos of people who have already made it.

It only gets easier the more you try. Fall. Fail. Get up. The people who made it didn't fly there. They too had learn.

Studies show that practice builds confidence. The more you practice, the less doubt you have. Your confidence begins to rise

"Excellence is not a gift but a habit"

Habits are born from frequent repetition. So make sure to build yourself bit by bit.

3. Failure is your friend.

A skilled sailor is made from a calm sea. So don't be afraid to failure. For failure is the only way to mastery.

Of course, nobody wants to fail. But if you want to succeed, that is exactly what you have to get more comfortable doing. 

Failure leaves clues as to how to succeed. And success breeds confidence.

The more often you fail, the more knowledge you obtain about what works and what doesn’t. The more insight you have about how to produce a hit, the easier it becomes for you to be confident that the path you are moving along will bring you the results you desire. The more progress you make, the less likely you have your confidence destroyed when something doesn’t go your way.

Seth Godin is an 18-time best-selling author. Before he published any of his best-sellers, he spent 10 years as a book packager, producing a book a month. Producing 120 books, many of which sold very little, taught him many things about how to deliver work his audience wanted to buy.

James Dyson spent 15 years producing more than 5,000 prototypes before he developed the one that launched his billion dollar vacuum company. He wrote:

“There were tough times, but each failure brought me closer to solving the problem.”

You can become more confident no matter your starting point. It all starts with recognizing that you can develop the competence you need to be excellent. And then, of course, you’ve got to take the necessary actions that will help you get there.

In time, as your skills grow, so will your confidence, the mesmerizing effect you have on people and your level of success.
