QUIT DOUBTING YOURSELF

If I were to ask you to describe someone that truly believes in themselves, what would you say? 

I think immediately the description would be that when they enter a room, people notice them. 

When they speak, people listen to them.

They definitely have strong body language. 

Most people would say that these type of individuals have no insecurities at all. 

The truth is, everyone struggles with some sort of self doubt. The key is to learn how to overcome the self-doubt.

Not everyone feels confident all the time. What separates successful people and those that are not as successful is the way those feelings are dealt with. It’s OK to be afraid, but we must not allow that to stop us. 

Your philosophy should always be, “I may have fear but I’m going to do it anyway. Nothing is going to stop me.”

Doubting oneself is basically a learned behavior. Most of that comes from the opinion of others and life experiences. 

Self doubt is driven by fear and stops us from achieving great success. The key to learning how to get rid of self doubt is to figure out how to overcome those fears.

The first step is to find out what are some of the beliefs that you may have that are holding you back. 

It’s a good idea to break out a sheet of paper and write them out. Once you identify what is holding you back, you can then change your belief system. 

The power of the mind is an incredible thing. You can definitely change your mindset from unlimited beliefs to absolutely believing in yourself and your abilities.

It’s also imperative to make sure that the way you talk about yourself and the way you talk to yourself is nothing but positive going forward. Do not be self deprecating even if you think it is funny. Changing your self talk is a powerful way to turn self-doubt into self-confidence.

Take a look at the people you are surrounding yourself with. 

Are people bringing you down or are they lifting you up? 

Find the people who are in life where you want to be and simply do what they do. Of course, make sure they are living with integrity. 

Surround yourself with people that are positive and supportive.

Once again, everyone will deal with some sort of self-doubt every now and then. It’s important to recognize that. Once you’ve recognized that, quit wondering how to get rid of it. 

I can’t stress enough the importance of taking action immediately. 

You don’t need to keep getting advice from everyone. Do not delay. 

There are no more excuses. Start today, start small and just keep moving forward. As you see achievements, you are going to start building confidence. 

The goal is to put the self-doubt behind you.I’m going to make a guarantee with you right now.  On the road to success, you WILL have some roadblocks.During this time, the ones closest to you will probably start doubting you. In fact, you may start doubting yourself. You must get rid of that mindset immediately and not listen to any naysayers. It’s time to push even harder. This is what separates true success from mediocrity. Do not quit, do not ever give up and don’t look back. Keep marching forward.Learn the lessons in the failures and the setbacks. Get up and get going.

You were designed with a great purpose. Look in that mirror every morning and proclaim

”I believe in myself and my abilities.  I will not allow fear or self-doubt to get in my way.  I am taking action and building my confidence every single day.


Happy Selling,
