Confidence

Confidence is a word that's being thrown around a lot lately. Confidence isn't an act, Confidence is a state of being certain. Two things that determine confidence are :-

1. Experience.
2. Plan out your end result in advance.

Confidence has to do with people having faith in their abilities. Confidence builds success and success builds confidence. According to Eleanor Roosevelt " We gain strength, and courage, confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do that which we think we cannot". Today we are going to give you helpful tips on building confidence:-

1. Expect to be nervous: Being nervous means you are tying to go into uncharted territory, being nervous means getting out of the comfort zone. Success results from getting out of the comfort zone and trying things you've never done.
2. Prepare: Preparation is key. According to Confucius, "Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure". Preparation starts with planning for the day, week, month and year. Preparation results in being able to handle unforeseen problems.
3. Practice: Practice is really important, all successful business people as well as athletes have had to put in hours of practice. Michael Jordan didn't become a superstar over night, it took years of practice, pain and disappointment to be a champion.
4. Positive: Positive thinking can do wonders for people. The power of positive thinking is usually lost in the day to day, but giving yourself a pep talk when you think that you are losing positivity will help you overcome any adversity.
5. Help Others: Always be helpful. Success in business doesn't come by being selfish. If you help other people with their issues, problems you will ultimately reach your goals. Successful people have devoted their life in helping others.
6. Visualize Success: Visualizing success is vital to reaching any form of success. " Ordinary people believe only in the possible. Extraordinary people visualize not what is possible or probable, but rather what is impossible. By visualizing the impossible they being to see it as possible". - Cherie Carter Scott.
7. Learn From Your Mistakes: This is the most important of them all. People often say they learn from their mistakes. People don't learn from their mistakes when they commit the same mistakes over and over again. "Failure is a stepping stone to success". Successful people learn from their mistakes so as to not commit the same mistake in the future to lead to a set back.
