To be successful, both in your personal life and your business life, one needs to have a healthy measure of self confidence. Whether you were born with  full serving of self confidence or whether you need to work on it, there are several steps you can take to boost your self confidence and your self esteem, including:

  • Understand what your weaknesses are and then work to strengthen them. Do you have a hard time with follow-through? What can you to do address that? Can you set smaller, more attainable goals? Can you find an accountability partner?
  • What are your inherent strengths? Use those to your advantage and focus on those tasks at which you excel. In business you should concentrate on your core competencies and contract out those tasks which fall outside that realm.
  •  Strengthen your weaknesses. Analyze and find the areas that should be improved, then make a daily effort to improve these weak points in an endeavor to make them assets rather than liabilities.
  • Always be learning. The more you know about your particular business niche the more you will excel in it. If new technologies are on the horizon, take a class, talk to an expert, be the early adapter. Be the go-to expert in your niche.
  • Attitude is everything. If you project confidence and a positive attitude, it just may manifest itself in all that you do. Adopt a winning attitude!

Remember, no one is perfect and rather than bury your flaws, embrace them and work to make changes to address them.
