We’ve heard a lot about self confidence. You’ve probably heard the following statements like I have …
… it’s gonna take confidence or
… you need more confidence or
… you must be confident.
You may have also said to yourself …
… I’m lacking confidence or
… I don’t have enough confidence.
How often have you heard someone telling you HOW to gain self confidence?
The way we or I hear it is that confidence is somehow waiting out there somewhere for me to go get it or find it. I also hear it as something that I just need to tap into.
Even though there are elements of truth found within those implications, having confidence requires something more.
CASE AND POINT
When I first started coaching people, I lacked confidence. As a matter of fact, I delayed coaching anyone for quite some time because I didn’t feel confident in myself to do so.
I second guessed myself. I read more books. I took online classes. I listened to countless hours of audios. I watched hours of videos…
… looking for confidence.
Did I find it?
No!
It eluded me. I felt like I was in a hide-and-seek game with confidence.
Have that ever happened to you?
I would love to hear your story. Share with me in the comments below, your experience searching for confidence and how you “found” it.
TAKING ACTION IS THE FIRST STEP
Eventually, I came to the realization that confidence is something that I had to create. I had to do something to make it happen. That something is called “TAKE ACTION.”
After taking a few deep breaths of air and with some trepidation, I dove into my first coaching call.
I utilized all the communication skills I could muster up from within me and fumbled my way through. Thank God neither me or my client died from it.
As a matter of fact, I received fairly good feedback and I noticed something …
… my confidence tank began to fill up.
It was nowhere it is today, but it was the beginning. I began to CREATE CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF!
I have built on that over time and even though at times I don’t feel perfectly confident, I have enough to jump on a call and help people gain clarity to confidently take their next step towards their goal.
Here are 3 questions for you:
- How is your confidence?
- How are you creating confidence?
- What do you need to do to get going on building confidence within?
If you could not confidently say you’re progressing, you need to do like I did: take a step of faith called ACTION.
I know it can be easier said than done. I’ve been there.
OUTSIDE HELP WAS NECESSARY
But what I didn’t mention earlier is that I hired coaches to help me with clarity so that I could know what my next step was to take action.
That was my problem: NOT HAVING CLARITY ON WHAT TO DO NEXT. I bet that is yours as well!
Confidence is a key ingredient of your and my success. We must operate with confidence.
This is one of the areas I help people like you to do: Gain CLARITY and outline the STEPS TO CREATE CONFIDENCE.
