Confidence Breeds Success
Have you notices how the sense of confidence that you have for yourself and about others permeates your decisions, and affects both trust and your success? Here are some ideas about confidence from a Master Executive Coach for your consideration.
The concept of confidence is congruent with the concept of success. Both must exist to support the other. You’ve seen an insecure person get passed over for a job while the confident one is chosen. This is also true in the sales arena. The salesperson who is confident easily makes his quota each month. When you’re shopping, if a salesperson cannot answer your questions confidently, you don’t buy the product. And you only buy high-dollar items from the salesman who is confident about you making this purchase, period.
Confidence also breeds safety. A person who appears to be in-the-know earns our trust rapidly. Each of us enjoys the company of a self-assured individual. Their confidence makes our weaknesses feel so much more strong.
Confidence is not being self-serving, show off, or insufferable. Nor is it something that you ‘do’. Rather, it is an essence. It comes from a strong inner knowing.
Too few of us take the time to realize that our constant inner badgering blocks our confidence. If you see yourself thinking potentially destroying thoughts like “Now why did I ____________?” to “I should have ________” to “I’m an idiot!” where is your self-trust?
Examine the role your seemingly innocuous little thoughts play. Your subconscious mind works 24/7 to make each and every thought a reality.
The same is true for confidence in others. When you silently think that your team isn’t motivated and won’t hit quota, that is the exact thing you are creating mentally and it pictures forth. Start with one small area to be confident in and proceed from there.
“You may never know how much your words of confidence mean, or how far they can go. When you speak words of confidence concerning others, you cannot help attracting it to yourself as well, since what you send out comes back multiplied. Self-confidence becomes a habitual state of mind, which then unconsciously goes to work for you to provide an avalanche of success!” Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catharine Ponder
This week, pay close attention to the role that confidence plays in your world. Notice how your thoughts create your reality, both the positive and the negative results, and how your actions quickly follow. Do you shoot off an e-mail portraying anger or self-assured understanding? Do you create an atmosphere of confidence and success wherever you go , or not? What are your results?
Have a week of complete aplomb! Enjoy your discoveries!
