“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That’s what makes you a winner.”
Venus Williams
A lack of self-belief is the #1 reason why people fail to achieve their goals. They fall prey to confidence monsters such as:
- Fear
- Self-doubt
- Performance anxiety
- Insecurity
- Negative self-talk
Confidence is believing that all things are possible.
It is trusting in a Force that is infinitely bigger than yourself yet resides at the core of who you really are.
As a 7-time NCAA championship and entrepreneur who consults with many of the top business leaders in the world, I’ve identified 5 key strategies that lead to increased confidence and improved results.
1: Practice positive self-talk.
What you say to yourself and others reflects your true belief.
How powerful is your language?
2: Build your physical body.
When you look great, you feel great. Everything works better.
What’s your fitness routine?
3: Be an optimist, not a pessimist.
Optimism is a force multiplier. Winners find the bright side.
Do you have an abundant mindset?
4. Outwork the competition.
Everybody wants to win, but few prepare to win.
Are you doing what it takes to maximize your potential?
5. Be proactive.
Procrastination is the thief of dreams (and confidence).
What can you do today to achieve your goals?
