Every one of us deals with fear or self-doubt in our
lifetimes. Even the most self-confident people experience these rather
unpleasant emotions. Those who are able to overcome these insecurities tend to
achieve the most success in life. This is because we only experience the
freedom of being ourselves when we tackle fear. You must deal with your fears
in order to become the best home based business owner, employee, friend, spouse, or parent.
Some people give the impression of being self-assured and
self-confident. People on the other side of the fence are typically envious and
want to know the secrets these other folks have learned. The reality is that
none of us knows what the other is experiencing internally. We only see what
another person wants us to see and we develop our impression of the individual
based on that.
Self-doubt causes many people to stop themselves from
pursuing greatness in their careers and personal lives. You can stay out of
this category by following several tips when feelings of insecurity and
fearfulness rear their ugly heads. The first is to remember that these feelings
are normal and experienced by many other people. if you are undertaking a new
or exciting venture, you should experience some fear.
Remaining busy is one way to put fear in its place. When we
are busier, we tend to be more self-confident. People who have free time to
think about themselves and explore negative feelings usually wind up doubting
themselves. Fill your calendar with appointments, meetings, and social
engagements to keep introspection time to a minimum.
Fear is sometimes an indication of things that should be
done. Therefore, embracing it can have big benefits. One of the best ways to
increase confidence is to do what you are afraid to do. For example, call on a
previously unsatisfied customer, identify their issues, and address these. Even
if this does not yield the expected result, you will be pleased that you
tackled the situation rather than hiding from it.
People who experience the most success in life are not
comfort-seekers. In fact, they are the opposite. They are willing to do things
that make them the most uncomfortable in order to reach their goals. When we
strive for familiarity and a comfortable feeling, we settle for less than our
potential. To enrich our business and personal lives, we must go beyond our
comfort zones and make the uncomfortable feel comfortable.
You do not need to be a creative or intellectual genius to
be successful, you just need to make a big effort. By taking more action than
the average person takes, you will come out a winner. This heightened level of
activity produces results. A single action is not enough to overcome fear or
create success. Determine the activity level you think is required to achieve
your goals and then put forth an effort that is ten times this. Fear will
become a speck in the rear-view mirror as you zoom down the road to success.
