You know, in order for you to get good at anything, you need belief and confidence that you can actually do whatever it is you are looking to do. Success in life starts with a positive view of YOU...It's simple! If you don't buy you and/or believe in you, no one will. Having belief and confidence in you is critical, some of you already have it, and some need to develop it. That's OK, as we all start from different places.
In the end, where you go in your business is all about YOU, the decisions you make and your patterns of belief. Whether you're rich or broke, happy or sad, fit or unfit, is entirely up to you. It is much easier to make decisions that create a better life for you when you believe in you and feel good about you.
Learn to like yourself and have a positive view of you…self is important. In order for you to impact others in a positive way, you must first believe in you.
Therefore, having a good, strong and healthy ego is GOOD! Am I saying you must have a BIG ego? Actually, yes and no, now I've heard that having a big ego is bad but, I it all depends on your definitions. So, let's not get semantics in the way here. Folks, let's get our definitions of ego correct here; Ego means self-esteem and self-esteem means to think highly of, therefore, having a big ego simply means that you have big, healthy self-esteem. Now...who doesn't want that? Call it what you will...but, having a strong, healthy ego is very, very good for you.
Now, there's a distinct difference between a Big Ego and being Egotistical or self-conceited which are not good character traits to display. It's good to have a strong, healthy ego, just don't let it get in the way of your success.
Self-traits you should have:
- Self-assertive: determined to assert oneself or claims
- Self-confidence: having confidence in ones abilities
- Self-control: control of oneself or one's behavior
- Self-defense: defense of oneself or one's reputation
- Self-determination: to have free will
- Self-employed: this is self-explanatory
- Self-esteem: good opinion of oneself
- Self-made: having risen from obscurity from one's own efforts
- Self-preservation: keeping oneself from death or harm
- Self-reliant: reliant on one's own abilities
- Self-respect: proper regard for one's dignity or standard of conduct
- Self-sacrifice: sacrifice of one's interests and desires to those of others
- Self-sufficient: capable of supplying one's own needs
The Bottom Line: If you don't believe in you, if you don't buy you, people won't believe that you have the abilities to lead them where they want to go or provide what they need. In fact, you want even have a chance to lead them anywhere, because they probably won't buy your products or join you in the first place.
You must also have both Belief and Faith in the following:
- Your industry
- Your company
- Your products and/or services
Belief means to have trust and confidence in and Faith means having a belief in that which is not yet seen. How can you possibly expect to succeed if you are lacking faith and belief in your industry, your company, or your products and/or services?
