How to Feel Confident as an Entrepreneur

Confidence is key to successful entrepreneurship

Confidence is something most of us struggle with at some point or another. I sure did. But the thing is, it’s not our fault…there is an epidemic of low self-esteem and low confidence right now. This epidemic is preventing people from following their dreams, from speaking their truth or speaking up when they want to, it's keeping them stuck in jobs they hate and it's keeping them from fully living.... it breaks my heart, truly.

But the good news is that you can learn and cultivate confidence. I know, because I did and that's what I'll be sharing today...how I did it.

But first, let talk about why it is so important to be confident as an entrepreneur.

Confidence allows you to fail without feeling like you have to give up.

Confidence allows you to overcome your fears of being seen, being rejected or of failing.

Confidence brings an energy that others want to be around. It's attractive and draws people to you.

When you are confident in yourself, others are confident in you and your services and/or your products.

When you are confident, you aren't worried about what others think of you so you can do FB lives or make vulnerable posts without stressing.

When you are confident, then you can truly be you and let yourself be seen exactly the way you are.

So without confidence, you could be missing out on living your dream, your purpose and your passion. You could stay stuck where you are comfortable but unhappy. And you could give up on your dreams....

Please don't do that.

Here are my 3 top tips:

1. Step into the energy of a goddess (or your future self)

2. Praise yourself, praise yourself, praise yourself.

3. Pay attention to your posture, body language and the words that you use. Imagine the most confident person you know. Do they sit up straight or slouch? Do they speak fast or slow? Quietly or loudly? Most confident people speak slowly and loud enough that you can easily hear them. Their posture is good and they display open confident body language. When you are standing, use a slightly wide stance than usual, throw your shoulders back and present a proud chest.

If this is a new body stance to you then start practicing at home. This is where it is important to practice your talks or FB lives beforehand.

This brings us to my secret tip that brings confidence instantly and that is the wonder woman pose.

This is proven to actually change your hormones - it gives you a boost of testosterone which increases confidence within 2 minutes.

Own all the parts of you, when you can own and embrace the parts of your that you've disowned, or rejected in the past then you can really truly step into your confidence.

So we've talked about why confidence is really important for your business, we talked about stepping into the energy of a goddess, praising yourself, using your posture including the wonder women pose and most importantly, how the main thing that will bring confidence, is learning how to like and love those parts of you that are whiny, clingy, insecure, mean, and grouchy or maybe it's the addict in you or the trouble maker.

You know the parts about you that you don't like....;)

When you can do that, then you can really step into your most confident and empowered self.... and that's when people start reacting differently to you, they want to be around your energy, they want what you have so they invest in your services or your products. :)
