6 Six steps to increasing your business confidence

 Six steps to increasing your business confidence

written by Imo David

Consider well-known entrepreneurs, The Apprentice cast members, and the dragons in the den: a common personality trait they all share is confidence.

As a business owner, your personal confidence will be directly proportional to your company's success. People buy from people, and if you don't appear confident in yourself, your product, or your business, it will damage the performance of your company. Confidence is required to sell, but it is also required to lead employees and involve them in the business.

Some people appear to be naturally confident, but for the most majority, confidence is a learned ability that can always be developed. Here are six strategies to help you boost your business confidence:

1. Recognize that confidence is a state of mind.

There is a significant distinction between self-esteem and confidence. Confidence is something we show and want others to see, not how we truly feel.

2. Determine the triggers

Recognize the events or sorts of individuals who make you feel the least confident, and spend time objectively analyzing what causes these sentiments. Try to comprehend that you are in control and can choose whether or not to create a confident image. We can easily become locked in a vicious loop of negative thinking, in which we assume that the person we are meeting has negative thoughts about us and mentally prepare for the worst-case scenario in any given situation. The issue with this method is that it becomes self-fulfilling. Consider the best-case scenario: pleasure and positivity are contagious.

3. Planning is essential.

Better preparation and time management can significantly boost confidence. Take time before meetings to clarify objectives, what you want to say, and how the time will be spent - this eliminates the unexpected, and hence the dread that causes lack of confidence. Agendas are well received by colleagues and clients alike, so feel free to take charge and distribute one ahead of time - it will help you keep on track throughout the meeting.

Practicing a scenario that generally makes you feel insecure, whether in front of a mirror or with a coworker, is another fantastic approach to test how easily you can change your perspective. Fear of a person or scenario can often cause us to respond in a certain way; therefore, by facing it and practicing it, you are actively confronting that worry and tearing down the walls.

4. Push yourself actively

Changing behavior is difficult and can only be accomplished through reinforcement. If you prefer to communicate via email, start calling people instead. If speaking with a prospect over the phone is easy, force yourself to meet in person. Fear will fade as you address your issues.

5. Practice assertiveness tactics

Being believable, authoritative, and communicating well are all aspects of confidence. This does not imply going overboard by being deceptive, combative, or monopolizing talks. It is possible to do this through assertiveness strategies, such as transitioning from a passive position to contributing to a conversation and clearly explaining your point of view. When we are insecure, we overlook social signs to contribute; embrace these opportunities to contribute and think that your contribution is valid - the more you do it, the easier it will become.

6. Study the best.

Learn from the tone of their voice, the tempo of their presentation, and how they gesticulate to presenters who radiate confidence. Joining a public speaking club, hiring a coach, or actively attending and watching speeches are all options. There is a lot of stuff available online, and TED Talks in particular draw great, confident speakers.

Confidence may not appear to be a concrete idea, but if it is enhanced, your company's success will skyrocket. As an extra bonus, it comes with personal benefits such as increased enjoyment of work and relationships. So say it with me: "Confidence is a state of mind..."
