2. … “Confidence means you believe in yourself, your company, and the
product you represent.” If you can just get that one line in your head,
repeat it, and truly believe in it you will start selling 20% more today.
CONFIDENCE
It all boils down to 1 thing…
3. How confident do you seem to others?
Your level of self-confidence can show in many ways: your behavior,
your body language, how you speak, what you say, and so on. Look below
and identify which thoughts or actions you recognize in yourself…
Self-confident Low Self-confidence
Doing what you believe to be right, even
if others mock or criticize you for it.
Governing your behavior based on what
other people think.
Being willing to take risks and go the
extra mile to achieve better things.
Staying in your comfort zone, fearing
failure, and so avoid taking risks.
Admitting your mistakes, and learning
from them.
Working hard to cover up mistakes and
hoping that you can fix the problem
before anyone notices.
Waiting for others to congratulate you
on your accomplishments.
Extolling your own virtues as often as
possible to as many people as possible.
Accepting compliments graciously.
“Thanks, I really worked hard on that
prospectus. I’m pleased you recognize my
efforts.”
Dismissing compliments offhandedly. “Oh
that prospectus was nothing really,
anyone could have done it.”
How do you compare?
4. Low self-confidence can be self-
destructive, and it often manifests
itself as negativity. Self-confident
people are generally more positive –
they believe in themselves and their
abilities, and they also believe in
living life to the full.
5. Let go of the unsuccessful you, let go of the doubt, the
negativity, let go of the old you. Being successful in life is just
truly believing that you are something unique and special. When
you open your eyes and you start work today, your expressions
will be different, your tone of voice will be different, you’ll talk
more convincingly, you’ll be more real, more emphatic.
Our brains are like a circuit, so if we introduce it with the proper
wiring, we can become whatever we want. Now think about what you
want to achieve today. You are a new person. You can do whatever
you want to do. Trust in yourself and your abilities; be confident.
Your brain is like a circuit switch, once you believe you are
something, you embody that feeling. If you were in a coma, and you
just woke up and you didn’t have a memory and you were told that
you used to be a navy seal and they want you back now; how would
you act? Would you act differently than you do now, would you
conduct yourself differently than you do now?
Close your eyes, lower your head, clear your mind.
6. Write down 2 strengths and 1 weakness for
each of the 3 people sitting to your left.
ACTIVITY
Read aloud the strengths that your peers
and co-workers believe you have.
8. Preparing for your journey
First, we get ready for our journey to self-
confidence. We need to take stock of where we
are, think about where we want to go, get
ourselves in the right mindset for our journey,
and commit ourselves to starting it and staying
with it.
9. Think about your
life so far and list
the five best
things you’ve
achieved. What

can see them and
enjoy the success
you’ve already had!
LOOK AT WHAT
YOU’VE ALREADY
ACHIEVED!
Even I am
amazed
at how
ridiculously
fabulous
I am.
10. Take a look at who and where
you are. Reflect on your
recent life, think about what
your friends and co-workers
would consider to be your
strengths and weaknesses.
From these, think about the
opportunities and threats you
face.
THINK ABOUT
YOUR
STRENGTHS!
11. Think about the things that are really important to
you and what you want to achieve here at work.
Setting and achieving goals is the main key for
success and is the starting point to real self-
confidence. Use goal setting to set targets and
measure your successful hitting of those targets.
Set goals that exploit your strengths and minimize
your weaknesses, realize your opportunities and
control the threats you face. After you’ve set a few
goals, identify the 1st step in each.
THINK ABOUT WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO
YOU AND WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
12. WOKE UP THIS MORNING. HAD NO
PLANS TO BE AMAZING.

yourself to success!
At this stage, you need to
start managing your mind;
learn to pick up and
defeat the negative self-
talk which can destroy
your confidence.
You’re killing
yourself with
that
negativity…
13. THE FINAL PART OF
PREPARING FOR THE
JOURNEY IS TO MAKE
A CLEAR AND
UNEQUIVOCAL
PROMISE TO
YOURSELF THAT YOU
ARE ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED TO YOUR
JOURNEY, AND THAT
YOU WILL DO ALL IN
YOUR POWER TO
ACHIEVE IT.
IF IT IS IMPORTANT
TO YOU, YOU WILL
FIND A WAY.
IF NOT, YOU’LL FIND
AN EXCUSE.
Choosing a goal &
sticking to it
CHANGES
EVERYTHING
