2. Many entrepreneurs share
specific qualities that are vital for
starting and growing a business.

3. They are passionate, resilient,
focused on opportunities and
comfortable with risks.

4. But the quality that might have the
most influence over an entrepreneur’s
success is confidence.

5. If you want to achieve great success, you
must believe that you are worthy. Here are
some helpful hints for boosting your
confidence in yourself and your business.

6. Package Yourself for Success
Dressing well communicates to others that you are
knowledgeable, powerful and competent. When
choosing clothing, remember to dress for the occasion
and your client’s emotional comfort.

7. Correct your posture
Poor posture may make you appear insecure, lazy or
disinterested. Try to make a conscious effort to roll
your shoulders back and elongate your spine. Keep
your head in a neutral position with your chin slightly
raised.

8. Do your best and worry less
Negative self-talk can quickly make you feel as though
others are evaluating every error and misstep you
make. Focus on all the things you do well and hire
other experts to take care of the rest.

9. Focus on the future
If you find yourself being caught up in the minutiae of
daily business, remind yourself to think about your
dreams for the future. If you take a few minutes to
focus on your goals, you’ll be able to refocus on what’s
most important to you and your business.

10. Embrace positivity
Show gratitude for small acts of kindness and be
appreciative of those around you. If you make it a
habit to be positive and grateful, it will become second
nature.

11. Let go of small mistakes
Try not to dwell on small errors. If you make a mistake
with a client, don’t obsess over what you might have
done wrong. Instead, take responsibility. Apologize, fix
the mistake as soon as possible and move forward.

12. Continue to grow and improve
A small accomplishment can help boost your
confidence. Learn a new skill, take a class at a local
university or read a book on a subject that interests
you. If you’d like to excel at something specific invest
in yourself and take lessons.

13. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice
Whenever you find yourself in an epic struggle against
self-doubt, call a trusted friend, advisor or colleague
and get his or her best advice. Often an objective
opinion will help you look at life differently, overcome
your challenges and transform your attitude.
