Self belief is a major factor in becoming successful.

Many of the people I mentor have all the talent they need to be successful but suffer from a lack of self belief and confidence.

This stops them from even trying to get what they want.

Achieving anything is mostly about simply doing the right things at the right time

Do you believe you can get what you want?

If not, what are the thoughts that are holding you back?

The first step to working on a lack of self belief or self confidence is to acknowledge that you have them.

The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on.

All other things being equal*, self-belief is often the single ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from someone less successful – because they believe that if they try something and fail, it’s not the end of the world and they can always try doing it a different way or try something else.

They don’t think “why me?” they think “why not me?”

What do you think?

• I just had to highlight “All other things being equal” because I got into a conversation with someone who didn’t want to hear that a lack of training, experience, or the ability to run a business could be a barrier. Self belief is important and in the right person might be enough to persuade customers to part with their money, but I recommend that whatever you’re trying to sell, you need to have some credentials that prove you’re good at what you do before you launch a business!
