Day 10 – Saying YES to BUILDING CONFIDENCE

I never thought much about confidence or courage for that matter.

When I was growing up I was put down a lot at home, school and extracurricular activities. I was also given too much responsibility at home instead of getting out, socializing and dating. My mother used to tell me that the boys did not ask me out because I was not rich. I have often wondered how that affected  me in all areas of my life. I tried a lot growing up and somewhere along the way I must have lost my confidence and did not realize it.

In the early days of my business I made cold calls. I knocked on doors and handed out my cards and I looked through the phone book and made phone calls. I never really liked it but as I look back I can see how it helped me build confidence and as well as my business.

Recently I have realized that I have been building confidence. I’ve been putting myself out there more, leading calls and sharing more of my story. It was not anything I was trying to do but it feels good to notice that my confidence is getting stronger as I step deeper into my purpose and new business. Everything I do these days is getting easier. And I care less about being perfect. Plus I do not seem to care what people may think about me anymore either.

The point is I’m feeling a level of confidence that is new and refreshing … now that I’m paying attention to it! 🙂
