How To Be More Confident
Self-Doubt Is a Killer – especially if you run a micro-business.
When your marketing idea doesn’t produce what you hoped, it’s easy to give up. Self-doubt can kick in and its easy to look around for another strategy.
At that wavering time, remember:
- This is where continuity of purpose is needed.
- Give your strategy a chance.
- Success may be right round the corner.
- You’ll never find out if you switch horses too soon.
When you know it doesn’t fit
On the other hand, if something isn’t working and you’ve given it a decent trial period, drop it.
Don’t make the mistake of sticking with something that doesn’t work for you.
Loyalty in that situation is foolhardy.
Self-doubt
Self-doubt can ruin all your plans.
And I think we women are prone to it, especially the solopreneurs among us. That’s why I believe that working on mindset and confidence, not just on business strategy and techniques, is vital for women running a coaching, consulting or training business of their own.
I work with experienced women coaches, consultants and trainers who run their own business and want to make it more lucrative, profitable and sustainable while giving great value to clients. You have probably been working in your field for some years so you know your skills are valuable and relevant. You may have been running your own business for a few years, have made some money – even quite a lot – and now you are ready for the next leap.
Like a jigsaw
In my programmes for women experts running their own businesses like you, I focus on helping you build your business mindset and confidence in several important ways. Like a jigsaw, we need to approach the business from different angles to get the whole thing complete, strategic and working together.
For example here are some of the jigsaw pieces where I share how-to-do-it-better:
- Manage your thinking and mindset
- Re-define your niche, choose the right one, define and deepen it
- Package and price your service to attract the clients you want
- Show your uniqueness better.
And more.
Banish self-doubt
First get the key pieces working more efficiently.
As we do that together, you find you build a strong inner confidence and conviction in:
- what you offer
- your price and
- your system.
That’s what keeps you going through barren times, feeling strong, being confident as you do the work that needs to be done.
Because you deeply know your true worth and the results your clients gain from working with you.
And it shines through so clients are convinced. They want to work with you. They are willing to pay what you charge.
From my own experience
Since I reached this position of conviction myself, some years ago now, I find I can ride out less profitable months with ease.
I don’t suffer the self-doubt I used to feel, that turned into bitter self-talk and a kind of desperation to sell whenever a potential client showed up.
That desperation seeps through your communication and makes building real trust impossible, let alone a flow of sales. So if you experience it now, you need to get rid of it. Get in touch with me as it’s one of the things I know I can help with. Along with all I’ve mentioned here, and more.
