Confidence equals success in business and in life

Have you noticed how some of the most successful entrepreneurs around the world just seem to exude confidence, in all aspects of their life? It seems to be part of their DNA and you get the feeling that they were just born confident. And yet for those of us not blessed with inbuilt confidence, this is a quality we can absolutely develop over time. It starts by being the best at what we do, demonstrating to ourselves and to others that we have a real sense of pride in what we are creating. Confidence building also comes through sharing our knowledge, expertise, skills and passion with others, and there is no doubt that a real love and passion for what you do can not only drive your confidence levels but inspire others to find their own too. Confidence is all about action, the ability to ‘Just Do It’, in the words of Nike. And let’s face it, if you want to find a source of inspiration from some of the most confident people on the planet, then look to those who reach the pinnacle of success in the sports world, who exude confidence and courage each time they head out to the track, pool, court or pitch. As the legendary woman tennis player, Chris Evert, said: “In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.”
