The Meaning of Confidence

The Meaning of Confidence

Entrepreneurs must learn to be confident, and work at it regularly. That~{!/~}s not just because we want to feel good about ourselves. Self-worth can translate into net worth.

We often mistakenly assume that confidence is all in our heads. It~{!/~}s in our bodies too~{!*~}in the way we move, stand, and speak. Our bodies express our inner state, but it~{!/~}s also possible to train the body to communicate confidence.

We must know what we~{!/~}re capable of doing, and know what risks we~{!/~}re comfortable taking. Sometimes it~{!/~}s good to try to expand these limits, but it~{!/~}s never wise to ignore them. That can ruin your sleep, threaten your sanity, and cause you to do a lousy job besides.

Some people~{!*~}and they are always other people~{!*~}seem to be born confident. The rest of us must work at it. That~{!/~}s all right. The results reward the effort. If we expect others to appreciate our worth, we must first do so ourselves.
