Self Esteem + Self Confidence + Self Respect = Self Worth.

Guest post by: Bob Urichuck

Article Overview: Self esteem is an internal sense of worth. Self esteem reflects an inner confidence and self-respect and shines outwardly by the actions one takes. What evolves on the inside is usually reflected on the outside. Your internal self worth which consists of your self-esteem, self confidence and self respect will become your external net worth. It’s a matter of pride in who you are and the mentor you can be.

Self Esteem + Self Confidence + Self Respect = Self Worth.

Self esteem is an internal sense of worth. Self esteem reflects an inner confidence and self-respect and shines outwardly by the actions one takes. What evolves on the inside is usually reflected on the outside. Your internal self worth which consists of your self-esteem, self confidence and self respect will become your external net worth. It's a matter of pride in who you are and the mentor you can be.

Compare an individual with a high net worth to another with a low net worth. What are the obvious differences? Does self esteem play a major role?

Is it possible that a positive viewpoint is the basis for a celebrated mindset? A mindset is an attitude. Each individual attitude is the result of particular beliefs. What you believe to be true about yourself usually generates equivalent self esteem, self confidence and self respect.

On a scale of 0 - 10 (low to high), how would you rate your level of self esteem,

self confidence and self respect? Calculate the average level of the three senses of worth? The conclusion is your self worth which ultimately determines your level of net worth.

Please note there is a way to increase your level of self worth. I believe we all came into this world at a level ten. We were equal human beings regardless of race, religion, colour, nationality, sex, title or role. However, our exposure to the outside world - family, religion, education, politics, etc. permits outside influences to over shadow our true inner beliefs. We have fashioned our own fears, limitations and boundaries on what we experience, see and hear. Overtime our personal perceptions have been altered. Our worth suddenly has limitations.

We are smart, educated adults and should be able to distinguish between fact and fiction. We need to go back and review our values. We need to remove some of the baggage that has been holding us back, lowering our self-esteem, self confidence and self respect.

Simply by changing our internal thinking, we can reclaim our self-esteem, self confidence and self respect and strive for level 10 as our standard. A level from which to begin not end. It is a known fact that if we don't believe in ourselves, no one else will either. How we feel about ourselves is reflected in our daily conversations, our body language and our abilities. We are responsible for our destiny and anything is possible.

What results are you looking for? What actions must you take? What sort of an attitude do you need to experience self worth? You must believe in yourself - the most important person in the world. You are the all inclusive package of self esteem, self confidence and self respect. All three attributes equal your self worth and in turn, your self worth will translate externally into your net worth. What are you worth?

Respect?!? - Hi there, A successful business depends on ongoing series of transactions. This inlvolves people. To what extend is respect important? When one thinks of himself alone, like me, me and me, how can respect become real? How many types of respect can we come up with? I think of a few: Respect of disagreement can be one. Then there is Respect of the Customer. Respect of position. Respect of 'Older Person'. By the same token, Respect of the 'Younger ones'. etc..... Has anybody got any other ideas on this subject.

Boosting Confidence - Confidence is something all of us women could stand to have infused in our blood 24/7! It’s one of those areas that many struggle with the most. Through my coaching practice, I’ve discovered an underlying thread that seems to undermine confidence in some women. It has to do with confusing true confidence with pride or arrogance. Confidence is being sure of who you are and what you are able to do in a way that does not compare yourself to others. It is not dependent on value because every one of us women is valuable. Pride or arrogance is when someone lifts him or herself above others as if they are more valuable than others. It also seems to be related to "approval addiction" where the self esteem must continually be fed by others or they don't feel good about themselves. Thus, some arrogant people put others down so they can see themselves as above. Confidence is simply being all of the great woman you already are. You want to create a great business and you want to do your job well. It is not prideful to be confident in what you are doing. I invite you to give yourself permission to really let your abilities come forward and see what happens to you and your business as a result. I’d also love to hear what methods you have for boosting your own confidence.
Re: How do you conduct negotiations with wealthy clients? Are th - One should never differentiate between wealthy & other clients, all should be treated in such a way that they love to visit you next time. Respect should be given to everyone.
Re: Is being too connected pushing your business forward or back - Being too connected can push you back. A few weeks ago my wife gave me a blackberry. It can be a distraction. Top performers are good at sorting out priorities. Respect your time and your prospects will too. Try to end every call with your prospect wanting more.
