The Attitude of Success

To be an effective business leader, self confidence is paramount. It is a fundamental trait to acquire and it is the foundation of leadership. Those in your organization must believe in you to feel comfortable following your lead. Success is more than material possessions or a large bank account-- Its an attitude! And you can be successful in your mind long before wealth catches up by learning techniques that can help you generate the confidence you need to inspire others. I have created a 3 stage approach to gaining more self confidence: 1. Self Evaluation: Before you can determine where you need to go, you must first determine where you are. Get into the right mindset and take time to evaluate yourself, and then determine your desired destination. No matter the obstacles or difficulties during this process, you MUST commit to doing what is necessary to achieve the desired results. I suggest using the S.A.I.D approach in this phase. Strengths- What do you feel yours are? What do others perceive them to be? Achievements- What are the top 10 achievements in your life? Importance- What things are of most importance to you in life? Destination- What are your goals? Set them and write them down. Be specific! The key is to program your mind for what you wish to achieve by making a solid commitment and staying focused on just that goal. Its okay if you get a bit discouraged as long as you stay on task, and as you begin to discover yourself, your confidence will naturally begin to develop. 2. Take Baby Steps: As you set small goals, achieve them and celebrate your successes and as you do that, you will gain more self confidence. And in seeing the success of your efforts, you will become more positive about your actions. Its imperative to remain positive throughout this entire process even if you become frustrated or discouraged. It will be much easier to get back on track if you dont focus on your setbacks. 3. The Finish Line: Hopefully by now you have challenged yourself and experienced some success by setting and achieving self confidence goals and in doing so, your level of confidence is growing to levels you never thought possible. However, now is not the time to get comfortable. Take the next step and challenge yourself even more and push out of your comfort zone once again. With every step toward success, take yet another step up and set your goals a little higher. The key is saying to yourself each day, I can do this! Once the concept sinks in you will see that self confidence is nothing more than a mindset; a way of thinking -- an attitude. If you believe you can accomplish something, your subconscious mind will work overtime to achieve it. Follow these simple steps, constantly push forward and challenge yourself everyday to succeed and you will soon be on the right path to having an Attitude of Success!About the Author:
