LESSON: 08

IMPROVE YOUR CONFIDENCE:

“Low self-esteem is like
driving through life with your
hand brake on.” “Maxwell
Maltz”

Nobody is born with limitless
self-confidence. If someone
seems to have incredible self-
confidence, it is because he or
she worked on building it for
years. Self-confidence is
something that you learn to
build up because the
challenging world of business
and life in general, can deflate
it.

Quran says, “O my Lord!
Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness.”
QURAN (SURAH TAHA: 25-26)

I am giving you some steps to improve your confidence.

1. GROOM YOURSELF:

This seems like such an obvious one, but it is amazing how much
of a difference a shower and a shave can make in your feelings of self-
confidence and your self-image. There have been days when I turned
my mood around completely with this one little thing.

2. Dress nicely:

A corollary of the first item above --- if you dress nicely, you
will feel good about yourself. You’ll feel successful and presentable and

ready to tackle the world. Now, dressing nicely means something
different for everyone … it doesn’t necessarily mean wearing a $500
outfit, but could mean casual clothes that are nice looking and
presentable.
