This is for people who are confident enough. This is for the people who have enough achievements and milestones and have found their niche in this world to prove their self-worth. People like you. You know that you have done a great job in getting where you are and yet, you also know that there’s still a way to go. You are in a good place. Acknowledging what you have and what you need is very important to getting where you want to be.
You are most probably in a plateau, where it is high enough to see the bottom. You must be reflecting and reliving the climb. If you’re thinking of a job, looking back to your first day in the office could be amusing. If you’re unto a business, the day you start off the enterprise is something every entrepreneur is proud of. Now, if you’re concerned about your confidence as a person, a lot of us will mark first year high as ground zero. Whatever it is, all of that is way behind you.
Now, you’re looking at taking up new heights. Is that a major job promotion? Is it a career change? Or is it a massive business expansion? Or you just realized that you have found your perfect partner in life and all you need to do is to let her know? That’s tough. You’re already seeing the journey and challenges ahead. You’re probably weighing the risks, being the practical person you are.
As you might already know, this is not a question of choosing the right decision. It’s not a matter of what, or which but a question of when. You know that you have to take the step. You have to act now, if not, then maybe tomorrow or next week. You know that if you don’t make the move, you’ll be stuck forever in your plateau, or slide back to where you’ve started. There are no choices.
So what’s holding you back? Right, it’s the confidence. You know you are good; in fact you are confident that you are great where you are right now. That is mainly the reason why you are contemplating on taking on another level up. You consider yourself capable enough to handle bigger things. You think you’re ready for better things.
What you are afraid of is how you will fit in your new position. Will you be a good boss as you’ve been a good follower? Will the girl like you as someone more than a friend? Can you manage a corporation as well as the medium business enterprise you started with? Will you be a success? That is the real issue, right?
Getting out of our comfort zone can be intimidating. Achievers don’t want to fail. Nobody wants to fail. Nobody wants to slide back down the ladder of success. But whose ladder is that? Who set the measure of success for you? Is it your father? Are you conforming to the society’s established yardstick of achievement? Or is it just your own idea of what is successful and what is not?
If you’re thinking of other’s opinion and measures of success, then any change for you will be hard. You will forever be driving yourself to succeed. And once you achieve something, people will expect you to get more. That expectation will drive the pressure. Pressure and fulfillment have never abided with each other.
Focus on what you want. What makes you happy? Who are you as a person? Are you whole enough that you don’t need the outside world to spell out your happiness? Are you considering the position because you think you can serve the company better? Will you be happy even if the girl opted to be just your friend? Are you worried because you might fail them?
To be more confident is to simply create an empire, then make yourself king. It’s easy, let us teach you how. For starters, you can contact us to set your appointment for a free coaching session.
