One of the most important and valuable skills you can learn in life and in your career is to be confident in yourself, your work and your decisions. You could produce the same results as others but if you are more confident than others, you will probably get the attention that you want and need. There are a few basic

Learn to calm down

One of the most obvious answers is to learn how to calm down. The most obvious way that people label you as being untrustworthy or unsuccessful is if you are nervous or fidgety than you will come off as unconfident. If you look unconfident it can look like you have something to hide. Learn how to keep yourself calm and collected. Once you can learn how to keep your nerves at bay and take deep breaths you will look less than credible. Being collected indicates to other that you are confident in yourself even if you don’t feel it yourself.

Keep your mind and body healthy

It may seem non-related but having your mind and body in optimal shape will make a huge difference. Most people think that they should forego going to the gym or meditating because they can use that time working or doing something else. But think of it this way. In any task you do you use the same set of tools, your mind and your body. Exercising, meditating, and spiritual enlightenment are the things that sharpen and improve your mind and body. When your mind and body are in their best state, all task are achieved at a higher level.

Don’t compare

This one is easier said than done. The sooner that you can learn to stop comparing yourself to others. Every single person is different and has different strengths and weaknesses. The fact that someone has different strengths than you, does not mean that you are inferior, you are unique in your approach to your problems. Not everyone has the same challenges or situation. It is true that sometimes things are unfair, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot be hyper successful. The timing might be different for some people and that is ok, learn to focus on yourself and be the best you possible and celebrate others being the best them possible.

Learn Extreme responsibility

One of the key differences between the killer confident people and the impish fearful people is that the confident learn to take extreme responsibility. That means that they make zero excuses for themselves. They take full responsibility for everything in their life. Even things that are out of their control, they learn to take responsibility for that outcome as well. By taking extreme responsibility, you learn to take control of your thoughts and actions. When you feel in control of your outcomes you feel like you are able to do what it takes to get where you want to go. Just because you take responsibility doesn’t mean that things will perfectly, but it improves the likelihood that you try your hardest to do better.
