All you need to know to be confident in your business

Be confident in your business.

Now, here’s my question. How confident do you feel in sharing your work?

If you’d asked me that question one year ago, I probably would have told you about my fears and hesitations around showing up and talking business.

So if you’re facing the same situation, I can feel you.

The first time I started talking about my coaching programme, I felt embarrassed and inarticulate the whole time I spoke. Not to talk about my language anxiety: “what will they think of my English…?” and negative self-talk.

Personally, just the thought of taking the phone and thinking about what to say made me feel uncomfortable and unsure of what I was doing.

On the other hand, I committed to keeping showing up.

To keep playing the piano, regardless of my level of confidence.

Today, I know this vital truth.

Feeling confident in your business is not something you get in advance.

It is something that comes from having an experience of an outcome.

That’s why confidence comes after, whether it’s talking about how you can help or inviting someone to hop on a call with you, and there’s no shortcut to that.

The moment I started embracing this shift, things moved.

In today’s blog article, I want to guide you in this self-improvement journey and share what I have personally learned from it.

Right. Let’s get straight to it!

Here are five powerful ways to help you embrace the power in you and feel more confident in your business.

Be clear about your business

Knowing and understanding your ideal audience is key to being confident in your business.

I can say that this is one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned so far.

Looking back to my coaching journey, I struggled to describe my work with clients and the transformation I wanted to provide.

Beneath all that, I didn’t feel truly comfortable with myself.

Over time, it’s become clear to me that being confident in telling people what you do, is taking the time to reflect on questions like these.

  • What’s the work you’re doing with your client?
  • How might they describe the benefits of working with you?
  • What was the reason they finally decided to seek out someone like you?

Once I could see all of that, everything was much clearer.

I started trusting that others would recognize the value of my help and felt more confident when showing up and telling people about my work.

Everything is born from having that clarity.

With clarity comes confidence.

Speak with certainty

Certainty.

If there’s one thing I learned about being confident in your business, it is to speak with certainty.

At the beginning of my coaching practice, I struggled to tap into that mindset zone.

I believed in myself, but I struggled to find a way to show confidence in my work, trapped into my internal stories. “Don’t know if I can say that…”

I got so nervous about my fears and whether I was really “worthy”.

The moment I started to look at the reality in front of me and bring certainty, I felt more freedom and harmony in myself.

The Prosperous Coach opened my eyes to this great truth.

When you fill your conversations with the work you’ve done, you show up in your power because of the certainty in what you do.

I mean, you don’t need to believe in yourself to say: “I know I can help you with…”.

The more you connect with the things you’re sure about, clients you have, accomplishments they’ve achieved, the more you will feel confident in your business.

From now on, that’s your discipline.

Challenge your thoughts

What about that little voice in your head that keeps repeating: “What they would think about me if I talk about my services?” What about the voice that keeps saying, “I don’t know if she might be interested in my help…”.

I’m very familiar with that feeling, the feeling of doubting everything around what you do.

I know we tell us crazy stories around business, and those limiting beliefs are the ones that are sabotaging your confidence.

All that limiting beliefs are, are just stories that we keep thinking over and over again.

Your job is to challenge those thoughts and start telling yourself the reality constantly.

To help you get a clear idea of how you can do it, here’s an example of one of my most significant limiting beliefs around money that I had when I started making proposals.

“If I tell them to make an upfront payment, they won’t accept…”

Your job is to ask yourself the absolute truth.

  • Is there any ultimate truth to this belief?
  • Can you absolutely know that is true?
  • Or it is just a story?

Start to eliminate what’s holding you back from being confident in your business.

Prove them wrong, and your confidence will rise.

Stop comparing yourself to others

If you’ve been comparing yourself to others, please, don’t do it anymore.

You are time precious, and here’s the truth.

There’s nothing to compare with anyone.

What if I told you there’s an easy fix to this?

When I talk to clients about the comparison game, I often share the power to say no to start screwing yourself over and over again.

Everything it’s a choice.

I invite you to choose the reality.

My invitation is to get back to what you want.

To choose your story and embrace who you are.

To enjoy the beauty of your strengths and weakness.

Being confident in your business starts with you.

Next time you look at someone’s profile, choose the other path.

Look at that thought, and replace it with: “I can do it too”.

Take action

Actions, not words, change your thoughts.

That is what makes you great.

The most powerful thing you can do to feel more confident in your business is to start looking for courage and manifest fearlessness.

“The only impossible journey is the one you never begin” – Tony Robbins.

Of course, taking action requires commitment, but that’s the key.

When you’re fully committed to being confident in your business and taking inspired actions, you will experience a breakthrough in your life.

Trust the process, and allow the universe to support you.

So, there you have it!

I promise if you apply these disciplines, you will instantly feel more confident in your business, embrace the power in you and increase abundance in your life.

All right, now it’s your turn.
