Worldnet dictionary defines self confidence as "Freedom from doubt, belief in yourself and your abilities." It is a myth that confidence is the opposite of humility. Confidence is an opinion you have of yourself. The thing about confidence is that you can actually get it by what others think/feel about you. Confidence effects how you see yourself, the belief you have about your ability and character. Confidence is contagious and so is lack of confidence.

Most people don’t stop and think on how they talk to themselves. If you listen to yourself talk, you can then change it as necessary to help you improve/change your behavior/results, accomplish your goals, and form new beliefs to affect your behavior. Just like you are what you eat, you are what you think. We are usually not aware of the automatic negative self talk that goes in our heads. By learning how to recognize what is going on, you can alter negative self talk, to positive self talk. Here are some common automatic negative self talk phrases you may have told yourself or heard other say that limit a person… According to Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D., Author, and Self Talk Expert “Our own Self- Talk creates the words that create the visual pictures for us. All we have to do is begin by creating the right words. When we do, the internal picture of the goal follows naturally.”

The transition from college to a career is just as big from when you left high school to go to college. As with any journey, it takes proper planning.

Many people who set goals run into hidden obstacles that throw them off track. By becoming aware of the disciplines you keep, actions, thoughts you focus on, can help make sure you don’t get totally sidetracked. The purpose of this eBook will help you identify the obstacles between you and your goal, and then come up with action steps to deal with each obstacle as it comes up, so you keep making progress instead of being blocked along the way. Next, it’s all well and good to set goals, but unless you take it a step further, you can get stuck over and over and not know why. That’s because of your self talk mental programs. Growing up everything we’re told about ourselves from day one gets programmed into our mental computers and acted on as though it’s true—even when it’s not! We all get programmed with beliefs about ourselves over time that may or may not be true about us. We’re told early on in our lives, what we can and can’t do—and our own mental programs pick up on that and determine what we think we’re able to do later in our lives—or not.

In a traditional business, getting OTHERS to refer business to YOU is a common strategy/request from people. I totally disagree! It is not about getting someone to send YOU referrals, it’s all about putting OTHER people together, and YOU are the “referrer.” You are the QUARTERBACK! You should constantly lookout for ways to help people with their “missing pieces” and try to find ways to bring people together in win-win relationships, or in providing them with resources for which they are searching they may need.

Regardless on the path you take in life, we are always selling. We sell our self to get a job, we sell our self to get married…in any business nothing happens until a sale is made. With all things being equal, the person doing the buying first buys the character of the person selling to them before they buy the product/service. They buy the “PERSONS BRAND!”

When interviewing, they are not just interviewing you, you are interviewing THEM! In this e-book, I am going to cut the chase and get straight to the facts!

Your beliefs are the thermostat on what you accomplish in life. If you believe little, guess what, you will receive little. Now listen up, what I am going to tell you is very important….”The power behind believing is, the more you believe in your self, the more you become the person you believe in, also, the more you give your self messages of what you want to be, the more you live out those messages.” I repeat, ”The power behind believing is, the more you believe in your self, the more you become the person you believe in, also, the more you give your self messages of what you want to be, the more you live out those messages.”
