Building Self-confidence

by Rick Baker
On Mar 28, 2017

A strong desire to achieve promotes self-confidence.

Positive self-image and high self-esteem promote self-confidence. 

Sense of purpose and goals promote self-confidence. 

A commitment to take action promotes self-confidence. 

Affirmations promote self-confidence. 

Strong personal values for fair play promote self-confidence. 

Positive thinking, especially about other people, promote self-confidence.

Willingness to serve others promotes self-confidence.   

Truthfulness promotes self-confidence.

A keen sense of justice promotes self-confidence. 

'Planning your work and working your plan' - that also promotes self-confidence. 

These are some of the important messages Napoleon Hill embedded in his Self-confidence Formula. Hill understood self-confidence is a fragile thing...easily disrupted...time-consuming to build...energy-consuming to hold fast. 

Self-confidence is a habit. It is a good habit. 

Good habits don't just happen. Good habits require planning. Good habits require ongoing work.

HI Rick,

Thanks for this post on self-confidence. Recently, my wife and I had a conversation about this and how we both struggle in this area from time to time.  Your list for promoting self-confidence demonstrates that setting a goal to improve confidence is highly achievable.  Most importantly, relating it to a good habit convicted me to intentionally put more time to practice in this area.  Thank you!

You are welcome, Bryan,. And thank your for sharing your thoughts. It seems to me we all struggle with self-confidence, at least, from time to time. I have found good-old-fashioned self-talk keeps self-confidence at the high end of the range. Also, I buy into Brian Grazer's view that curiosity helps build self-confidence. 'A Curious Mind' (2015), by Brian Grazer [the famous movie producer] and Charles Fishman.
