4 Simple Steps to help an Introvert achieve Success

By Daniel Carlson


Believe it or not, some of the most successful people you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and become successful in an industry that seems aimed toward loud, outgoing folks?

Here are four simple steps that can be helpful.

1. Confirmation.

The most important thing is to win the fight of mindset. Affirmation are simply positive things that you are saying out loud to yourself each day. This is often very difficult at times because you may not really believe what you are claiming. So why would you say something to yourself that you don't believe? Raised confidence to step out has to begin with you. So , if you are shy and threatened by folks, start to say something like the following: "I am NOT shy and I am NOT intimidated by folk. I am Very confident when I get around people."

Repeat this to oneself aloud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you assert this, don't just mumble it either, say it as many times as required till you assert it with fervour and conviction.

2. Read to grow.

Again, raised confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for at least 30 minutes that may help you raise your self-image. This can be an article, a book, or maybe an audio series. The more you learn the more that you will grow. The more that you grow, the more your self-confidence will improve.

3. Do something each day.

Do something every day, starting with something small, that directly deals with your low self-confidence. As an example, if you can't talk with folks because you feel insecure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfortable with this, then start to make chit-chat. You'll start to feel more confident and more assured till one day, you'll find that you have overcome low self-esteem in that area.

4. Stop the destructive feelings.

Negative thoughts are like land mines. As soon as you step out to face your fear, a destructive thought comes and tells you that you can't do it and BOOM; you believe it and lose that round. As an alternative diffuse negative thoughts before they have a opportunity to do damage.

A smart way to do this is with an elastic band! Put an elastic band around your wrist. Every time a idea comes into your head that tells you that you can't do something, you'll never succeed, or anything negative, SNAP the rubber band on your wrist.

You could be snapping that band until your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you will stop the destructive feelings because you do not want to hurt your wrist any longer.

These steps will help you increase your self confidence and get more confident stepping out. Just remember this: you aren't going to switch over night. It'll take a little time but as long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
