4 Easy Steps to help an Introvert be Successful

By Daniel Carlson


Believe it to be true or not, some of the most successful folk you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and attain success in an industry that seems geared toward loud, outgoing folk?

Here are 4 simple steps that can be useful.

1. Affirmation.

The most important thing is to win the fight of mindset. Affirmation are simply positive things that you are saying aloud to yourself each day. This can be extraordinarily hard on occasions because you may not really believe what you are saying. So why would you say something to oneself that you do not believe? Raised confidence to step out has to start with you. So , if you are shy and intimidated by folks, begin to say something similar to the following: "I am NOT shy and I am Really not intimidated by folk. I'm Extremely confident when I get around people."

Repeat this to yourself out loud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you say this, don't just mumble it either, say it as many times as required until you say it with passion and conviction.

2. Read to grow.

Again, heightened confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for a minimum of 30 minutes which will help you raise your self-esteem. This may be an article, a book, or even an audio series. The more that you learn the more that you will grow. The more you grow, the more your self-confidence will improve.

3. Do something every day.

Do something each day, beginning with something little, that directly deals with your low self-esteem. For instance, if you are unable to talk with people as you feel insecure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfortable with this, then begin to make chit-chat. You'll start to feel more assured and more confident till one day, you will find that you have overcome low self-esteem in that area.

4. Stop the negative thoughts.

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

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

You may be snapping that band until your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you may stop the negative feelings because you do not need to harm your wrist any longer.

These four steps will help you increase your self confidence and become more assured stepping out. Just remember this: you aren't going to switch over night. It will take some time but so long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
