Believe In Yourself – Are You Doing It Wrong?
Sun, Apr 26, 2009
How can there be a wrong way to believe in yourself you are probably asking.
Believe it or not, there can and many of you are making the mistake every day.
And then wondering why you can't focus, get no where and feel scattered.
THE FIRST THING TO ASK YOURSELF…
Do you have a direct line in or when you 'believe in yourself', do you subconsciously check with someone else first?
Here are a few examples…
When you think about your business or sit down to get to work, is your mind running these checks behind the scenes?
- Niche peers and competitors. How do I compare. And more importantly, what would they think?
- Gurus and Mentors. Am I doing what they say? Don't they know everything? Who am I to use my own brain and common sense?
- Parents, family and friends. Are they going to be reading this stuff? What will they think. Will they laugh. Mock. Make a spoof on uTube? Maybe they are right.
- Joe off the street. What will he think? Who am I to offer my experience and expertise. I'm just a girl – or boy – doing the best I can. What do I know?
If these things run in the background of your mind, you are taking a detour through f.e.a.r. that needs to be rerouted today.
WHAT COUNTS?
What counts is your true faith in yourself and your abilities.
That's it.
That's self belief.
That's what will carry you through.
That's what will give you focus.
That's where you will find your 'stuff'.
That's what you have to offer.
If you are looking for self belief in any other place, chances are that you really don't have much to offer on the surface. Because that's where you are looking.
Go within yourself.
That's where the treasure is.
Tap into it and share it.
That's self belief.
Now I'd like to invite you to receive your weekly boost of encouragement, information and support to help you to start right and get to the finish line with your weekly dose of work at home sanity.

I believe in myself more than others and anything in my life. Five years ago, I started my internet jobs/tasks. Believe me, nobody was happy and I have to fight. My mom did something great at that time and she was on my back to support. Anyways, I believed in me and now all of those people are wanting me to teach internet lifestyle. Thanks to me.
I’ve worked with many people working from home and trying to start up home based businesses. The ones that believed in themselves without any wavering were the ones that were successful. They would keep pushing themselves and do all they had to in order to succeed. One thing you always have to remember about any belief is that it requires action. If you love yourself and believe in yourself you will not let yourself down. You will do what you have committed yourself to do.
