4 Simple Steps to help an Introvert achieve Success

By Daniel Carlson


Believe it to be true or not, some of the most prosperous people you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and achieve success in an industry that seems aimed at loud, outgoing folks?

Here are 4 straightforward steps that can be useful.

1. Affirmation.

The really important thing is to triumph in the fight of perspective. Affirmation are simply positive things that you assert aloud to yourself every day. This is often very hard at times because you may not actually believe what you say. So why would you say something to oneself that you don't believe? Heightened confidence to step out has to begin with you. Therefore if you're shy and threatened by people, begin to say something like the following: "I am NOT shy and I am Really not intimidated by folks. I'm Very confident when I get around people."

Repeat this to oneself aloud at least 10 times before you leave your room. When you say this, don't simply mumble it either, say it as many times as obligatory till you are saying it with eagerness and conviction.

2. Read to grow.

Again, heightened confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for no less than 30 minutes that will help you raise your self image. This may be an article, a book, or maybe an audio series. The more that you learn the more you will grow. The more you grow, the more your self-image will improve.

3. Do something every day.

Do something each day, starting with something tiny, that at once deals with your low self-confidence. For instance, if you can't talk with folk as you feel insecure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfy with this, then begin to make small talk. You'll begin to feel more confident and more assured until one day, you will find that you have overcome low self image in that area.

4. Stop the destructive feelings.

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

A smart way to do this is with a rubber band! Put an elastic band around your wrist. Each 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 elastic tie on your wrist.

You could be snapping that band till your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you'll stop the destructive feelings because you do not need to harm your wrist anymore.

These four steps will help you raise your self confidence and get more confident stepping out. Just remember this: you are not going to modify over night. It will take some time but so long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
