4 Simple Steps to help an Introvert achieve Success

By Daniel Carlson


Believe it or disbelieve it, some of the most prosperous people you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and attain success in an industry that appears geared toward loud, outgoing folks?

Here are four simple steps that can help.

1. Affirmation.

The most important thing is to triumph in the fight of mindset. Confirmation are basically positive things that you assert out loud to yourself each day. This is often extraordinarily difficult on occasions because you may not really believe what you are saying. So why would you say something to oneself that you don't believe? Heightened confidence to step out has to begin with you. Hence 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 threatened by folk. I'm Totally confident when I get around people."

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

2. Read to grow.

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

3. Do something every day.

Do something each day, beginning with something little, that at once deals with your low self confidence. As an example, if you can't talk with folks as you feel insecure and inferior, just begin by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfortable with this, then start to make small talk. You'll begin to feel more assured and more assured till one day, you will find that you have overcome low self image in that area.

4. Stop the negative thoughts.

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

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

You could be snapping that band until your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you will stop the negative feelings because you don't want to hurt your wrist any more.

These steps will help you boost your self-esteem and become more assured stepping out. Just remember this: you are not going to switch over night. It'll take a little time but as long as you are progressing, you are on your way to success.
