Highlights of the Lessons Learned:

Self-confidence is the most significant trait to succeed. The “Inner belief of I can do it” is the key to realize whatever has been planned ahead. In order to win over the wavering thoughts, business owner needs to have a perspective that anything along the way can be very tough but he/she can surely successfully do it no matter what it takes. The main steps to boost self-confidence may vary depending on whatever aligns to an individual or a business owner, however the basics are: Be Present – this means that business owners need to affirm on what he has right now, in order to actually imagine the success that he/she wanted. With that, they will be able to affirm that “I was there, and now I am here”, which implies a success indeed. Gratefulness – always be thankful and recognize or appreciate so you will be able to concentrate on the positive feelings rather negative ones. Meditate and Visualize – business owner must develop clear goals and he must fill his/her imagination of the best or phenomenal results of the set goals. Stepping Out of Comfort Zone – means you will never know what you can do – if you never give a try. This will eliminate your fear and will make you eventually realize that everything is possible as long as there is perseverance and courage to do it. In coaching, coaches should visualize positive or extraordinary results and take these as a“mission” for them to be accountable to achieve the expected results. Self-confidence must be paired with courage. This means avoid perfectionism as this will hamper one’s thoughts.
