How to Cultivate Confidence

How does confidence show up in your business? You could be thinking right now, "Shannon, I'm super confident in what I do and who I am as an entrepreneur." That's all fine and well, but you may still be exhibiting signs of a lack of confidence. It's all about how you're showing up.

This was one of the major blocks I faced in 2022 and I didn't even know I was facing it until my perspective shifted. People will buy from you when they know, like, and trust you. The more you know, like, and trust yourself, the easier it'll be to help others do so!

So how can you unlock confidence in your business? First, prove to yourself that other people are doing the thing you want to be doing. Then, find ways to create quick wins for clients and get feedback from them. The final thing I did may surprise you. I started using repel marketing, vocalizing who I did not want to work with, sharing the kind of work I did not want to do, and making it clear who was not quite ready for my services.

1. How can entrepreneurs build their confidence to command higher prices for their services?
