Preview of Van's Presentation on "You can Choose To Be Confident"

Are you confident that you can reach your goals? If not, then you're getting in your own way. Being confident is a choice that only you can make. When you choose to become more confident, you are opening the door to a more successful career and a more fulfilling life.

Being confident goes much deeper than just saying you are confident. You must believe in yourself and be passionate about it. You have to OWN it and LIVE it. Self-confidence is one of the most attractive qualities you can have, and it inspires people to believe in you. If you don't have confidence in yourself, then how can anyone else?

Take a few minutes to think about how your life would change if you decided to become more confident. One of my favorite thought leaders, Wayne Dyer, said, "Change the way you look at things and those things will change." I have heard plenty of success stories that happened because of confidence.

Once you decide to be and act more confident, you need to back it up by doing everything that you say you are going to do. If you don't keep your promises, your customers will lose confidence in you, and so will you. Believing you can do it is half the battle. The other half is making sure you always under promise and over deliver.
