How to Establish your Self Confidence as an Entrepreneur

By Abe Cherian

It is only natural that when you start a business, you are

doing something different than most people. They not only

will look at you because you stick out like a sore thumb,

but human nature will cause people to naturally ridicule

what you are doing.



They will tell you all types of things like: "You're not

Business material." "You can't make a living working for

yourself." "You'll fail because nobody can ever make any

money that way."



Being an entrepreneur is not just about having a lot of

ideas or business sense. It is also about having a lot of

guts. You have to build self-confidence in yourself. You

have to only be concerned with pleasing yourself.



Then, when you should fail with this particular venture,

you'll just dust yourself off and start again. It doesn't

matter if people think you're nuts. They aren't paying your

rent and running your life. Don't be concerned with what

people "think" you should be.



Simply please yourself and do what you feel is right.

People are too busy competing with society and "keeping up

with the Jones's" that they do things they are not

comfortable with just to appease them and look normal

whatever that is.



And if you have to, start out small in building your self

confidence. I used to be so self-conscious that I would

never go to a public event alone because I thought people

would believe I was lonely and had no friends.



Unbelievable, but true. Everyday I worked on walking into

public places adjusting to their environment. I'd take a

magazine or would be by myself. I would glance around, and

to my amazement, no one ever looked at me. No one cared

that I was alone. Then it dawned on me. "Who cares what

these people think? I'll never see them again." Besides,

there were a lot of other people all by themselves also and

I could absorb myself in the magazine I had took to read.

Now I can enjoy the comfort of being by myself and not give

any thought to the people around me.



When most people do fail in business they try to "save

face" by telling everyone they are "just in a slump" and

every thing will be back to normal soon. Besides, they don't

want people to say: "I told you so" and destroy any pride

they are still hanging onto. Unfortunately, this only

delays the problem and creates even more false hope for the

people in your life as well as yourself.



The best thing to do for anybody in this catastrophe is to

swallow their pride and admit they screwed up. Just face it

head on! Admit that you were so proud of your

accomplishments that your mind became diluted with "visions

of sugar plums and fantasyland."



If your small business is beyond repair, go out and find a

job and begin working on your next small business in the

near future. Keep your family fed and your financial

obligations met but look forward to the day when you will

succeed with your new business venture.



And why should you try again? Simply because you won't make

the same mistakes you made this time. If you built

some thing successful before, but failed, you are certain to

build the next business stronger and wiser. Even if you

fail the second time, it won't be because of mistakes you

made the first time. You'll learn more and more and

eventually be successful.
