4 Easy Steps to help an Introvert be Successful

By Daniel Carlson


Believe it to be true or not, some of the most renowned folk you see are introverts. How did they use their introversion to their advantage and become successful in an industry that appears geared toward loud, outgoing folks?

Here are four simple steps that can be useful.

1. Affirmation.

The really important thing is to triumph in the fight of perspective. Affirmation are simply positive things that you are saying aloud to yourself each day. This can be extraordinarily difficult on occasions because you may not essentially believe what you say. So why would you say something to yourself that you don't believe? Increased confidence to step out has to start with you. Hence if you're shy and intimidated by people, begin to say something like the following: "I am NOT shy and I am NOT threatened by folk. I am Totally confident when I get around people."

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

2. Read to grow.

Again, increased confidence starts with you. Read something everyday for a minimum of 30 minutes that may help you boost your self-image. This can be an article, a book, or even 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. Take action every day.

Do something every day, beginning with something small, that immediately deals with your low self-esteem. As an example, if you can't talk with folk as you feel unsure and inferior, just start by saying 'Hi'. As you get more comfy with this, then begin to make chitchat. You will begin to feel more confident and more assured until one day, you will find that you have overcome low self-esteem in that area.

4. Stop the negative thoughts.

Unproductive thoughts are like land mines. As soon 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. As an alternative diffuse unproductive thoughts before they have got a chance to do damage.

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

You could be snapping that band till your wrist is red and sore. Before long though, you'll stop the destructive feelings because you don't want to harm your wrist anymore.

These steps will help you increase your self image and become more assured stepping out. Just remember this: you are not going to switch over night. It will take some time but so long as you are progressing, you are on the way to success.
