“What you think of yourself is much more important
than what others think of you.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca (3BC-65AD)
Roman philosopher and statesman

Do you believe you have what it takes to positively affect and influence others? Do you communicate with confidence or do you lack it?  Fact is, if you don’t believe in yourself and your ability, than there is little chance that others will believe in you. Fear, lack of confidence and indecision makes it almost impossible to sell, lead, manager, parent or coach. So if your objective is to sell a product, motivate a team, educate a child, or convince your spouse that you need a new kitchen, the first “thing” that others need to “buy” is YOU.  Which means YOU have to be confident in YOU. So this week, stop being a wimp, believe in yourself, and watch people follow. Because like Mom used to say, “There are only two types of people, leaders and followers.” Guess which type believes in themselves? Hmmm.
