Powerful Wealth Building Secrets - Secret # 11 - Is Self-Doubt Stopping Your Start?

IS SELF-DOUBT STOPPING YOUR START?

Is there a vision of something that you have been yearning to do, but have not started?
Why haven’t you?

Do you have a vision of some sort of accomplishment? Why are you not pursuing it?
Have you arrived at the person you want to be? If not, what are you waiting for?
It could very well be that you have self-doubt. At one time or another, self-doubt has even held back the most ambitious of people and put a pause in their wealth building. Sometimes it is very hard to believe in your ability to do everything you are dreaming about or striving to be.

As we grew up, sometimes the information that we received from those around us was encouraging and some was not encouraging or supporting. Sometimes we allow other peoples criticism and expectations of us bolster our self-doubt because we have a fear of making mistakes and their criticism that follows.

We know that everyone makes mistakes in their actions or decisions at some time or another. No one can always be right and make all their decisions or actions good ones. That is just not humanly possible.

Decisions will become much harder to make if we allow fear to get in the way. Mindset is a very important factor in wealth building and if we allow self-doubt and fear to take over, we may very well be setting ourselves up for failure without even knowing it.

Here are some ways to help you get through the feelings of self-doubt and have the creative and prosperous life you have envisioned for your wealth building.

  • Remind yourself of your accomplishments. Make a list of the things you have already achieved. If it helps, keep a day to day list of your accomplishments, no matter how small you may think they are.
  • Don’t beat yourself up. This may cause even more procrastination on your part. Step back and when you begin doubting yourself use self-talk in a gentle way, not a degrading way. Tell yourself it is ok to stumble and choose a smaller project that you will be successful at.
  • Make that smaller project a fun one. Do something you enjoy and just run with it. A positive attitude will help you get back on track and help to ease that self-doubt.
  • Acknowledge self-doubt and fear. Make sure you don’t put another label on it. Tell it like it is. Doing this will help you deal with your self-doubt and help you figure out ways to deal productively with it.
  • Find a mentor. Everyone should have a mentor so they will have someone positive to model themselves after. When you have support around you that is positive that mindset is contagious. This is the go-to person for when you start having those doubts. Remember, most self-doubt and fears about making decisions are imaginary and your mentor will help to see you through those difficult times.
I hope these few ideas will help move you forward in your quest of wealth building.
