Favorite Self Confidence Quote
No one is you, and that is your power.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is believing in yourself enough to trust yourself, your intuition, your decisions and your own energy, regardless of someone else’s opinion.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Serena was very insecure. She constantly questioned everything from her outfits to her decisions about any aspect in life. She often felt very scrutinized or judged in social situations and usually wasn’t comfortable without some sort of buffer. It created a sense of fear inside her and she made a lot of decisions out of fear, or passed up on opportunities because of fear.
The “AHA” Moment
Serena successfully signed and negotiated a huge contract without any input from anyone else. This was less than 6 months after she had nearly died from haemorrhaging post-op from surgery and she was unable to fully use one of her arms for a few months. She didn’t think she would be able to work as a chef and felt that she had lost value. But she shifted her focus and her career path to expand her business beyond the physical tasks as a private chef and caterer, to include consulting and curating programs for clients with specific needs. What she thought she lacked actually led her to a place that made her realize how much more value she had, and immediately her business grew.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Spiritually Serena has grown so much and her business has grown after what she discovered about herself.
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
