One of the things I often hear often from young corporate professionals & budding entrepreneurs is that they have this big idea in their head, they know in their heart that they can make it happen, but “my parents don’t think I can make money as an entrepreneur, my girlfriend used to support me regarding my job change but no more. My friends think I am crazy. They don’t believe in me!”

Have you ever heard this phrase: “They don’t believe in me!” Have you ever said this phrase? 

The first thing I always teach people during my “Live & Lead with Excellence” seminar is that the starting point of any kind of Success, Achievement, and Excellence is believing in yourself. Moaning and complaining “They don’t believe in me!” is only making you feel weak. Because it’s not about whether THEY believe in you, it’s about whether YOU believe in yourself. There is an African proverb that says: “If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do you no harm.” I am not saying that just if you believe in yourself, all things will fall into place. No! You will have to work hard, you will have to persist. Yes, you will have to meet a lot of oppositions. Fact is, when you go after your big goals and dreams, almost none is going to believe in you. But they will, once you achieve it and make it visible.

 “Your big goal is a source of laughter for many, UNTIL it’s achieved. Once achieved, it’s no more a   source of laughter. Now it  becomes a source of inspiration.”                                                                                                                                                                                                            ---Bishal Sarkar  

What’s the big goal you are working on right now? A new job? Making your business successful? Becoming the richest person in your society? Losing weight and staying super-fit? Whatever your success looks like to you, remember that you need to believe in it, you have to believe in yourself first. Here are three easy-to-do-and-also-easy-not-to-do steps you can take for increasing your self-belief:

1. Make a list of 5 things you have achieved in the past and you are proud of. This list will give you the confidence to go ahead
2. Constantly, daily, listen to Positive Mental Attitude, Success related audio tapes. 15 minutes after waking up, and for 15 minutes before going to bed at night. This 30-minute program will increase your self-image. Remember, whatever you hear the longest becomes the strongest
3. Surround yourself with people who have already done what you want to do.They will constantly challenge you to be more, do more and achieve more. Stay away from naysayers. Because you become like who you stay with

Get ready for achieving true success and for showing continuous Excellence in your personal and professional life. Once you are consistent in following these three steps, you will feel more POWERFUL, less fearful and you will no more need the validation from others. You will never have to say “They don’t believe in me!”
