Women in Business: How to Build Your Confidence

It is a strange fact of our world that despite half the population of the planet being female, it is still seen as necessary to remind the other half that they are just as qualified and able to do a job as they are. This is particularly true within the business world: despite the fact that the main characteristics required are mental, for some reason there are much more men than women succeeding in this area. This is generally because women are not encouraged to consider owning or running a company of their own as a legitimate goal, and that is exactly what we want to change.

Many people believe that women simply do not have enough confidence to enter into the hectic world of business ñ either because they were told that they could or should not, or because they struggled to be taken seriously by high ranking men that saw her as merely a secretary, rather than a legitimate business partner. However, it is totally possible for any woman to build her confidence, and make it much easier for her to find her dream job in the role that she knows she can excel in.

The first step to self-confidence is literally that: giving yourself confidence. You need to believe in yourself, and your abilities, because if you do not, who else will? Each and every time that you realize you are putting yourself down, remind yourself of exactly how great you are, how hard you have worked, how much you love what you are doing. And think about how far you have come ñ and how much further you know that you can go.

Next, break down your goals into smaller, more achievable steps. It is all very well to say that you want to own a company, but first, consider what experience you will need. How can you get that in the next year? When you do achieve this goal, you will not only feel great, but you will visibly be able to see yourself move closer and closer to your dream. Make sure that you always have weekly do to lists to keep you on track.

And lastly, seek out a mentor: a woman or man in your area of business that can encourage and guide you through the complications of your working life. Being in business is naturally challenging, and you want to know that you have someone great in your corner to really support you.
