One Easy Way to Build Your Business Confidence

Scenario: "Dude, I hate my business abilities. I'm so not confident in that and in my life right now. Like, I'm so not. Yay!"

If you need confidence to build a kick-ass business, how do you get it easily?

The cliche goes: If you don't believe in your business, who will? Sure, when you start, you're that confident bastard who declares from rooftops that you'll change the world overnight. But when that doesn't happen, your confidence starts to dissipate. It happens to all of us.

The confidence phenomenon.

Each setback -- every littly itty single one of 'em -- reduces our confidence levels. So what can you do this relaxin' day to improve your confidence in your business and your life? One sweet lookin', sexy word:

Posture.

That is -- and you can do this in several varying ways:

1. Just sit up straight.
2. Or, straighten your spine.
3. Or, imagine the sky has a string attached to the top of your head.
4. Or, think you're Superman.
5. Or, think you're the mother ^@!$^% sexiest person alive known to mother $^@%@^ mankind.

We wouldn't BS you, would we?

Nope, you badasses: we wouldn't. In a study of women between ages 25 and 55 who improved posture (and the study still applies to you men) , Reposturing Dynamics's Researcher Aaron Parnell links posture to confidence (a.k.a. self-esteem):

100% of the participants showed remarkable improvements in their self-esteem. Good posture emanates positive feelings in personal strength and self awareness, which lead to higher self esteem. Conversely, poor posture appears to lock negative emotions in the body, leading to poor body-image and lower self-esteem.

Some More Tidbits:

• 100% of the women reported they were much more bold and willing to take risks at work.
• 80% of them said they had more energy and some were even jumping out of bed in the mornings.
• Each woman also said she is more self-accepting and more comfortable now that she is more in touch with her body.

Yeah, you could read all the 300-page "How-to-Boost-Confidence" books you want, but you could just follow this tip:

To improve confidence -- and take a step closer to becoming a business badass, think posture.

(It'll make you look sexy too. Troof.)
