Many people lack one thing to achieve a result in their business - to get rid of self-doubt. Below are four tactics that famous personalities have shared with the author of the G8 book that can help you.
1. Reception "I've already been through this"
When doubts overwhelm you, look back and remember your successes and achievements. Do not delve into the past, but recall the situations from which you emerged victorious. Tell yourself, “I’ve done this before. I can do it this time too. " This technique works, for example, with the golf legend Tiger Woods. He says that when he makes the last decisive blow, driving the ball into the hole, he thinks to himself: “You have done this a thousand times. Relax, come and hit the ball. " Diana Bean, Senior Vice President of Manulife, Canada, told me: “It's all about experience. At first you think, "I don't know anything about this and I will fail the case." And then you figure it out, do it and move on to the next problem. Again you realize that you don't know anything about her, but you assure yourself that you will figure it out and cope with it. "
2. Reception "Overcome your doubts"
You forget about the doubts that torment you and move forward at such a speed that they do not catch up with you. This technique is often used by the famous writer Stephen King. He says: “There are a million opportunities for self-doubt. If I write quickly, writing down the plot as it comes to mind, only checking the names and essential biographies of the characters, I manage to maintain the initial enthusiasm and at the same time escape the self-doubt that is just waiting for the moment. "
3. Reception "Balancing between confidence and doubt"
With its help, you suppress doubts in yourself by being confident in your work. Grammy award-winning musician and composer Gary Burton describes it this way: “I think every artist balances in evaluating his work from the fact that it is truly outstanding to the fact that it is worthless. Sometimes I say to myself: "Well, you gave a blunder."
And then I switch to something, do what I like, and think: “This is really great!” Seth Godin, a popular American author of business bestsellers and illustrations for them, also uses this technique: that I am writing a good book and that every page I create shows how stupid and morose idiot I am. " The trick to using this technique is to constantly balance between confidence and doubt. You can't stay on one side for too long.
4. Reception "Sleep your doubts"
Sheldon Wiseman, CEO of renowned Canadian animation studio Amberwood Productions, says:
“Of course, sometimes I have doubts about my own abilities. Sometimes they are very difficult, I can only wonder how I cope with them. I just do not let them crush me and try to quickly deal with them. Good sleep often helps. In the morning you get up fresh and ready to do whatever. "
