Confidence; it gets you paid….
(And how do you ‘level up’ someone who has little/none)
When I came onto the copywriting ‘scene’
I came out swinging
My prices?
Premium
My service and work
The same
BUT
Even if it wasn’t (and 700k a month for my clients would say they were pretty good)
I instilled confidence in my clients because I was confident
They felt they had made a ‘smart buying decision’ and how I made them feel about their investment was just as important
No one is attracted to weakness
Confidence – in life and in business – is sexy
People are drawn to confidence
It’s attractive
To have and be around
Believe it or not?
I was a shy for a long time
It’s only when I was forced to go out on the street every day (when I was a headhunter) and I had to get an email address
Reason being they thought I was in my mid 20’s
I had just turned 19
They didn’t want me there
They wanted me out
I accepted it and did it
I was scared
I needed the money
I had no other choice
So every lunchtime I had to get an email address – that they would email – if it bounced back
I was sacked
So every day I had to and go out and somehow persuade a stranger to give me their email
It was hell
But I did it
And was one of the best things I’ve ever done
Works with the opposite sex too
Is anyone attracted to weakness?
I say no
Desperation
Neediness
Attention seeking
^^ all
Huge turn offs
Same in life
Same in business
Confidence kills in all aspects of life
Now, I’m fortunate to be able to work with hundreds and thousands of people – and this confidence issue I see time and time again
So how do you help someone be confident
Not project
Not ‘fake it till you make it’
Not act
Proper
100%
Internal
Complete
Confidence
How do you help someone own their life, and become the person they want to be instead of being crippled by their lack of confidence
I think it’s a massively important area and being confident (NOT arrogant – that’s for another discussion) is key to getting ahead in life
Self-Confidence Is The Key
