Do you have low or high self-confidence?
Do you have low or high self-confidence?
You can find out if you have low or high self-confidence by asking yourself the right questions.
If you have high self-confidence, you will agree with the following statements: on a scale from 1 to 5, how much do you rate yourself?
- I am eager to learn new things.
- I take pride in doing a good job and being a nice person.
- I can handle criticism without being too emotional.
- I know what things I am good at, and those that I’m not.
- It is okay if I win or if I lose.
- Before I do something, I usually think “I can do it.”
- I like to try to do things without help but, I don’t mind
asking for help if I really need it.
- I like myself.
Does this sound like you? If some of the items in this checklist
sound like you, that’s good… you’re developing self-confidence!
Remember to tell yourself everyday that you are a capable person!
Repeat 10 times “I like Myself!”, several times a day.
If this doesn’t sound like you at all, check out the following
questionnaire to find out if you have low self-confidenceIf you have low self-confidence, you might agree with the
following statements:- I do not like to try new things.
- I can’t do anything right.
- If my friends criticize me, I get very upset.
- I don’t know what I am good at.
- I have a hard time meeting new people or making friends.
- I am embarrassed to ask a question or speak up in a group.
- Before I do something, I may think “I can’t do it.”
- I don’t like to try new things unless someone shows me how to
do it first.
- I don’t like myself.
If many or all of these items sound like you, it will be helpful
for you to work on raising your self-confidence
Try these steps to boost your self-esteem and you will
automatically boost the level of self-confidence- Think positive thoughts about yourself! Focus on your strengths
not your weaknesses. Realize that you are better at some things
than others.
- Set realistic goals. This means not setting goals too high or
too low, but at a level you know you can reach. Then, you can
always strive to do better than your goal.
- Give yourself credit when you reach a goal and praise yourself
when you have done well. Have a party! who told you it was wrong?
- Learn to be assertive – express your thoughts, opinions,
needs, and feelings openly – but without abusing others’ rights.
- Don’t compare yourself to others - remember, you’re just fine
the way you are! Comparison is one of the first reason for low
self- esteem and depression. You think that others are better
than you. If you think so, you are probably right, but
actually, it’s totally wrong.
- Practice positive body language. Walk tall, don’t slump. When
your body says “I can” everyone will believe you can.Assess yourself on a regular basis. Ask yourself these questions.
Buy a book or a course on self-confidence and do the assessment
again to see if you improved. Learn from it and move on…

PS: I’m preparing a new product about self-esteem and
self-confidence… if you were to buy a course on this
specific topic, what would you like to be included?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and comments below
Self esteem often comes from from how you carry yourself. And always, when doing work for your client practice the ‘then somes’. In other words do a little extra in your work, at no extra charge, but it leaves a good impression. Someone once told me, ‘you don’t have to be that good, because everyone else is that bad’. Meaning that if you always do a quality job, and are the best at what you do, everything will fall in place…
Hello Emmanuel,
I was introduced to you via Charles Burke and then the Titus Factor. I run a self esteem/free school in Japan. Although I might not buy a product on self esteem, I have found that children and adults respond well to hands-on, workbook-type materials. I have a few, all in Japanese, but I think people would, for example, fill in a list of “100 goals” before they would just follow instructions to “get out a piece of paper and write 100 goals. Some people respond to workbooks better than merely(?) reading. For me, it helps internalize it to write it.
Feel free to email me if you would like to discuss further!

I would like to see a course about how to teach others self confidence.
My son has a confidence problem and is unwilling to listen to me as he is a teenager and knows it all.
I need a sneaky way to teach him confidence without him realizing he is learning from his old man.
