How to believe in yourself could be a question that confounds you when you don’t find yourself special, unique or have any attributes that make you stand out. Believing can feel “hard” when you perceive that you have got nothing to show for. As someone who has wrestled with low confidence for years, I understand how difficult it must be to know where to start.
How do you even begin the process of believing in yourself? If you tend to downplay yourself in every way, believing in yourself can be a difficult exercise. Well, I would like to share what has worked for me with some of the tips in this post.
Resigning yourself that you will never find out how to believe in yourself is not the answer. You already know by now what low confidence can do to you. The outcome is downright miserable.

Positive affirmations for women are helpful to use if you are struggling with limiting beliefs due to gender issues. For instance, do you have the view or negative self-talk that you are less deserving of success, less worthy of respect or that you can’t make as much money because you perceive yourself to be the weaker sex? Or that you need to be of certain body proportions to qualify as being more attractive?
Well, what you say to yourself is backed by the limiting beliefs that you hold. Hence, I suggest changing your thought patterns so that you can bring about a more balanced state of empowerment. Your beliefs have an impact on your life experiences.
You can find yourself experiencing low self-esteem, poor body image, inability to accept aging as you approach your 40s or 50s and difficulties with manifesting money and abundance. As I have found from working with others, more women than men tend to struggle with issues related to gender roles because of the disparity in society’s expectations of them.If you have immense challenges with accepting and appreciating your role as a woman, I recommend using positive affirmations to reverse old thinking.
Amy started to experience money struggles the moment when she wanted to make the transition from executive to entrepreneur.
A pretty lady in her 30s, Amy is from a middle-income family. From external appearances, she seemed to be doing fine…except that in the six months prior to us working together, she had been struggling. No one except her husband knew about her feeling broke and depressed.
For months, Amy had worked hard at getting her business off the ground.
There were a lot more to each marketing strategy that she had at first realised. It was not long before doubt started to creep in. She went into emotional overwhelm.
Do you have a part of you that does not believe that you can build a thriving business from your soul gifts?
Perhaps, you have psychics or even coaches telling you what your soul gifts are and about how you should simply step into your unique brilliance and do work that you love. Or about how deserving and worthy you are of all that abundance.
Except that you don’t totally believe that it is true.
Definitely, NOT 100% on your belief scale!
As you reflect over on the gifts, skill sets and what you have to offer in the world, you are feeling as if you are “nothing special” or that there is “nothing unique” about you.
Are you currently in the stage where you are ready to give up on your business?
My suggestion: Not just Yet.
Not until you have finished reading this post on 3 Feet from Gold.
“Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost in rich.” – Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
The story 3 Feet from Gold is a story that has kept me inspired over the years. It is a tale that has kept me going on as an entrepreneur, especially during challenging times. As with many business owners, my journey has not always been that smooth. I have been through feast-famine cycles and everything in between.
“Before success comes in anyone’s life, that individual is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a person, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to QUIT. That is exactly what the majority of people do.” Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill
I hope to share with you what has helped me all this time, if you have not heard this story or read the classic Think and Grow Rich book. The entrepreneurial mindset of not giving up has kept me in the game. It has helped me build tenacity even when times are difficult.
Are you in the journey of abundance alchemy?
Are you a coach, healer, holistic entrepreneur or someone who is awakening in consciousness and hoping to create a full life?
Where there is the aim of finding treasure (seeking a life of abundance), you are aligning with the archetype of an abundance alchemist. Alchemists do not just exist in the past. The principles of alchemy largely apply in this modern day and age too.
Allow me to explain.
Elmer Zabala, a Money Coach from Philippines, has excellent potential but found it hard to commit to his success due to his fears. The outcome from his fears showed up in inconsistent results. He experienced fluctuations in income that were tied to his fears. Even though Elmer was part of a team of motivated individuals, he still found it challenging to improve his performance. He had his own unique challenges that needed to be addressed at the root.
Listen in to his story…
I am so excited to be sharing a series of video testimonials from course participants of the Money Magnet Success group program. We have just ended the first run that started in April. I thought it would be nice to have the participants review about how they found the program after 10 weeks of working together. Here’s how Rita found her experience and breakthrough…
Never underestimate the impact of money leaks for they could drain your financial wallet. Money leaks can add up to a lot over time. It is easy to overlook them because the amounts going out usually start as small. However, where they are recurring, money leaks become major. Recurring expenses have a compounding effect over days, months and years.
It’s like having a water bill that is rising from just having a tiny leak in the toilet. Drip…drip…drip…day by day. Before you know it, you find yourself wondering why your cash outflow gets to such a big sum. It’s like having holes in the pocket. You may have stuffed stacks of cash inside but oddly enough, some have disappeared.Continue reading
Are you caught in a feast-famine money cycle that bring you into the highs of having lots of cash, followed by crashing lows where perhaps even paying the rent becomes a problem?
The money drama is almost like a thriller with treacherous peaks and valleys.
It keeps you engaged. Nail biting. Hooked.
Except that you are not watching a movie.
This is for real.
You are living it in high speed and great intensity.
And it is a drama on repeat.
The Entrepreneur’s Feast/Famine Money Cycle
The feast/famine cycle is what a lot of entrepreneurs go through.
There could be periods where life is great, clients coming in and you are spending cash like you are living in a lap of luxury.
Then, there are periods where no one is knocking on your door, the cash register is not ringing merrily and money is scarce.
It is a cycle because one period will follow the next and then back again – on autopilot.
