No matter what you do for a living, having confidence is important for many reasons, but mostly it's because no one wants to do business with someone who lacks confidence in themselves, or in what they're selling.
And it's just as important if what you are selling is your writing.
If you lack confidence, it will show in your writing and in all your communications.
I often get emails from people offering me their publishing/proof-reading/graphic services and I delete them simply because the person comes across as simpering or desperate or unknowledgeable.
Instead I prefer to hear from someone who is sure about what they are trying to sell and know their product well. It makes me feel safe to do business with them.
So when you're writing, have confidence in what you're saying. Not only will it make your writing stronger and give the reader confidence in what you're saying, but it also makes you come across as really intelligent.
But how do you get the confidence you need?
There's a popular saying, "fake it till you make it."
Best selling author Joe Vitale calls it Nevillizing.
The term comes from his book The Attractor Factor: 5 Easy Steps for Creating Wealth (or Anything Else) From the Inside Out. He named this method after Neville Goddard, a very inspiring self-help author, and chapter 4 of this book (it's one of my favourite books) is all about how to Nevillize.
Nevillizing uses creative visualization for attracting anything that you want in your life. It uses vivid images to create a virtual reality of living the end result of anything that you want to achieve.
Nevillizing means living the emotions of already being who/where you want to be.
So if you want to be a best selling author, imagine yourself as having already sold a million copies of your books.
How confident would you be writing a blog post if you'd already achieved your writing and publishing dream of being a millionaire author?
THAT'S the confidence you need to write with.
And the time to start doing it is now.
