(I have my own personal definition on how to be confident, not politically correct, sorry.) 

"Self-confidence is being bold like after a bottle of vodka,

but with a clear brain and without the health effects."

And now your 100 tips:

1. BEHIND FEAR IS YOUR BIGGEST SUCCESS

If something scares you, it's good. The man or woman of your dreams won’t appear if you are comfortable. The project that will make you rich also will scare you. So your strategy is simple: if it scares you, you are in front of a great opportunity to build your self-confidence.

2. THE BEST TIP ON HOW TO BE CONFIDENT IS...

KNOWING OTHER´S FEAR!

You are not alone. If you observe others you will see they also have fear. And more than you, Yet your advantage is that you a taking action to gain confidence (otherwise you wouldn’t read this).

Only by trying, you will get bolder.

 3. YOUR BEST QUOTE TO BECOME CONFIDENT: IF YOU TRY TO BE SELF-CONFIDENT AND LOSE, YOU ALSO WIN

Only good things wait behind fear. If you try and fail, it’s good. So don’t focus on the result. Focus on your new knowledge, something 95% of people will never get.

4. EVERYBODY HAD LACK IN SELF-CONFIDENCE FIRST (ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE YOU ADMIRE)

The Joe Montanas, the Gandhis, the Michelangelos, or any talented person you admire also had fear. They failed and got rejected. But they continued facing fear. Self-discipline was the difference.

5. THE OPTION OF NOT TRYING IS BEING UNHAPPY

There is a bottleneck you must cross. Fear. Yet the other option is not achieving your dream and getting old fast.

6. BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE KNOWING THAT FEAR IS AN INHERITED MECHANISM (LIKE BEING HUNGRY)

You aren´t inferior. Fear is in your DNA. It was developed more than 100.000 years ago when we had to hunt to survive. So it’s stupid neglecting it.

7. HOW TO BE CONFIDENT FAST? FIRST MASTER SENSING FEAR

If you want to know how to be confident fast, first you must feel fear, sorry. People pursue self-confident as it were the Holy Grail. But to become self-confident, first you must go through fear. First you must touch that imposing dog and speak with that imposing person. Only then you will see it’s possible and become self-confident.

Saying you have no fear is bragging, as most people do, but so they only hide their problem and make it bigger.

8. ARE YOU AT YOU LOWEST POINT?
IT´S A VERY GOOD PLACE TO START TO GET CONFIDENT

Desperation can be the best thing that happens to you. Because there you see a 100% pure quality truth. A so agonizing truth, that you will dedicate body and soul to your highest goal.

On the bottom I stopped lying to myself, and from there I took action. And my life changed much faster starting from zero. There I took the exact measures. I didn’t say “I’m going to do better.” I took the specific measures, read the specific books, and developed the specific skills. I stopped lying to myself. There I discovered how to change my life.

So if you look at yourself and recognize "I´m lost," everything will change fast.

9. THE ONLY THING YOU MUST FEAR

There is only one thing that will make you succeed or fail.

Your reaction.

Do you want another good definition of confidence?

It´s reacting positively to your obstacles.

You can’t control what happens, but it’s what you do afterward what counts.

So if you react to fear as something normal, you control your reaction. And so you get the power. Goodby adversity! You will look at that imposing dog, or woman out of your league and do your job.

And as a side-effect, you will look much cooler and be the person to follow.

10. CONFIDENT MEN AND WOMEN RECOGNIZE THEIR  SITUATION

"Why do I lack confidence?" ask many people.

Because it´s NORMAL. I have fear, you have fear and everybody has fear. 

But we tend to think we are the only ones.

Yet observe that most people don´t even pronounce the word fear. Do you remember a conversation with your friends speaking about fear?

So take the shortcut, recognize your fear.

11. IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO BOOST YOUR CONFIDENCE

Whether you think you are too shy, too old, too short, or whatever (again: you think) limits you can solve it.

You can escape from the prison. Any goal is possible even if you think you are there lowest value person on earth.

(Tip: you aren’t.)

12. …YET SELF-CONFIDENCE BUILDING IS URGENT

Your priority must be practicing confidence, the sooner you begin the better. Otherwise you´ll self-sabotage yourself without knowing it. It’s really a priority because this will change everything.

Because what’s the other option? What’s the option of not facing fear?

13. WOMEN AND MEN WITH CONFIDENCE NEVER WAIT FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT

We tend to think great occasions will come in the future. Better times will come! Politicians will reinforce it so that you want them. You will try this and once you have a better job or win more money, you will try to be self-confident.

Yet, how to be confident if you never train your courage muscle?

Most people do the error of waiting for the perfect moment.

But the perfect moment never comes. So don’t wait for a better moment or your life will pass without achieving anything. The perfect moment is now. You have to commit errors and face fear. So in case of doubt follow only this:

THE DOORWAY IS FEAR

If something sounds too good from a third person, it´s a scam. Yet if you face fear, you will have a big reward. The worst that could happen? That you will earn a lot.

14. HOW TO GAIN MORE CONFIDENCE: DON’T MIX FEAR WITH COMMON SENSE

Many say fear is necessary to protect you. You need fear to avoid danger. So they don’t say their opinion, they don’t try the risky project, and they don’t touch the animal. It’s dangerous!

Big error.

Remember that if it hurts you get better.

Otherwise your life gets worse.

But don’t mix up things. If there are stupid guys who want to fight in a bar, you don’t need fear to not get into trouble. You only need common sense.

15. FACE FEAR AND YOU WILL ELIMINATE ALL ITS SECONDARY EFFECTS (AND THEY ARE A LOT)

Confront fear and you will eliminate stress, strokes, and depression.

It´s self-growth on steroids!

And you will also eliminate a personal life you hate because you don’t do what you want.

16. DON´T KNOW HOW TO BE CONFIDENT?

SIMPLY TRY!

Economic giants fail because nobody in the organization says the truth to protect their job. (Innovation in a corporate environment is a myth).

So lead by example saying the truth despite it hurts and you will save at least your own company, or your own department.

17. IT’S JUST THAT SECOND WHERE YOU ACT UNDER PRESSURE WHAT WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER LIFE 

You can have the knowledge and the contacts, but if you avoid the tough moment where you go to the scenario for that public speak or avoid the tense moment of approaching a new person, you will continue as a slave of your social circle, your boss and your monthly check.

You´ll never learn how to be confident if you avoid the tough moment.

18. SHOOT FIRST AND ASK LATER (THE ONLY MOMENT WHERE YOU CAN’T THINK)

When facing tension don´t think. Put your mind in blank and take the step.

Whether you want to cross a difficult moment playing basketball, managing your team, or practicing karate, there are always moments where you can’t think. You must try whatever the outcome.

You will have time enough to say sorry later. So shoot first and ask later.

19. BEWARE THE “BUT I’M A GOOD PERSON!” TRAP

“I finished my studies! I read the books! I already did the work! Why must I face tough situations? “

Excuse me but having a good job, good time management skills, and better ethics is not a secure recipe on how to be confident. It won´t substitute crossing the barrier of getting self-confident. Not if you want to save years of work. Don’t be naïve.

20. YOU WILL BE LONELY AT FIRST (this Confident TED Talk will help you)

Yet follow the advice I give you to get confident, and everything will change. And faster than you think.

This confidence TED talk will motivate you if you feel lonely at first.

21. AVOID OTHER´S ADVICE TO WIN SELF-CONFIDENCE

I’m tired of hearing things like: “I’m in this place many years and my experience says it won’t work.” Nonsense. Where´s the person who said that?

In a shitty job with a shitty life.

22. LAUGH WHEN SOMEONE SAYS HE ISN’T AFRAID. HE´S LYING

When someone tries to hide his fear, he wears a mask. And he also fears what others think.

23. ATTENTION! IT’S EASY LIVING A FANTASY AND NOT TAKING THE MEASURES TO BECOME SELF-CONFIDENT

It’s easy living a fantasy and continuing avoiding tension. Today you can play video games, eat as much cheap food as you want, and with a 10-dollar Netflix subscription be the hero of the movie you don’t dare to live. And Internet with its free information will make you think you know it all. And then on Instagram you can fake an incredible lifestyle.

But this will only deviate your attention from the real doorway: facing fear and becoming self-confident. Only this will make you happy.

24. MANAGE THE BASICS OF SELF CONFIDENCE

(THIS WILL MAKE EVERYTHING MUCH EASIER)

Embrace stress as part of your ambitious journey. Manage the basics to feel well:

• Eat natural food and sleep well at least three labor days.

• Practice 20 minutes of daily moderate exercise.
• Use special brain waves music to achieve the relaxed estate you want. (There´s lots of such free music on YouTube.)

And meditation for confidence works?

Of course, 10 minutes of daily meditation will work wonders.

25. BE A CONTRARIAN (Great Self-Confidence Builder)

The wise person sees possibilities were others don’t. So do the contrary of everybody:

-Speaking to that imposing person

-Or attack that megaproject

It´s where you will achieve your biggest success. The best personal relations and business opportunities are behind fear. Once you do what nobody does you have the key.

26. BEST DEFINITION OF CONFIDENCE: Don´t hesitate!

If you don’t speak to that girl another one will get her.

If you don’t try that project another one will win your money. And fast.

27. CONFIDENCE MOVIES LIE

It´s easy seeing movies and thinking "I can also do that," and then not taking action. But then you will ask yourself why you aren’t happy.

Solution: take the old fashioned non-glamorous action.

28. THE MISCONCEPTION OF “BEING CONFIDENT”

There is no such thing as “being confident.” There is no Nirvana where you will be unshakeable Fear will be always there. Because think about it. Without fear there wouldn’t be confidence.

So there isn’t an “I’m now confident“ pill despite many scammers sell this pill. This is a short-term solution that will only postpone the pain of crossing fear.

So fear is part of you. Don’t neglect it. It’s what the good ones did.

29. BEST CONFIDENCE WORDS: KNOW YOURSELF 

Like Sun Tzu said in the Art of War 2.500 years ago. “When you see your enemy as you see yourself, you will never fear the outcome of a battle.” This also serves to win the battle of fear.

Most people never go far because they don’t want to admit where they are. But learning how to be confident is first recognizing your situation. (Sorry but even fools have a sixth sense to perceive your fear.)

They hide their weakness but so they don’t attack the right problem. And then adrenaline and blood pressure sabotage them.

30. THE RIGHT MINDSET TO EXUDE CONFIDENCE (I):

“HELLO, I WAS MISSING YOU”

Embrace your fear. Welcome him. “Here are you again, I was missing you.” And continue thinking on your goal, but with a clear mind, which is the only way to find a solution.

Fear is your friend. He can come as much as he wants. And when he arrives, smile. Since he doesn’t like to be accepted, he will disappear.

31. THE RIGHT MINDSET TO EXUDE CONFIDENCE (II):

MAKE IT A GAME

Give yourself points whenever you speak to a stranger, ask a difficult question, or dance alone in a bar. Learning how to be confident can be a game! So give yourself more points the more you resist the temptation of abandoning these scenes.

And then try to beat your own record.

32. WHEN YOU ACCEPT TENSION AS NORMAL YOU ALSO KILL THE ROOT OF MANY SIDE EFFECTS LIKE WORRIES, PANIC, OR DEPRESSION

Not achieving your goals because of fear is the cause of frustration and feeling overwhelmed. And this leads to all kind of worries and stress.

33. THE 2 STEP METHOD TO BECOME SELF-CONFIDENT

Becoming self-confident is about one simple technique. It´s incredibly simple, but you must apply it:

Step 1: Recognize fear.

Step 2: Take one imperfect step forward, only one.

Here you have it, the fast receipe on how to be confident. From daring to do something scary, to win in chess, recognizing fear and taking a step forward it always works.

34. MAKE ADRENALINE YOUR FRIEND

Use your physical tension when you need to be bold. So you will have extra energy and move faster.

35. COACHING FOR CONFIDENCE: AVOID PERFECTIONISM

...You only need an imperfect telephone call to contact someone important.

...You only need to open an imperfect web to sell your product.

...You only need to open your mouth to say what nobody dares to say.

Be imperfect and begin imperfect plans. You will do more so than 90% of people.

36. IT’S NOT MORE KNOWLEDGE WHAT YOU NEED

No my friend, you don’t need more knowledge to learn how to be confident. You don’t even need more hard work. Not even talent.

You need facing fear.

Even a newbie will save years of work simply facing fear. Success is predictable: simply face fear.

37. IT'S THE OLD "THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD ATTACK"

You must simply move. It’s the one who hesitates who loses.

Since your rivals will also have fear, you will win most of the times simply going forward. The best defense is a good attack.

This will solve all your confidence crisis!

Good actors, entrepreneurs, or athletes know it well and do what others avoid.

38. THE BEST CONFIDENCE BUILDING EXERCISE

(It also serves if you can´t move physically that moment.)

Then visualize in advance. It will also serve to program your subconcious mind for success. Since your senses don’t distinguish between imagined and reality, simply imagine the situation and solve it mentally.

39. THE MINI STEP (better than taking a confident course)

I can’t insist enough, the most important thing to kill fear is one first step forward. Even if it’s a little step.

The solution on how to be confident is not about big moves. It´s about mini-steps. It´s also one of the best productivity strategies. Even if you do everything wrong, you will see an open door. Perhaps you must refine your approach, but once you have the proof it will be easy.

40. YOU WILL SEE PATTERNS

Once you confront fear you will do always better.

Imagine… You will hear people warning you about terrible dangers, you will hear the word no, you will see closed doors. But then you will recognize the solution is in front of you. “Here is the same obstacle again, there I go.“

41. FACE TENSION AND ITS POWER WILL PASS TO YOU

Once you see the advantage of taking one bold step you will have the proof and want more. You will love the tension. Confront fear and fear will turn into enthusiasm. You will laugh jumping higher and trying bigger projects. It´s also the fastest way to turn into a genius.

And then fear´s power will pass to you.

From the mouse´s head to the lion’s tail. And from the lion’s tail to the lion’s head.

42. SHARE SELECTIVELY

Believe me, one of your current friends has a similar case to your current problem. And his or her experience is priceless. You can ask him or her how to be confident. How was their particular case?

Perhaps you only party with your friends or only have a work relation. But you would get surprised by their fears and experiences. Together you could build a solution.

As long as they aren’t an envious person, ask subtly if they didn’t face a similar situation. It’s incredible what you could gain with another point of view. One plus one is three.

43. YOUR ONLY ENEMY IS YOUR INNER ENEMY

Your competitors or business rivals are secondary actors. Your only enemy is your inner enemy. It’s that voice that “protects” you not try new goals. It looks like a wise voice, but it only wants you to surrender.

Your inner enemy will wait for your weak moments, so don’t let him speak or you will make the wrong decision.

44. PURSUE GOALS, NOT FREE TIME

How to be confident without goals? Your brain will be empty and the negative thoughts will win so. So replace the vacuum with goals.

45. WATCH THE INCUBATING THOUGHT

Watch any negative emotion and substitute it immediately with a positive one. Otherwise, before you notice it, this incubating thought will turn into a monster.

46. GET CONFIDENT CHANGING YOUR WORDS

Never pronounce negative words like problem or impossible.

As simple as that.

47. THE BEST CONFIDENCE CLASS: FAIL A LOT

Love your failures. The sooner you fail, the sooner you will succeed.

48. INCREASING CONFIDENCE: YOUR ARSENAL OF PAST SUCCESSES

Build your arsenal of past achievements to have an inspiring self-image whenever you need it. It will also motivate you to do hard work!

49. ELIMINATE YOUR INNER ENEMY EXPECTING HIS ATTACK IN THE WORST MOMENT

Your inner enemy will always try to catch you up out of guard. So be prepared.

50. BE ALWAYS IN LEARNING MODE

The decisions you shouldn’t have taken and your failures, must work in your favor. So see them as a necessary experience to learn how to be confident.

51. YOUR OUTER OPPONENTS WILL MAKE YOU BETTER

How to be confident without oponents? Come on! Your haters or a bad economy will make you harder. And they will make you think more.

52. ARROGANCE VS. CONFIDENCE: DON’T GET CAUGHT IN UNNECESSARY FIGHTS

There are people you dislike, but let them go. Save energy.

53. USE THE OLD-FASHIONED AFFIRMATIONS

Saying out loud to yourself  you´ll do everything what´s needed to learn how to be confident will work wonders. 

54. THE SOLUTION TO PANIC BEFORE COMPETITION

The famous pianist Arthur Schnabel practiced on his head. And Napoleon Bonaparte also visualized battles in his head.

So visualize in your mind your feared scene with all the details as if it were a real situation. How would you act? You will overcome your fear in advance if you train mentally.

55. HOW TO SPEAK WITH CONFIDENCE

Try to speak more clearly and slower even with your friends, husband, or spouse. You will feel rare first, but then you will speak with authority. Do some repetitions and you will speak with an incredible voice.

56. BODY LANGUAGE FOR CONFIDENCE: THE DUCK TECHNIQUE

A duck in a pond is the absolute image of peace, yet below the water, it moves its legs like crazy. And this is also your strategy to irradiate confidence while hiding your nerves.

So to eliminate physical shaking make playful movements. Join your fingers and separate them. Or hit the ground with your leg as if following a song.

57. HOW TO ELIMINATE DRY MOUTH, SWEATY HANDS, TUNNEL VISION, AND POST CONFRONTATIONAL HEART RATE

Simply don’t worry. See it as a result of taking action, always the best option.

58. INCREASING CONFIDENCE: BREATH PROFOUND

Breathing profound will help you incredibly when learning how to be confident. You can make some research about Pranayama breathing. But if you simply breathe profound 20 times per day you will solve your shaking and many other problems.

And now avoid these 7 invisible traps that slow your life down.

Perhaps you are killing your future falling into these subtle invisible traps. So be prevented. You can save years of work and desperation avoiding these errors.

59. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr. 1:

THE HEALTH TRAP

You must act despite your arm hurts or you feel low energy. You must show your mind you will continue even if it blackmails you with fever or a dislocated finger.

That way many pains you had in the past won’t appear.

60. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 2:

THE BORING REPETITION

You escape from repetition because you are bombarded with latest news, movies and phone apps every day. They look exciting.

Repetition is part of the process. But if you want to master fear and your charisma, you must repeat your move despite a thousand distractions. Admiration and money will follow only after crossing the desert.

61. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 3:

THE WELL-TRAINED MANIPULATORS

More people than you think have a collection of meticulously designed comments to make you quit. They are well-trained manipulators. “You are not one of those,” or “There aren´t possibilities today!”

You taking off and they stagnating? Never!

Expect this in your way on how to be confident. Your so-called friends aren’t perhaps your friends. If in doubt observe their situation. Do you want their same life?

62. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 4:

THE VALID EXCUSES

You will always have something better to do than the really important task.

You will always have a perfect excuse. So as soon as you hear excusing yourself recognize you are in trouble. And then it around seeing it as an opportunity.

63. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 5:

 “I DON’T TRY SO I DON´T LOSE”

Playing not to lose, is losing. Because playing it safe you lose taking new opportunities. And worse, you lose an experience, more valuable than reading 10 books. How to be confident without never trying? 

Don´t care about the results.

So better look stupid and try. If you don’t fail your life will seem perfect, but you will hate your life.

64. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 6:

DON´T BE A CONTROL FREAK

There´s no regulated way to succeed. Einstein was lost when designing his theories. And the discoverer of penicillin was also lost in his research. They changed their plans continuously.

Control is an illusion. So to succeed fast tolerate being lost. Turn your ratio of 5% innovating and 95% fixing to 50% of innovation and 50% fixing.

65. AVOID INVISIBLE TRAP Nr 7:

THE SECURITY MYTH

Searching for security is the most insecure thing. A secure job, a secure relation... a secure shit.

Security is like taking pills, they relieve you in the short term but cause terrible side effects.

Solution: follow your passion.

66. YOU WILL STAGNATE. SO WHAT?
(THE FILTER OF CHAMPIONS)

When you progressed learning Spanish or making new friends you took off. But then one day it was impossible to progress. Stagnation came.

But stagnation is the filter of champions, a sign you are in the good road on how to be confident. Your subconscious mind is reassembling the pieces. So continue with that skill or habit to emerge stronger. You will be ahead of 95% of people so.

67. HOW TO INCREASE CONFIDENCE: DIGG PROFOUND

Perhaps you never achieved your goals because you didn’t know what you really fear. And so you entered a fantasy of being mega confident. It was seductive. But so you were far away from yourself.

So change your life going both ways, outside and inside. Take the bold step (go outside), but also go to the root. If you want to learn how to be confident. fast work outside and inside of you. Everything changes when you also work your inside and ask yourself what do you really fear. It will be a revolution. Perhaps you think you fear speaking in front of 10 persons but what you internally fear is people seeing you don’t have anything interesting to say. (Which by the way isn’t true, because everyone has something interesting to say.)

So make the journey. It’s nice to make a movie where you are always confident, but so you only isolate from your real self. So take the bold step of going profound.

68. ACCEPT VERTIGO

Once you overcome your biggest fear you will meet first-class rivals. You will do new mistakes. And vertigo will appear. So you will be tempted to quit beforehand.

At the top it will be easier to grow because you already have the skills. But love being at the top.

Vertigo is a good sign.

69. ACCEPT CRITICISM

Facing aggressive critics of your book, or being blamed because of your new celebrity status will be inevitable. But it will be much better than staying with the sheep.

You will be in a better position to find more opportunities.

70. THE WORST CASE SCENARIO, YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND

A trick to eliminate fear is imagining the worst thing that could happen. Sit and think.

What would if you run out of money?

What is your spouse or husband leaves you?

What if you get ridiculed?

Imagining the worst scenario is perfect to try difficult things. You´ll learn how to be confident faster if you imagine your future responses. First, you´ll lower your stress because you see nothing is as bad as it seems. It’s only a battle in your mind.

And it gets better. It will give you essential information about who and what to beware of. It will sharpen your mind to plan better and move faster. And you will produce ideas and find allies. So for example, you will jump the next five weeks to the project that will solve your money problem for life.

And since you can always refine it you will find always better ways to do it.

71. COACHING FOR CONFIDENCE: SCRATCH IN YOUR PAST

It can be hard remembering your failures as a child. But we all have them. They are valuable in your process on how to be confident. And it will help you incredibly seeing that you are shy because your teacher ridiculed you in front of your classmates. But once you deconstruct it, goodbye shyness.

So investigate your past because and you will save tons of false limiting thoughts.

72. BOOST YOUR LEVER OF CONFIDENCE:

THE GRADUAL BOLDNESS SOLUTION

Perhaps you have now an imposing fear you think you can’t handle. So break it into pieces.

Because a big fear is a group of small fears. So you can always break it down into manageable parts and solve it one by one. This is the strategy that Alexander the Great used. He attacked flank by flank to erode his enemies. And so he created the largest empire of the ancient world at age 30.

It’s an obvious solution, yet nobody does it. Because people think in terms of absolute fears. They see in the movies how the hero wins in a wonderful agonizing big strike and think it’s the only way.

Don’t try to be good in a day. For big fears try daily a little step. Each day attack a different part and soon you will have it. You will get immunized against paralysis and face big fears and phobias like fear of elevators, dog phobia, or starting unthinkable relations.

Captivating an audience? Winning a gold medal? Writing a book? It´s simply improvement over improvement. There you have an exponential growth.

73. TRAIN YOUR ANTI-FEAR MUSCLE DAILY

If you train daily facing small fears you will have a fantastic training to beat big fears.

Most people love good advice. They hear it once and say “Wow, I will use it,” but then they don’t use it. Yet you can’t do it once and expect miracles.

So to avoid this, combine training your anti-fear muscle with the lifestyle you want. You only have to feel a small prick every day. And so every small situation will grow your mental strength. You will never be caught off guard with the big challenges, like everybody does, because you will have internalized your own micro-movements to beat fear.

74. DESIGN YOUR OWN DAILY TRAINING PROGRAM

Is confident a skill? Absolutely.

So have a program to lose your fears. 

Whether you train to maintain eye contact, making difficult questions, or lying in the middle of the street you will see that facing one fear will make you get rid of others. Because in essence all fears are the same.

Make your own program that fits into your lifestyle. From the easy ones like speaking to a store clerk or giving a compliment, to most difficult ones like approaching strangers to tell them a joke, or enlarging one extra minute a conversation despite it will get awkward.

75. YOUR HIDDEN WEAPON: VISUALIZING

Your mind is incredibly powerful, much more than you think.

So before taking action, visualize first the outcome you want. Since your senses don’t differentiate what´s true from imagined, if you imagine something vividly you will have 90% chances of getting it.

It’s what Legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, winner of 18 Grand Slam tournaments did, he visualized his matches beforehand.

So isolate one minute to reprogram your subconscious mind and eliminate any fear. You will enter a mental state where everything clicks. Try imagining how you play better at your favorite sport, or how you have a great interaction in your next appointment.

Good athletes visualize first the perfect shot and the screaming stadium. And so in the moment of truth, they do the winning movement automatically. There are also studies that prove how athletes that trained mentally had much better results than those who trained (even more time) physically.

Visualizing serves for everything, you can use it to be creative or achieve whatever you want. You can imagine lower your fear to travel by subway, imagining how you make people laugh in an event, or imagining how you drive more safely without reacting to other drivers (and so save your life).

The possibilities are endless. You will save money and time. (But never visualize what you don’t want, because that’s what will get programmed.)

76. THE FAST WAY TO VISUALIZE SELF-CONFIDENCE

To visualize well apply these 3 tips:

Be comfortable

Help yourself with details

Focus on the critical moment and don´t deviate from this image.

Focus always on the frightening moment where you enter the stage to speak in public, or when you have three rivals around you and must pass the ball right. What do you feel? What do you see? The tenser you become, the better.

And then visualize the solution over and over. One minute per day will be okay.

77. CONFIDENCE CRISIS?

HOW TO SURVIVE RELAPSES

Your anti-fear process will have ups and downs. It’s the universe doing its selection process. Who will resist?

This is why the best basketball player, the best cook, or the best public speaker are the bests. They don’t surrender.

There will come a moment where the writing of your book will look impossible or your charisma to lead will get worse than before.

The process is always the same, after some first good sensations, then a relapse. Then new good sensations again, but then a bigger relapse. And one of them can be very big. So accept that if you fail you are doing well. But it’s the logical process, it’s your brain reordering the data. You must continue.

Yet sadly, most people received the wrong education and sabotage themselves surrendering at the first bump. But it’s at the low point where you have to continue. Everything has its rhythm and even world champions need time to recover. You are never “too good” not to fail. In fact, failing is the only way. For you and for the world champion.

78. DO IT FOR YOU (NEVER TO IMPRESS OTHERS)

Think on someone you admire. Does he show off?

No, but curiously this makes him magnetic.

So when eliminating your fears be the silent hero. Everybody perceives who is bold.

79. THE RIGHT ORDER:
FIRST DO WHAT YOU FEAR

Instead of working many hours going nowhere, try to do what you most fear first. You will save hundreds of unproductive hours so.

Because think about it, when you finish the imposing project, you will eliminate hundreds of secondary tasks, because once you do something big you will have enough money to subcontract many other tasks!

So from now on if you have to talk to someone imposing, make the appointment first time in the morning. Or if you have to launch a big idea, do it first.

80. YOU WILL HAVE TO ABANDON TASKS… AND FRIENDS

Sorry but to be self-confident you will have to abandon a lot of easy tasks. And also many friends that won’t support you.

To play in the first leagues you must grab the bull by the horns. Even if this means letting postponing eternally many tasks. Because remember, you only live once.

81. ACCEPT THAT FEAR WILL CONTINUE IN YOUR LIFE

Fear never disappears. Sorry.

But you can reduce it a lot. Once you understand your mind's reaction fear is a little prick.

Yet realize that always a new one will appear. But it’s perfect so. It’s a sign you're moving forward. You are at a higher level with more victories in your resumé and a better economic and personal situation.

Life is ups and downs. New fears appear, but you need them. Whenever you go up, and you will go up with this advice, new possibilities disguised as problems will appear. But they will be better opportunities. So you will separate from the rest.

82. GETTING CONFIDENT IS ALSO ENCOURAGING OTHERS

Another way to inspire yourself is by encouraging others. Because automatically what you say passes to you.

If you encourage someone to get up, you will also transmit this power to you. Not to speak of the benefits of winning a new friend that will later support you.

83. DO YOU WANT CONFIDENCE WHEN SPEAKING?

LIVE THE MOVIE

Another good technique to get confident is watching yourself like from a drone. You see yourself with a 007 coolness. You face the villain. The hero doesn’t retreat. He even smiles.

84. GOOD OPPORTUNITIES APPEAR WHEN LESS EXPECTED

And sometimes not lasting more than a second. So you must confront your fear at the moment or goodbye opportunity. Otherwise you will complain “Why didn’t I try!”

But it will be too late.

85. ANOTHER WORD FOR CONFIDENCE: WOUNDS

You need the wounds.

You have to go through moments of tough and awkward situations. Think that the wounds are necessary. Yet the rewards are great.

86. CELEBRATE EVEN LITTLE SUCCESSES

Never say “I could have done better.” That’s your inner enemy speaking so that you surrender.

If you started writing that book, or put your right step in that balcony despite your fear of heights, celebrate it. You can be sure that most people won’t even try.

87. ONCE YOU GET BOLDER. THOUSANDS OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES WILL APPEAR

An entire world opens to you once you try. Benefits will come even from indirect sources. It’s the way the universe rewards you for getting better.

88. THE PROOF THAT YOU CAN ELIMINATE YOUR FEAR

You don’t feel fear in the border of a road continuously crossed by dangerous cars, you do it every day. So there you have the proof that you can be in front of the most dangerous thing without fear.

89. YOU CAN BUILD A VERY LUCRATIVE BUSINESS AROUND IT

If you know how to face fear you can make a business about eliminating the fears of your sector. You can make tons of clients so, because remember, everybody has fear.

90. INCREASE YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE STEP-BY-STEP, NOBODY MUST NOTICE IT

No one will attack you if they don’t perceive you get better. When they react it will be too late. You will be already too powerful. Sounds Machiavellian but it’s the best way to do it.

91. HAVE YOUR OWN REWARD SYSTEM

You need to recognize your little successes or you will abandon. Don’t be too hard with yourself. You did the tough part and now you deserve the price. The Yin and Yang that moves the universe.

So design a reward system for even little goals. Whether a coffee with chocolate, buying a shirt, reviewing a past memory, or a trip to Australia, design your own system. You will eliminate fear faster so.

92. BE PATIENT

Real life is different than cool advertisements. 99% Of moments you won’t feel like a hero. And you will have bad moments. Don’t care. It’s normal. Follow your way.

93. NEVER FORGET: THE TOUGHEST MOMENT = THE BEST THINGS IN YOUR LIFE

Is it difficult? Perfect. It’s the opportunity of your life.

94. ALWAYS JUDGE YOURSELF BY WHAT YOU TRIED, NOT BY THE RESULTS

Success is trying.

95. TO GET CONFIDENT NEVER BELIEVE ON WHAT THE INTERNET AND THE MEDIA SAY

The media speaks about records, victories, and an incredible lifestyle as if it were easy. But to achieve this, you must change your mind. And it’s hard first.

Yet everybody who did something big felt the prick of fear. There was no other way.

96. THE “WHAT´S YOUR OPTION?” BOOST

In case you need a final boost, ask yourself: what’s the option of not doing it? It will be never harder than a life of low income, bad relations, and consuming anxiety.

97. WHAT IF YOU COMPETE WITH THE BEST? THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN IS THAT AT LEAST YOU WILL BE LIKE THEM

The games where a player gets better are those played against better rivals. Try it. At the minimum, you will polish errors and fix your concentration. At the minimum!

98. YOU CAN ELIMINATE ALL YOUR FEARS

Even if you think you are the most fearful person on earth.

99. DO IT FOR OTHERS

If you need a strong argument to face fear, think on others instead of on yourself.

How many people could lose opportunities because you don’t confront your fears?

100. EMBRACE THE ROLLER COASTER, THE REWARD IS TOO BIG

There will be ups and downs, but accept it. Try to become self-confident with all your forces because you can’t imagine the rewards. Incredible stories will come.
