Good Tuesday to you!

Today’s word is Confidence.


On Dictionary.com it is defined as follows:

con·fi·dence 

noun

     1.full trust; belief in the powers, trustworthiness, or reliability of a person or thing: We have every confidence in their ability to succeed.

     2. belief in oneself and one's powers or abilities; self-confidence; self-reliance; assurance: His lack of confidence defeated him.

     3. certitude; assurance: He described the situation with such confidence that the audience believed him completely.

     4. a confidential communication: to exchange confidences.

     5. (especially in European politics) the wish to retain an incumbent government in office, as shown by a vote in a particular issue: a vote of confidence.

We all know that without confidence, we might as well not get out of bed, especially in our type of business.  You have to be confident to get through the day and deal with other people. 

If you’re not confident in yourself, which, in many ways is the same as believing in yourself, how can you expect anyone to want to do business with you?

 “Nobody can make you fell inferior without your consent."

    ~ Eleanor Roosevelt 

With Enthusiasm,

Jeffrey M. Richman

Confidence is indeed a good thing.  The ability to be confident without a hint of arrogance is even better.

There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance! All the benefits of confidence are completely gone if any arrogance is present!
