Blow Your Own Horn More Often
Too many people out there resist talking about what they are up to, what they have accomplished. They don’t want to brag! But this often means they downplay their accomplishments to themselves. Not a good thing. You need to be aware of what you are good at, what your successes are. How else do you give yourself a pat on the back? More importantly, how do you successfully land new clients, get that promotion or sell people on the idea of working with you if you aren’t confident about your own abilities?
There is a big difference between being a braggart and being confident about your abilities and your value. Too many women end up making less money than they should because they undervalue themselves. So get ready to start blowing your own horn by taking these simple steps:
- Make a list of your accomplishments. Write them all down and you will start to see how much you’ve accomplished. I bet it’s more than you ever thought.
- List all the benefits people receive from working with you. This exercise will make you crystal clear on what you provide to your clients, which makes asking for money a lot easier.
- Gather client testimonials. Clients that love you are your fans. Collect your testimonials and make sure you read them over and over, so you’re reminded of your successes.
If you aren’t prepared to blow your own horn, no else is going to.
