“You are capable and worthy of love. These two beliefs are the main pillars of high self-esteem.” -Jack Canfield
Healthy self-esteem is the core of success and happiness in business and life.
No no matter how far you get, your self-esteem will eventually pull you back down to whatever level it is inside you.
I believe that even businesses, organizations, sports teams, and families have self-esteem.
When I managed my first business, I knew that if I did not love and believe in the business, no one else would love and believe the business.
I had to remove any and all self-doubt that the business could succeed at astronomical levels.
Positive emotions and confidence are contagious.
But negative thoughts and self-doubt are far more contagious.
If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.
If you don’t believe in your business, no one else will believe in it either.
If you don’t love yourself, you will be incapable of fully loving others and no one will fully love you.
If you don’t fully love your business, how do you expect anyone else to?
Be your own best friend and your own biggest cheerleader.
“Self-Esteem is the key to high performance. If we feel good about ourselves and hang around with successful people, that’s how we turn out.” -Dan Peña
You are who you surround yourself with most. Surround yourself with high self-esteem and it rubs off on you.
Do everything you can to surround yourself with high self-esteem people.
“High self-esteem people can surely be knocked down by an excess of troubles, but they are quicker to pick themselves up again.” Nathaniel Branden, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
If your self-esteem is high, you are more capable of overcoming obstacles. This is an extremely important trait of a leader and a winner.
In order for our business to have high self-esteem, I knew it was paramount that our leadership and managers that I hired had high self-esteem. That’s where it starts.
This is crucial.
One of the most important things you can do as a leader is to “Give” self-esteem to your team.
How do you do this?
Show that you truly care about them and truly believe they are capable of great things.
Walking through life with low self-esteem is like driving a car with its emergency brakes on. It is like carrying around 50 pound weights on your ankles.
Release your breaks and take those shackles off your ankles.
Amateur: constantly compares to others, negative self-talk, focusing on the negatives and ignoring your accomplishments, surrounded by low self-esteem people, does things to lower the self-esteem of others, talks about others being inferior
Professional: positive self-talk (be your own best friend), surround yourself with positive uplifting people with high self-esteem, believe in yourself and believe that you are capable, love yourself and believe that you are worthy of love, give yourself credit for successes, GIVE self-esteem to everyone around you
“To trust one’s mind and to know that one is worthy of happiness is the essence of self-esteem.” Nathaniel Branden, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
