Is lack of confidence holding you back?

One of the biggest things that hold people back is lack of confidence.

Clients will continually ask me “Mark, how can I develop my confidence, what do I need to do?”

My response is always, if you develop your assertiveness skills, confidence follows.

Many clients will disagree with me on this at the start, they will say ” You need to be confident to be assertive”, but in my experience, you can decide to be confident, it’s like the old saying ‘fake it till you make it’.

So to me, confidence follows being assertive, if you are assertive, your confidence will develop.
