It takes courage to pull off anything. There are also things that confident people never do. In this video, I'm going to share with you 19 things confident people don't do. 1. They don't quit because things are hard. A confident person knows that succeeding at something can be difficult. Because they believe in themselves, they are willing to undertake the challenge to birth the results they desire. When they work in a team, they inspire others to action. They never give up simply because the team they are to face is clearly better.

When was the last time you said you would write and you just sat up and did? When was the last time you said you would call a headhunter and you just sat up and did just that?

Confident people also do not make excuses a lot. Excuses are meant to justify your lack of confidence. Do you listen to yourself from time to time?

There are many things that are hard in life but each one of them requires courage to begin. You cannot excel at work or in your business without confidence.

People's opinion can weigh you down if you are the type who cares too much, for as long as the world is rotating. People will always have opinions. Being confident means not always accepting people's opinions, especially if they are negative.

They therefore are less likely to be weighed down by events than most people. Are you currently weighed down by things you cannot control? Do you still have goals you want to achieve? Why not push through despite those changes? Confidence is built through discipline. You need to constantly remind yourself just how confident you are in yourself. 6.

Confidence requires practice. If you practice being confident over time, you get better at it. You cannot become confident simply by saying that you are.

Impressing people will be the least of their concerns. 10. They don't avoid the truth. Highly confident people confront problems head on. They don't sweep issues under the rug because of sentiments.
