Key steps to building your credibility
Have you decided to become an authority for others? This is a great goal, just keep in mind that you have to work on yourself until the seventh sweat. Forget about the "magic pills", they do not exist. So, to make your dream a reality, follow these 6 steps in any order:
1. Start pumping self-confidence. This is a key factor in your success. If a worm of doubt sits inside you and constantly tells you which of you can gain credibility, if you have no education, money, rich parents, attractive appearance, etc., then your undertaking is doomed to failure. There are several ways to become more confident in yourself: keep a success diary, where you will write down all your achievements, even the smallest, and regularly read it (at least once a day); write a list of what causes you positive emotions and read it in the morning after waking up and in the evening before going to bed (when you are in a positive mood, you are always confident in yourself); do all the things that you promised to do for yourself or other people (the more often you keep your word, the more confident you become).
2. Select a topic in which you are going to become an authority. Search and read all the books that you will find in the subject of your interest. Without knowledge, you cannot convince anyone that you have a good command of your topic.
3. Be the person responsible for your life. Authority is a person whose opinion is listened to, whose advice is followed. And since you get the opportunity to influence the lives of other people, you must clearly understand: you are responsible for your followers. Therefore, first of all, learn to be responsible for yourself. Remember what you promised to do for yourself or others, but for some reason did not fulfill. Make a list of such cases and immediately begin to close the "tails". Use the most effective way to pump responsibility - to give a public obligation to people whose opinion is not indifferent to you. This will give you extra strength on the way to your goal, help you not to break down in the event of imminent difficulties. You don’t want to be idle talk, do you?
4. Learn to speak clearly and clearly. Authority in any field should be able to clearly convey its position, explain it and, if necessary, defend and defend. To train this skill, find a speaker course. Continuously polish your skills, speaking to loved ones or even to your reflection in the mirror, if there is no audience within walking distance in front of which you can show off the syllable.
5. Exercise your physical health. One of the reasons for the influence of authority on people's minds is his stupid energy, which he literally radiates around. The basis of such energy is the excellent condition of his body. Sign up for the gym, sports section, or start at least doing exercises in the morning.
6. Tidy up your appearance. Will you listen to the words of a person who smells bad of sweat, unshaven, with unshaved nails, dirty hair and wrinkled clothes? Unlikely. Therefore, if you have problems with the appearance, immediately engage in the cultivation of the habit of watching and caring for yourself.
