Long overdue but I finally got round to finishing a guest post for my good friend Eduard over at peopleskillsdecoded. You can check it out by heading here or check out the summary below.

Confidence, more than ability, is usually what separates the winners from the losers and so what better trait to focus on for improving your confidence.

Some people are innately very confident and I am sure we all secretly harbor some resentment towards them because of it but even if confidence does not come easily to you, it can be improved. The 5 Unorthodox confidence boosting techniques we are going to focus on today are:

1. Wear Outrageous Underwear
2. Make Statements – Limit Explanation
3. Learn To Love Silence
4. Dress Dapper
5. Finish Well

Anyone else want a guest post? Just let me know in the sexiest way possible…or just send me an email, whichever works for you.

    It is probably impossible to UNDERestimate how important confidence can be to success. YOu need to get out there, and try and do things and not be worried by possible failure.

    The great thing about confidence is that success just brings more confidence.

    • Jonny says:

      Very true Steve, I believe that confidence can get you pretty much anywhere and have some stories of my own to prove it. You are also right in what you say about success leading to more confidence, which in turn leads to more success. The trick is to get the start right and then it can become like a snowball and increase exponentially.

    hey Jonny, I’d love you to write a guest post for me – send me a email at qualityblokecontact@gmail.com and we can discuss it.

    Thanks,

    Ian

    You’re right, these underwear do fill me with the confidence of two powerful roaring lions.

    “2. Make Statements – Limit Explanation”

    So that’s what these people were trying to do all this time? Build Instant Confidence.

    I know a guy who does this all the time and you’re waiting for him to finish the sentence / statement with some sort of explanation. He never does.

    We don’t think he’s confident, just a bit eccentric.

      Hmm, you may just have discovered the first flaw in my “perfectly perfect right up until this comment” plan. Touche. Still eccentric is better than waffler.

    Haha I love this blog (esp. prolifigate use of the word “sexy”). Very funny, very functional.
    Being comfortable with silence is a huge confidence thing. The most talkative people I know are also the most insecure.

    • Jonny says:

      Hi Hannah,

      Thanks and great to have you as a reader. Be careful with the funny thing though, too much of that and I might start believing it myself and then we will all be in for a world of trouble.
