With confidence, you can reach truly amazing heights; without confidence, even the simplest accomplishments are beyond your grasp (Jim Loehr).

The internet, books, magazines and people around you can be great tool to achieve this step. If you want to be a great speaker, then learn and practice more public speaking.

Think about the past

You should always look at the great wins or successes you’ve experienced and give yourself credit for your part in them.  Recognizing your achievement is in fact healthy for the mind. If you didn’t win, you should not beat yourself because that will only make you feel worse.  Instead, be honest and ask yourself what you gained from the situation and what you lost.

Break major project into small components

Trying to take on a huge project or task can be overwhelming, daunting and intimidating for anyone, even the best of us. Instead, learn to break your major task into small bits. Small little achievements can make you feel good, and they add up to big achievements. Learn to work like this all the time, and soon you’ll see the strength of self-confidence in your actions.
