Phrase: Sell yourself short
The competitive world we live in can be a difficult place.
The fear of being exposed as a fraud, fake, or quitter is deeply ingrained in our society’s DNA and causes many people to sell themselves short.
The key to overcoming these issues is to be confident in yourself, your skills, ability, experience, and knowledge.
Selling yourself short means never confidently speaking about your abilities, being self-deprecating and undermining your personal value.
You need to promote yourself confidently to get the results you deserve.
It’s all too easy to sell yourself short and undermine the value that you offer.
Being confident goes a long way in business and life, as it creates an aura of legitimacy and authority.
Rather than selling yourself short with self-deprecating thoughts, tell people what you can do for them with conviction and certainty.
In this ever-evolving world, it’s tempting to undervalue ourselves or underestimate others because of imposter syndrome.
With self-deprecating thoughts, we’re selling ourselves short.
I’m not a perfect person; I even have imposter syndrome sometimes!
However, I know my strengths, what I’m good at and how I can help others in my life.
Know thyself, and you can move up in life with confidence.
It’s hard to be confident and claim your full potential when you don’t see yourself very highly.
You need to understand that the world isn’t waiting for you and doesn’t owe you anything.
You must confidently go out there and take what is rightfully yours.
The world is a competitive place, and if you don’t think that your skills are good enough, get better at them or find new ones.
Don’t sell yourself short because if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.
