Excellent post which anybody can take inspiration from (and not just writers). You had me nodding in agreement with every point.

I think the whole premise of the post is so absolutely true. I’ve met many a good writer who wouldn’t say boo to a goose.

Top notch advice here Dean.

I found working on a helpdesk for several years to have a great influence on my confidence—especially for speaking to people and learning how to establish strong customer relations.

I’ve also done a lot of debating online, which has given me a great deal of confidence in my ideas and beliefs.

And I spend at least a couple of hours a day training in addition to working. I find this has two very helpful effects: (1) It gives me a lot of confidence that I know what I’m talking about. I can look back on everything I’ve learned, both in terms of training and work experience, and rely on it as a foundation for confidence when I must play the part of the expert. (2) It makes me aware of how much more there is to learn; which keeps me from becoming over-confident and thinking of myself as THE expert.

MieVee,
Me too. I participated in drama in high school and college. I even got into TV and radio for a few years. You’re right. It helps.

As a beginner, it is absolutely important to be confident in order to get business.

Exposure to drama performances and public speaking when I was young helped to boost my confidence level.

I love your statement about comparing yourself to others, that you are comparing your bads to their goods. I never thought about it that way.

Thank you!
