How to Overcome Your Self-doubt and Make Profitable Business

It is said, ‘you don’t realize how much your hair weighs until you shave it off. And you don’t realize how much your weigh until you release them.’ Infact, self-doubt is a mischief monger we all want to keep away from, but end up crossing paths, all the time. It is mind play of weakening your belief in yourself and the process you are following to get to your destination. If you got your process right, then self-doubt has very little place in your mind.

Take your own time to rid self-doubt

Even if you are doing something with conviction, and doing it day in, day out, the result is not in your hands.  It will take its own time to show. Don’t allow self-doubt to creep in and dislocate you from your path, even if that path is a long one and results take time to show. Which is why you should remain involved with the process and not get attached to the result. The more engaged you are in the process, the less your mind will allow self-doubt to strike. And if does creep in, you need to silence it by getting more and more into the thick of things; spend time on improving your existing processes rather than wasting it on thinking whether or not you will be successful.

So, while you should be able to throw away the result quickly, keep the process fitted around you, tight and sung. The results will be variable, but the process will always be the constant for you, if you are doing it right. Self-doubt stand little chance against this kind of a defense mechanism.
