It’s hard to take action of any kind when you don’t believe in yourself.
Just like it’s hard to start a business of any kind when you don’t have the resources yourself.
One strategy that has helped countless people start their businesses, however, is borrowing resources from others (like a bank) and paying them back later.
We can do the same thing with belief.
We can borrow belief from others, like a loan of sorts, that gives us the boost we need to take the action; to get the results (and hopefully successes); to build the confidence; to start the self-belief generating process on our own.
The absolute key to doing this is to surround ourselves with people who believe in the human potential. Growth-minded individuals who know that with alignment, action, effort, guidance, and reflection—great things are possible (no matter how inept a person might seem). People who will be there for us in victory AND defeat—because defeat is inevitable on the journey upward and teaches us lessons that victory never could.
Find your people and use their belief in you (or the human spirit) until you’re able to create your own self-sustaining self-belief producing business.
Then, pay off your loan (with gratitude and belief back into others), continue on the path, and let your belief “profits” give you the inner resources you need to chase whole-heartedly your wildest dreams.
