Overcome Your Fears With Self-Talk

October 25th, 2007 | by Chris |

One of the biggest drawbacks for most of the new distributors that holds them back and destroys their chances for success is their fear of talking to other people about their business. Although promoting online can save you from that stress, talking on the phone or meeting prospects in person can do wonders at increasing your conversion rates and as a consequence accelerate the growth of your organization. So if you want to become a successful Network Marketer it is crucial that at some point you overcome that fear. But how can you do this?

There are a lot of methods to do this and one of them is the self-talk. We all hear this inner voices when we think and not only. Sometimes out of the blue we hear this voice to encourage us when we’re on to do something but most often criticizing us and sabotaging our efforts. Unfortunately most of us we get conditioned from our childhood to have negative thoughts and a negative self-talk that shapes our character and hold us back from achieving the results we want from our life.

But what if we start going the opposite way. What if we try to stop the negative sentences when we talk to ourselves and replace them with positive ones. What if we draft a small text, full of positive words on the things we want to change on ourselves and repeat it regularly like a small prayer. Can things like that help us to change our character?

According to Shad Helmsetter and his book “what to say when you talk to yourself” such a thing is possible. In his book he analyzes this concept and puts some ready to use texts with self talk, but I am sure that after reading the book and put some thought on it, anyone can produce such a text suited for his own needs on the things he wants to change in his life.
