5 Confidence-Boosters For New Business Owners
Starting a new business can be scary. When you’re going it alone for the first time, you can suddenly feel nervous, exposed and vulnerable. It’s not an easy thing for anyone, but if you’re going to succeed – you’re going to have to find some courage.
Building your confidence can take time, but before you know it, you’ll be a competent and strong business owner. Take a look at these five confidence-boosters for new business owners.
1. Get Networking
While your business is yours and it’s a very individual thing, there are many others out there who are in the same position as you and are just finding their feet.
Networking can be a great opportunity for you to meet some of these people and compare stories of your new business adventures. You’ll be surprised at how much more at ease you’ll feel knowing there are people just like you out there.
2. Boost Your Skills
As a new business owner, it’s understandable that you’re not an expert in all areas of business. To help you feel less out of your depth, some training courses or some additional studying could help you feel more confident in your skills.
If English isn’t your first language, listening to AJ Hoge’s podcast could help you to improve your skills. If you keep learning throughout your career, you’ll always develop new skills that will make you a more confident and more effective business owner.
3. Build Your Support Network
Having a good support network will be a great asset to you while launching your own business. Surrounding yourself with friends and family who support your ambitions and can offer advice when you’re struggling will be a big help.
Don’t be afraid to share your concerns with others – they could help you come up with solutions to different problems, even if they’re not directly involved in the business.
4. De-stress
Running a business is stressful, and when you’re just starting out, it can feel like the whole world is against you. Learning how to deal with stress will help you to feel more in control and ensure your mental health stays strong.
The better you learn to cope with stressful situations, the more confident you’ll feel running the business. It’s important that you feel good at work, so make sure you exercise regularly, get enough sleep and eat a balanced diet to help keep you fighting fit and ready for anything.
5. Celebrate Your Success
It’s easy to dwell on the things you’re doing wrong, but by celebrating your successes, you can give yourself the motivation you need to carry on. Celebrate the design of your logo, your first sale and all the positive moments that happen when you first start a business. Set yourself some smaller goals alongside your overarching ambitions and celebrate as you achieve them.
When you’re feeling low on confidence, one important thing to remember is not to give up. As you start achieving results with your business, your confidence will grow and will keep you going to turn your business into a success.
Work on yourself by following the advice above and watch as you become a capable and confident business owner.
Yes, there is no excuse not to boost your confidence as a business owner or as a person for that matter. One’s mindset and actions are the co-creators of anyone’s reality! There are many ways to boost your confidence as a business owner, however, these 5 tips should steer you in the right direction and get you started. All the best.

Hello Michelle, wow these are really great tips that we need to keep in mind. Destress is vital! Networking and having mentors and mastermind groups truly make the difference. And I so like that you included celebrate success. BEcause we forget sometimes in our rush to get to our next chore . But celebrating our success means we are noting how well we are doing on our path. And then success begats success. yes?
So enjoyed this article.

Hello Ariel,
Thanks for your visit and thoughts. I truly agree with you – we need to have a network to use as a support and sounding board…and of course, we need to get in the habit of celebrating our success no matter how small. Each action means one step closer to out desired outcome. All the best.

I like the ideas you have given here and they are so important.
I remember when I first started out with my online business I lacked the confidence that I would succeed, was afraid of judgement and criticism. to my pleasant surprise, I was given so much support from the community that I joined at Wealthy Affiliate, and my family also supported me and was actually amazed to see my really fast advancement ….under a month to have a really professional looking website with posts and all in it! I was surprised and they were too…but it really did boost my confidence!
Thanks for sharing these ideas with us – will keep them in mind!
Wishing you $ucce$$ – Orion
Hello Orion,
Thnx for your visit. Yes, I remember my ‘teething moments’ as well. The support of family, friends, and extended community can really help you on your journey. You need to believe in yourself and ‘act like it’even if you don’t – it is said that it will catch up with you if you play the part. In all honesty, taking it baby step by baby step is the way to go. All the best.

Hi Michelle
Very on point article.
I found that being a one-man business is a very lonely place to be and the inability to bounce ideas off others is very frustrating. Networking became one of my primary weekly functions and to this day I still do it. I cannot stress how much that helped me to keep going through the tough times.
It relieves the stress to know that genuine help and encouragement (and sometimes the honest truth) is a mere phone call away. I hope all aspiring
and struggling businesses get to read your website.
Thanks for sharing

Hello Lawrence,
Thanks for your visit and your kind words. Yes, I, too have a network and I do ‘bounce things off’ occasionally – priceless. And you are right – going into business for yourself can be a one-man business. However, we need to find a way to find support as we journey. All the best.
