I had this voice in my head for many years and I was not really aware of the hold it had over me or its true power until the age of about twenty-one. In fact I probably treated it as more of a friend than a foe – I am not really sure why this was in truth.

I was unfortunate to develop a stutter when I was a young child and this speech impediment would continue to haunt my life until I finally overcame it when I was aged twenty-two. The stuttering had a detremental effect on my overall confidence and was the cause of a great deal of distress. I was more than keen to find a solution to this stuttering problem and of techniques that could enable me to gain self-confidence. This is when I started to really learn about the damaging affect that these demons can have on one’s life.

For many years they would talk to me and would some how manage to convince me to think in a negative manner. I was advised by these most annoying of voices to leave school at the age of 16 and this is something which I duly did. They advised me not to put in for a promotion at work as they stated that I would not gain the higher position – I listened to them and therefore did not even apply for the position. Why was I listening to this demonic voice? Well I suppose it was because I did not know of any other way.

I eventually realised that I needed to basically ignore these voices and that in fact I should do the opposite of what they had advised. This was far from easy in reality and we fought many battles along the way. Victory in this most vicious of wars was eventually mine I am very pleased to announce. I am now in a much better state of mind to have a positive career which at the moment is within the web promotion sector.

Believe in yourself, be decisive and work hard to eliminate your inner voices – your future success is dependent upon it.

How To Eradicate Those Inner Demons

Besides my nervous way of speaking (I had a speech impediment commonly referred to as stuttering), the following areas of confidence coaching were of interest to me:

I had, for whatever reason, a lack of belief at the workplace

I had a negative belief that I would fail in whichever task I attempted to do

I wanted to become far more assertive

I would often get dragged down by negative comments

I was paranoid (at least a subtle feeling) that people don’t like me

For some bizarre reason I would often feel
very sorry for myself

I wanted to be able to speak with authority and presence

I wanted to see fear and anxiety as a challenge and not as a prison cell

I wanted to learn to be self-assured and to be able to feel comfortable in any place, anytime

I wanted to be able to talk to anyone, at anytime and feel completely in control and natural

As you can see I wanted quite a lot! By reading literature about how to gain confidence, how to increase self-confidence and about how to become a success helped me, in some degree, with all of the above. I realised that I needed to be a lot more care-free, I needed to stop worrying about what other people thought of me and I needed to appreciate what I had in life. Only by doing this will I ever have any chance of becoming a success.

I am now a lot more confident and proficient in my business life which is in the website promotion sector. It is a good place to be – happy at work and happy at home.
