Personal Confidence and Motivation In The Business World

in #life7 years ago

One of the most commonly debated and research fields in the business world is motivation. Why do people do what they do and how can we motivate others to do what we want them to do in the business place? If we understand how and why people are motivated, we can encourage them to be their best and do their best at work.

The more that people are successful and achieve the goals set for them, the more their confidence in their own abilities will grow as well, which can, in turn, make them even more motivated.

But you can also work on your own confidence and motivations in the work place in order to achieve your goals and intentions. When people are confident and motivated at work, there are many positive factors that result in the work place. These are:

  • Job satisfaction improves.
  • Effort increases.
  • Working environment improves.
  • Results are focus.
  • Drive is created
  • Everyone's full potential can be tapped.
  • Everyone is certain of the role they have to fulfill.

Personal Confidence

We all know people are confident. They seem to face life's obstacles with a level of calm that is enviable. They get into action to to respond to a problem before giving themselves time to dwell or worry too much.

Confident people are more successful at work because they have a belief in their own abilities to the point that they feel comfortable handling whatever comes at them. Make a presentation to the board? No problem the confident person prepare and executes the presentation without allowing fear to stop them. When someone is confident, they:

  • Focus on their strength while managing their weakness.
  • Aren't afraid to take risk.
  • Enjoy challenging themselves and setting high goals.
  • Seek out self-improvement opportunities.
  • Aren't afraid to admit when they make mistake.
  • Make good team leaders or mentors.
  • Can relate to customers or company members at any level of the organization.
  • Are honest about their shortcomings.

Personal Motivation

All of us have a desire to achieve something in our lives. We want to know that we have achieve something important, of value, of quality or of meaning. Being motivated to meet our goals means that we are able to:

  • Improve our self-confidence.
  • Enhance our self-discipline.
  • Set examples to ourselves of what we can achieve.
  • Stretch ourselves to stretch beyond our perceived limits.
  • Reward ourselves for reaching our goals.
  • Enjoy the recognition or perks associated with reaching our goals.

The more that we are able to achieve, the more self-confident that we become. Then the more self-confident that we become, the more we are b ale to achieve. The reverse can happen if we fail to achieve our goals. If we fall short of achieving something, we may experience a dip in our self-confidence level, which in turn may impact our motivation to try again.

Understand this relationship between motivation and self-confidence is important if you want to be able to either trait in yourself.

Defining Confidence

People sometimes confuse confidence with arrogance. The arrogance person is actually an insecure person and their arrogance is a way to hide their insecurities. Where arrogant person is boastful, a confident person has no need to boast - they know that their achievements speak for themselves. Where an arrogant person has trouble admitting they were wrong, a confident person is perfectly willing to admit when they are wrong - they know that the admission doesn't diminish their value or their abilities. If an arrogant person tends to focus on looking good or appear to be the best, a confident person focuses on being the best and doing the best.

Defining Motivation

A simple definition of motivation is that it s a description of a person's motive to action. You can have allow level of motivation to perform an action, for example if you are taking a long time to complete a project or even to begin it. but if you have drive towards a goal, objective, or target, we talk about you having positive motivation. Those who are highly motivated to achieve things in their lives are also are also likely to be more fulfilled as they accomplish the things that are important to them in their lives.
