Building self confidence is like building a thing step by step ...brick by brick. It does not happen automatically but with hard work, persistent effort, and self correction.
To build self-confidence the secret is start dressing to look confident, walking with expanded chest & shoulders back and lastly talking with eye contact.

Key Points
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and people who lack it can find it difficult to become successful.
Two main things contribute to self-confidence: self-efficacy and self-esteem. You can develop self-confidence with these three steps:
- Prepare for your journey.
- Set out on your journey.
- Accelerate towards success.
Goal setting is probably the most important activity that you can learn in order to improve your self-confidence.
