“If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right”, said Henry Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company.
No wonder this confident man put the wheels of modern automobiles in motion and also acted as a powerful catalyst in the 20th century economy and society.
In today’s world that so strongly emphasizes the importance of self-confidence, the modern man has no choice but to spruce up his confidence levels or he’ll be left far behind in the rat race and never be able to rise above it.
“Unstoppable Confidence” is a 6-part course that will help you improve on and raise those confidence levels just the way you want.
Through this module you will participate in exciting exercises and assignments, which are more than just learning experiences.
“Unstoppable Confidence” will help you break through all barriers and fixed notions you have about yourself and life in general and move forward in life.
Confident people are successful people. They stick it out till they get what they want. This is because they confidently believe in their goals and their own ability.
If you are reading this now, you are aware that a lack of confidence has seriously held you back in achieving the important goals of your life. It is time you do away with your misgivings and lack of self-belief.
You don’t want to be timid and quiet when the world around you is confident and brimming with life, do you? So, fight the coyness and get what you want - SELF-CONFIDENCE! The Unstoppable kind…

Take the assessment and all will be revealed!
Rona Tyrrell was a member of a women’s spirituality group at her church. At 43, she was shy to speak up with friends, or in groups. During a convention on seniors activity group Rona was unexpectedly asked to speak to the members. After the initial panic and fear, she slowly found herself relaxing. Deep breaths and pep talk on the way to the pulpit worked! She was finally able to give an anxiety-free talk to the group.
Rona Tyrrell was taking a confidence building course at the time and was 2 weeks into it.
Or let’s take the case of Peter Malloy. 24 year old Peter was a skilled graphic designer and though his resume exhibited his credentials, he could never really voice them. Since most jobs required him to interact with clients, he failed to make an impression on prospective employers due to his lack of communication skills and self-confidence. Luckily, Peter enrolled himself in a confidence building course and within a few weeks got through an interview at an international firm.
Now isn’t that a very positive note to start a Confidence Building course?
You agree?
Great!
This module is all about self-discovery. Unless you know where you are, how will you move to where you want to be?
Before we begin confidence building exercises that will work on areas where you need more confidence, take these 2 assessment tests below.
*************
Self-assessment
*************
Rate the following statements from 0 – 10 based on how much you believe each of them to be true.
- 0 would mean that you don’t believe in the statement at all and that it’s utter nonsense.
- 10 would mean you think it’s completely true.
*********
Statements
*********
- I like myself as a person
- I am as good as everyone else
- When I look at myself in the mirror I like what I see
- I don't feel like an overall failure
- I am happy to be me
- I respect myself
- I’d rather be me than anyone else
- What others say to me has no affect
- I enjoy communicating to others
- I have the skills and qualities to make myself a success
- I like to take risks
- I am not afraid to make mistakes
- I can laugh at myself
Now sum up all your scores.
Want to know where your confidence level stands?
Here goes…
If you have scored:
100 – 130
You have a high level of self esteem and confidence. All you have to do is fine tune it and increase your confidence in a couple of areas.
65 – 99
You have a medium to high ranking in self esteem. Whilst most of the time you are okay, there are times when you can feel rock bottom. You need more consistent feelings that you are confident and learn to experience these more regularly.
30 – 64
You have low levels of self esteem.
You lack confidence in yourself in most areas and need to have an overall confidence building plan.
0 – 29
You have reached rock bottom and think that everything and everyone is against you. You are stuck in a rut and need to get out of it quick.
So, what are your scores like? Are they satisfactory, or are you hiding them under the couch?
Hold it, if you are! There’s nothing to hide or feel ashamed about.
What you could do is write down some of the observations you made along this assessment.
What do you specifically need to concentrate on with regards to building up your confidence?
After you have written these down, take a look at the ‘Confidence Evaluator’ in the attachment. This is a test to make you fully aware of what you need to work on.
Complete the test fully and look at your scores in each section.
What do you notice?
It is not in every area of your life where you need confidence, only some.
Please get these down – the first step to improving anything is knowing where you are currently at.
Okay, so that’s it for this module.
Assess yourself with the ‘Confidence Evaluator’ and see how you do. All the best!
