| Confidence will conquer what weakens you
Ever notice how the last day of even a short vacation can send your mind into a tizzy about all the work you have to do once  you get home? I admit I let that happen to me a bit this past week, when my hubby and were "adventuring" on the motorcycle through beautiful Utah and Nevada (and, yessss... the Nevada portion of the trip was toasty! 110 degrees in Zion! Whew!).
As a solo-preneur, times of change (even if it's great for the growth of your business) can be stressful, and those demons of self-doubt seem to show up out of nowhere! Why do we do that?
I forced myself to sit and have a chat with God, and I realized that my fears were not rational, and that where there is fear, there cannot be faith. Being responsible for your own business means acting in faith, and moving forward with confidence. That same confidence is what builds charisma both on camera, and off. My friend, and fab casting director of Days of Our Lives, Marni Saitta even said something about this in her quote that she gave me about "Charisma" in this issue! Funny how that happens, too; Feel comfortable moving forward with your business, and validation seems to come from out of nowhere! I like that experience!
May all your self-doubt phases ( we all have them) be short and may they even verify how good you can be! |
Quote from Marni Siatta, Casting Director for Days of Our Lives:
When I asked her to describe charisma, " I think it is an innate sense of confidence and comfort in your own skin, and I think you always have to leave an air of mystery about you. With actors, I think what makes them charismatic is that they surrender themselves completely to the character and become confident in every choice because they are comfortable in that character's skin." She added that you don't have to be an actor to learn this level of comfort and confidence. |
