Hi Kenneth,
And the first person you have to sell on yourself - is yourself.
I don't know how many people I've talked to about blogging who said some form of, "I can't do that."
I mentioned blogging to them because I was aware of their expertise, knowledge, and ability to express their opinions. Yet, they were unaware of these abilities they already possessed.
The way to learn to blog is to blog.
The way to sell yourself is to believe in yourself and then honestly write about what you know.
Only after you sell yourself on the idea that you CAN do this, will you be able to sell anyone else on yourself.
Self-doubt and fear of failure are two co-conspirators working to stop each of us from succeeding as we want. We have to learn to trust ourselves and put these dream killers behind us before we will accept the risks and put our thoughts out in front of the entire world.
When we learn to trust ourselves and speak in our own voice, others will learn to trust us, too. That will put us firmly on the path to achieving our goals.
All the best.
Act on your dream!
JD
