Have you been tempted to let go of your dreams, your business? Has your second-guessing kicked up a notch? Many of you are service professionals – coaches, consultants, therapists and trainers. You may hear, people aren’t looking for services right now, not spending money. And, they are absolutely out of their minds.

Now is a time that you may be vulnerable to slipping into self-doubt. If you’ve started looking for more classes, more experts or more research, self-doubt is attempting to creep in. Believe me, I know, I’m vulnerable to it too! Now is the time to acknowledge your accomplishments, what you know and what you have to share!

You might consider this, increase your self confidence by writing down what you are capable of doing. I’m not suggesting a quasi CV or resume. And, don’t be shy either. Stretch yourself. Look at your skills, expertise, experience, etc and get creative about what you have to share. Include what you think you could do and how you might do it.

A few years ago, I responded to a RFP. The request was for a mental health consultant. The task was a bit of a shift for me. They wanted someone to assess, review, and revise a preschool education program to ensure optimal mental health for all. (We don’t take small bites do we?) The program needed to be in compliance with mandates that required overall integration of mental health from administration – staff (teaching and support) children, parents and the community.

I did win the contract. And, the greater gift for me was this, by looking at my expertise using a different perspective, I saw myself, my abilities, knowledge, experience, etc in a new way. I was amazed. Amaze yourself. Take some time now to write out your gifts. Really allow yourself to see what, until now you haven’t fully seen. You’re needed right now! It’s time to show up.
