Mindset, Confidence & Marketing Yourself with Anthea Armar
Building your authority means publishing — that horribly clichéd phrase "putting yourself out there". For many people, that feels like you are exposing yourself to criticism, possibly even ridicule. But part of building authority and trust is just that, the willingness to take that risk and share even in the face of potential criticism. So how do we deal with this? How can we build our own confidence so that, in turn, we can build our authority?
In this episode, Anthea Armar and Alastair McDermott discuss mindset in business, how to separate yourself conceptually from a business that is based around your personal expertise, and why confidence & clarity is essential to your business.
They also discuss how to deal with perfectionism, what it means to have competition, and why it's okay if things don't work out the way you expected.
“Being perfect goes against what leadership is: you're role modeling behaviour. By you trying to show up perfect, it sets the bar so high for anybody trying to follow you that it becomes unreachable, and instead of inspiring people, you demotivate them.” -- Anthea Armar on The Recognized Authority podcast
“Just take action. Whatever happens, you will still be okay. [If it fails] you're in a position to actually learn from it and realise what could have gone better, and that shapes your character, and that's what builds your confidence.” -- Anthea Armar on The Recognized Authority podcast
