UPGRADE!

How successful do you want to be? If you have a negative self-image, you cannot achieve success because that would contradict with who you are currently. The feelings of fear, not being good enough, or distrust of your own abilities are the indicators that you want to pursue something greater than your self-image allows you to have.

Change for the better is always good. Here are a few tips that can help you with your transition.

• Who are you: Take some time to think about the person you are today. What are your best qualities and what are your worst qualities? Are you truly happy with yourself?
• Change is necessary: Is your image working for you? If you are not prospering or reaching your goals you may need to make some minor adjustments. This does not mean you can't continue to be yourself. It simply means you need a little fine tuning.
• Get feedback: Constructive criticism can't hurt. Talk with your friends and people you trust that will be honest with you. This will give you some ideas on where you can start.
• Create: Change the negatives into positive. Get a new hairstyle, get a professional makeup artist to show you new ideas,  add some color to your wardrobe, buy a new fragrance,  practice good posture, hold your head up at all times, when talking give eye contact, speak pleasant and with correct English, greet with a handshake, and always smile.
• Research: Educate yourself. It's always good to know what you're talking about. Ask questions during your conversations. People like to know that you are interested and everyone loves a good listener.
• Change your circle: You are what you eat. Surround yourself around people who are doing great things. As the saying goes, 'when in Rome...'
• Uplift yourself daily: Wake up everyday with positive thoughts. Encourage yourself, be your number one fan, be the example, know that people are watching, and remember that it's not about you.
