The sum of these skills is a good indicator of whether you will be successful as a
manager or as an employee. There are ways to increase your competencies and help
you to create a formula for success in nearly anything you attempt to do.
Identify competencies that you currently have. Write them down and work on
strengthening them. For example, if you have excellent relationship skills, try to build
on that. Be friendly to those you don't know. Do something nice for a stranger. Take
part in volunteer work for the homeless. Find ways to improve upon skills you already
have.
Make a list of the skills you would like to acquire or build upon. For example, if you
want to increase your self-confidence, learn to accept yourself for who you are.
Congratulate yourself on your successes, and help others. Set goals for developing
those skills and stick with them. There will always be room for improving your skills,
but work on adding new ones, too.
Maintain a positive attitude and keep pushing forward. Staying motivated throughout a
task will increase your self-confidence and provide you with greater self-esteem, which
will carry over to all areas of your life.
A successful entrepreneur believes in his abilities. He is not scared to explore un-
chartered territories, take risk and take difficult decisions.
