Sometimes I wonder why Dharmesh Shah isn't required reading for everybody. This is an excerpt from today's article, "9 Qualities Of Truly Confident People"

#9. They only seek approval from the people who really matter.

You say you have 10k Twitter followers? Swell. 20k Facebook friends? Cool. A professional and social network of hundreds or even thousands? That’s great. But that also pales in comparison to earning the trust and respect of the few people in your life that truly matter. When we earn their trust and respect, no matter where we go or what we try, we do it with true confidence – because we know the people who truly matter the most are truly behind us.

I don't think that I need to add anything. You can read the entire article here.

Also, the latest issue of Sold Magazine came out today and I'm pleased that they've included two of my articles.

Page 44 - "Developing Confidence & Personal Motivation"

Page 46 - "Developing Relationships and Their Impact on Your Influence"

Both are true stories with a lesson (or two). You can read these articles (and dozens of others) at Sold Magazine.

BTW, if you like the magazine, have it sent to your inbox...
