This will help to build up self confidence.

Be clear on your goals.
 The first thing we should do, is that we should be clear on our goals. What is the purpose of us doing an activity? We should set a goal for whatever we plan to do, and then only if we plan to challenge ourselves will we achieve that target. It is an important step because it will lead us to create another goal and reach another larger goal. This will help to build up self confidence.

Self-Confident	Low Self-Confidence
Doing what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it.	Governing your behavior based on what other people think.
Being willing to take risks and go the extra mile to achieve better things.	Staying in your comfort zone, fearing failure, and so avoid taking risks.
Admitting your mistakes, and learning from them.	Working hard to cover up mistakes and hoping that you can fix the problem before anyone notices.
Waiting for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments.	Extolling your own virtues as often as possible to as many people as possible.
Accepting compliments graciously. “Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospectus. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.”	Dismissing compliments offhandedly. “Oh that prospectus was nothing really, anyone could have done it.”

Face your fears. 
We usually cope with fear in whatever things that we do, and this emotion will have great impact against our self confidence. We should try our best to not let fear be an obstacle to our success. Facing your fears is the best way to get rid of them.

Look at What You've Already Achieved

Think about your life so far, and list the ten best things you've achieved in an "Achievement Log." Perhaps you came top in an important test or exam, played a key role in an important team, produced the best sales figures in a period, did something that made a key difference in someone else’s life, or delivered a project that meant a lot for your business.

Build up more positive thinking.
 Positive thinking and emotions such as excitement can greatly improve self confidence helping us to deal with any difficulties. We shall make this a great motivation step to control our feelings and do not let those negative feelings stop us for reaching our goals.


Find more guidance. 
It is true that self confidence can be gained through ourselves, but sometimes we need some intensive guidance from successful people. We can learn from them, treat them as our mentor, and emulate their success and confidence. This is essential because whenever we are facing any difficulties, we will continue to be inspired and motivated by these successful persons. Hence, this will eventually greatly improve your self confidence.

Take action and make all those things that we learned happen. 
We receive information to gain self confidence, even if we went to many as seminars or read a lot of books about motivation, it will not work if we don't do this last step. Remember the goals that we set, implement that particular goals every single day, day and night. Revise what went wrong and try to improve it. This will help to improve your self confidence.

Take pride in your good qualities.
