Although clothes don’t make the man, they certainly affect the way he feels about himself. No one is more conscious of your physical appearance than you are. When you don’t look good, it changes the way you carry yourself and interact with other people.
Speaking up is all very well, but not just for the sake of it. If you get crushed by someone else it will soon dent whatever confidence you had. Practise speaking out loud, getting confident just at speaking may be an important first step. Building assertiveness skills, being able to put across your point of view (and believe you have the right to say it) can be practised separately.
But speaking up is generally dependent on knowing your facts, being confident in your abilities. If sitting in a meeting where the subject is something you know little about - keep schtum! But when your area of brilliance is on the agenda - when you have every right to feel confident - speak up. Nothing builds confidence like knowledge and expertise.

Taking Inspired Action
Never confuse motion with action. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Have you watched a cat who is trying to catch something tasty for dinner? As a kid, I often used to watch our cat in the garden. She would find a spot on the ground where she could lie hidden under some foliage and would sit there, motionless, for a very long time. She was clearly very alert, however, and the slightest sound or movement would elicit a slight but sharp turn of the head. As soon as she saw something which she thought might make a tasty snack, she would lock onto it, wait until it came close enough, and then – at just the right moment – suddenly pounce. She usually got her prey, and I don’t think the bird or mouse ever saw what was coming.
We have been taught, for the most part, that we need to work hard to get anywhere in life. Nothing comes easy, right? Success comes from persistence, determination, blood, sweat and tears. Part of this may well be true – clarity about where we are heading and persistence are important. But I don’t believe that a great deal of effort is needed to get where we want to be. It’s more about the kind of action we take. Call it ‘working smart.’ Our cat knew all about it. I like the phrase ‘inspired action’ since this really gets to the heart of the matter. We need do something: it’s no use sitting around and expecting results to just happen. But we need to do the right thing. When we take just the right action at just the right time, amazing things can happen. We can learn a lot from the way our cat went about things.
Be clear about your intentions.

12 Pervasive Myths About Starting a Small Business
Few subjects are as plagued by myths and falsehoods as starting a small business. Everywhere you turn, someone is making sweeping proclamations about small businesses – the difficulty of starting one, the risks involved, the odds of failure or what you “have to do” in order to make it. And unlike in some fields, myths about small business are not simply harmless old wives tales. Rather than leaving you to fend for yourself against business dogma, Business Pundit assembled – and debunked – this list of 12 pervasive myths about running a small enterprise.

5 Ways to Enjoy Each Day
Well its Friday. As someone who works Monday to Friday, I can tell you there is something special about today. At work we dress casually, chat more to each other (usually about plans for the weekend) and are just generally happier.For many, Fridays are one last hurdle before the weekend. These people live for their weekends and, on the one hand, I can hardly blame them. Weekends are when they get to do what they want to do, whether it is partying, eating out, playing sport, etc. On the other hand, it seems such a waste to simply “wish away” 5 days of the week as I see many people do. The big idea for today is: enjoy each and every day.
