I’ve been speaking to a bunch of people lately ranging from eager young entrepreneurs to experienced businessmen and one thing that people often have trouble with is confidence in talking about what they do.

The reasons for the lack of confidence are varied but mostly it boils down to one of two things. Either people fear that they might face opposition to their opinion so keep it to themselves or they are so involved and analytical about what they are working on that they only see the problems and struggle to express the great things they are achieving.

One way to get around this is to find confidence in your passion. Rather than talking about a project that you are working on or a business that you are involved with try starting off by talking about the things that you love.

It’s awesome speaking to people who are really passionate about what they do. If you can’t find confidence in talking about your current venture then try using your passion for the industry as a starting point.
