Don’t sell yourself short by trying to copy everyone else or packaging your product in same, old and boring way. People are tired of conventional way of doing things. Remember that you are unique and you don’t have to be anyone else to succeed. You will only comfortably rise to occasion when you remain true to yourself and deliver how you know best. 3. Be confident. If you have to rise to occasion, your confidence must be evident in your voice and your body language. It’s okay to be nervous. Just don’t let it show in your voice, or in your behavior. Get yourself together. This is moment that you have been waiting for.

People can sense a lack of confidence and nervous energy. If you come across as confident, it will be easier for a prospect to believe you and buy into your idea. Lack of confidence on your part will put credibility of product or service you are offering in question. 4. Focus on value of your product or service. Stay connected to importance of product or service you are selling and remind yourself of value that it will bring to those who buy it.

Reconnect with initial vision of you had about this product or service. Think about how far you have come and how much you have worked to get to this point in your life. This is big moment that you have been waiting for. Encourage yourself and rise to occasion!

5. Detach your emotions from negative outcomes. Life patterns are cyclical and on some days you will succeed and on others you will fail. Some days are good and others bad. Celebrate good outcomes and improve on them. Don’t beat yourself up over negative outcomes. It’s not worth it.

The only thing to learn from failure is how not to do it again. Consider it good practice for next time.

Growth occurs because you feel a push, or pull, to move in a direction. The objective is to obtain a balance such that discontent disappears. Once you achieve necessary change, you will be able to leave discontented feelings behind you. Focus on situation that makes you feel discontent, not on other issues that may, or may not, make you feel better. The contented feeling from "doing busy work" or fixing something that isn't broken is fleeting, unless you tackle core issue.

The growth comes in once you embrace change. When you move from an area of familiar, you must learn something new or different to adapt to unfamiliar. However, in this transition, you are putting your life back in balance and moving forward, which eliminates those feelings of discontent.

Don't let discontent drag you down! Listen to your gut! It will always tell you when change is necessary. It might be a simple gnawing feeling or a twisted knot. In either case, be honest with yourself and trust that feeling. Discontent is universe's way of telling you that a change is necessary within yourself to resolve situation. It is there to warn you of situations and guide you when things need to change.

To make change, you have to know where you are and where you want to be in near future. However, one thing to keep in mind is that you want to achieve some type of balance to counter discontent. Remember that discontent is caused from an imbalance in one or more parts of your life. Ask yourself, and focus on, what it is that is causing you most concern. Once you are able to determine issue, only then can you set out on a goal that satisfies feeling. Such an approach will not only restore balance, but it will also allow you to move forward to a more fulfilling life.
