| Self-esteem is the key to how we perform
in all aspects of our lives. When our self-esteem is high,
we feel better and can face up to the challenges of life
much more effectively and increase our success. As we
are successful in coping with these challenges our self-esteem
improves. Thus we get into a positive cycle where our
increasing self-esteem gives us more success and this
boosts our self-esteem.

giving her the best territory. Here the worst salesperson
had been averaging commissions of more than $10,000.
Everyone expected her to earn at least $20,000 a month
in this excellent territory. Alas she continued to earn
$5,000 a month.
What had happened? She was a $5000 a month person. Her

gave her. We all have this type of self-concept in each
arena of our lives. Our self-esteem is the totality
of all these self-concepts in the different arenas of
our lives. Here are a few ways to boost your self-esteem:
