Finding confidence in yourself, your business, your plans, and your future can feel like an uphill battle. We look at other business owners and we wish we had their talent or the confidence they exude. What can we do as business owners to not only set ourselves up as the expert with our client, but increase confidence in ourselves?

Today’s guest is no stranger to digging deep to find confidence, even in the face of adversity. Tania Gaylor of Tania Gaylor Family Photography in Adelaide, Australia, is one of the founding members of The Art of Selling Art™, in our Mindshift Membership™ and she is one-of-a-kind. A self-proclaimed introvert, Tania knows what she wants and she knows how to show up for her clients confidently. In this episode, Tania shares the actions she has taken in the last 15 years to find the confidence to make big changes in her business and overcome some staggering challenges in her life.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

  • Focus on the value you bring rather than trying convince clients
  • Do what feels right to you
  • Learning from failures
  • Exude quiet confidence over bossiness
