Why Humility will Kill Your Business
Many alternative health practitioners believe that humility is an important aspect of helping others. While this is true to a certain extent, a positive and accurate self-image is also important. Without strong self-awareness a person lacks confidence, self-esteem or belief in their ability to be of real and practical value to the world.
Humility will prevent you from promoting your services aggressively and effectively. It also prevents you from being rewarded appropriately for your efforts and the value you provide to others. And that prevents you from sharing your wonderful talents and gifts. It also denies others the benefit of your abilities, because, if they don't know about you, they will have to patronize the services of someone else.
