Do you ever feel nervous and awkward in your own skin?
My guest this week is Dr. Aziz Gazipura and he spent over a decade stuck in shyness and social anxiety. He remembers being completely scared about what others would think of him and avoided putting himself in situations that might lead to embarrassment.
Dr. Aziz spent the next 10 years studying anything he could find on psychology, transformation and confidence. He even obtained his Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. To say that Dr. Aziz was determined to master the art of self-confidence would be an understatement!
“No amount of money, possessions, achievement, or career success will give you the confidence and fulfillment you seek.”
Today, Dr. Aziz spends his time mentoring others on developing confidence in the areas of dating & relationships, career & entrepreneurship and public speaking. He’s the Founder of The Center for Social Confidence and author of The Solution To Social Anxiety.
As emerging entrepreneurs, we must not only become confident in ourselves, we must develop extraordinary self-confidence and learn to overcome the fear of rejection. Self worth and fear of rejection are often at the heart of many failed businesses and relationships.
It’s time that we stop listening to the old stories in our heads and start creating new and more empowering ones. Listen in as I dive into these issues with Dr. Aziz and you’ll hear his personal insights on how he overcame severe shyness and social anxiety to create an amazing business and build an incredible life.
