Surround yourself with people who will encourage you to become the person you want to become and who exemplify the characteristics in their lives that you want to be a part of yours. If your environment isn’t working for you, change your environment to one that will better condition you to become the person you want to become.
Have courage. Assertiveness demands courage. It is the first quality you need because being assertive most times means overcoming the fears of doing and saying things that you know you must but may not be easy. So, know yourself – what works for you. Be confident in that. And have the courage to do what must be done.
