I have to be the center of attention in my job. I am a mobile DJ. It took me forever practicing to be able to talk on the mic in a way that demands attention.

Now that I have that mastered (pretty much public speaking), I feel a lot better at my worth in my job. The music part is easy, I have been a DJ for 15+ years, but those were mostly spent in clubs and bars and online radio stations where I didn't have to be on the mic.

I feel a lack of confidence in other areas of my life, but it seems less pressing because I conquered one of my demons.

If you can face down one of your fears and defeat it, you will gain confidence in other areas. You will know you are strong enough to deal with what is served up for you on any given day.
