@Have Hope - congratulations on the job offer. I would direct your nervous energy to finding everything you can about the company and how they did business before. This may involve research with other people or other ways. I am not an expert on your new company, but it behooves you to become one and become a cheerleader and promoter of the company.

To dispel your doubts, you may want to look at all the positive experiences you have had in jobs in the past and what skills you carry with you from those work situations.

Building confidence is going to be important because you need to sell your ideas to people at the company and the more informed you are about how the company works and how they make money, the more successful you will be in directing business to them.

One thing I did was to put on my business face and demeanor in the office. I tried to stay focus on what I needed to do. If you are not in the office you may need to develop rapport with key people that can help you gain the info you need to fulfill your job.

The other thing I did was keep a success journal. I wrote down all the successes I had each day when the day was over or even during the day., Each success no matter how small helped me keep myself motivated.

I also got myself on a healthy diet with exercise and enough sleep. I used to do exercises at the beginning before work and again at lunch time or just a walk. Having a routine saved me from falling into negative thinking. When I got low energy during the day I checked with myself to see if I needed a healthy snack. That often brought me back.

Good luck Have Hope. @CANDC
