EXCLUSIVE...5 WAYS TO DEVELOP YOUR SELF ESTEEM* *By Chief Sunday Onos Akpoduado



Coming a week after granting  RichlistInternational Magazine an exclusive piece on self-esteem, Chief Sunday Onos Akpoduado shares five practical strategies for building unshakable confidence and personal worth. The respected thought leader emphasized that self-esteem is not inherited but intentionally developed through discipline, mindset shifts, and daily habits that reinforce one’s value.

First, master your inner dialogue. Chief Akpoduado insists that the words you speak to yourself shape your reality more than external opinions. Replace self-criticism with affirmations rooted in truth. When you catch yourself saying “I’m not good enough,” deliberately counter it with evidence of past wins, skills, and growth. Your mind believes what you repeat, so feed it language that builds rather than breaks.

Second, set small wins and celebrate them. Self-esteem grows when you keep promises to yourself. Break big goals into daily, achievable tasks and acknowledge each completion. Whether it’s waking early, finishing a report, or exercising for 20 minutes, these micro-victories compound into proof that you are capable and consistent. Confidence is built on a track record you create.

Third, guard your associations. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Chief Akpoduado advises auditing your circle and reducing exposure to chronic critics, gossipers, and dream killers. Instead, align with mentors, peers, and communities that challenge you to grow and remind you of your potential. Environment is stronger than willpower.

Fourth, develop competence through skill mastery. Nothing boosts self-esteem like knowing you’re good at something valuable. Pick one area tied to your purpose or career and commit to deliberate practice. Read, take courses, find a coach, and apply the knowledge. As your skill level rises, so does your self-respect, because you know you’ve earned your seat at the table.

Finally, serve others from your strength. Self-esteem flourishes when you see your life making a difference. Volunteer, mentor, or solve problems within your capacity. Contribution shifts focus from insecurity to impact, proving that you have something the world needs. As Chief Akpoduado noted in his Richlist International Magazine piece, the fastest way to feel valuable is to add value.
