You don't need to be perfect to be a good team leader. You just need to be one step ahead of those you are leading! And if someone in your team eventually overtakes you, congratulate them, and take pride in having helped them get there.
Everyone starts out on their journey in SFI with no experience in SFI. They might have experience in some other business, and be able to apply that knowledge here, but they still need to learn how to best apply that knowledge, in the context of SFI.
Fortunately, there is a wealth of knowledge available to you, freely contributed by those with more experience, so you can easily find out what works and what doesn't. Learn from the experiences of others, and you will be fine.
As for low self-esteem, only you can change that. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. So look for as many ways as possible to feel good about yourself.
Look in the mirror and compliment yourself on your appearance, your fashion sense, your smile, the way you have overcome whatever difficulties you may have faced in the past, the fact that you are able to put food on the table and a roof over your head.
Congratulate yourself on having the wisdom to start your own business, the determination to be successful, and the courage to ask for advice.
Each time you compliment yourself like this, you are depositing 'positive' thoughts into your memory bank. Keep making deposits!
Try to set yourself some small, easy-to-reach goals, and take pride in accomplishing them. Feel good about each small victory. If things don't go according to plan, briefly look at what you did, and see if there is anything you could have done better, learn from your mistakes, file it under 'experience' and move on.
And always make sure you spent more time feeling good about your successes than you do revisiting your failures.
