“If you want growth, if you want to change— start.” -Bruce Jeppesen

Having self-confidence is a priceless gift we can give ourselves. It is the cornerstone of a happy, healthy life. It is important that we feel good about ourselves because it affects how we treat others and how they treat us. Moreover, it is a need that we have to fill. Our level of self-confidence affects how much crap we tolerate in our lives. 

However, self-confidence is more than just what we see on the surface, it's more of what goes on inside our heads. We've all seen people who have no trouble speaking to anyone at any time without having second thoughts about their words or actions. But deep inside, they are full of negative self-talks and insecurities. 

In this episode, Bruce relates how his own lack of confidence has limited his potential and how this one simple step that most of us avoid, has helped him to overcome this challenge. Listen in as he shares why we should make developing self-confidence a  priority, why we should stop procrastinating, how our self-talk affects us and others, and how giving off 5 minutes of our time can change our trajectory.
