Episode 115: Creating Confidence Through Experience


Listen Later

Now that I’m in Hawaii, I decided to take advantage of the ocean and take up paddleboarding. Before Maui, I had been once or twice, and those couple times were on a lake with friends. Here, I’m by myself. In the Pacific Ocean. It’s a situation that could induce panic had I let it. But instead of giving into my fears, I thought instead, “what’s the worst that could happen?” I took that mindset when I went paddleboarding the next day and the day after that, and I had a moment of clarity. I was getting better. And then, I realized that this progression with paddleboarding is the perfect analogy for any situation that requires growth of confidence through experience. So, of course, I had to share!

 

In this episode, I discuss:

  • Recognizing fears;
  • Pushing past limits;
  • How confidence is created through experience;
  • My anxieties at the beginning of my entrepreneur journey;
  • Making mistakes;
  • A client that almost broke me;
  • Failure being part of the path to confidence;
  • Seizing opportunities;
  • Growing a team;
  • Allowing yourself the chance to grow;
  • Self-discovery and knowledge as a life-long journey;
  • Surround yourself with people who challenge you to be better.
  • Building confidence is a journey that isn’t ever really over. Instead, through experience and pushing past fears, you discover new things to be confident about! It’s taken me a while to get where I am now- personally and in terms of business. If I hadn’t taken risks or if I let that one client break me, I wouldn’t be here talking to you from the beautiful island of Maui. So, take the risk, learn from your mistakes, and grow that confidence through amazing experiences! You can do this!
