In Episode 5 of the Brand You podcast, we dive into the essential topic of building confidence to share your personal brand with the world. Picking up from last week’s discussion on setting the foundational elements of your personal brand, this episode focuses on overcoming the common barrier of self-doubt. Without confidence, starting a personal brand can feel like an insurmountable task, so this episode tackles how to break through that initial fear.

We share our personal experiences of overcoming self-doubt and building confidence. We emphasise that confidence isn’t something you’re born with; it’s built through taking action, even when it feels scary. They discuss the importance of liking yourself, feeling worthy, and having a clear understanding of what you want to say, who you want to help, and what you want to achieve with your personal brand. The key message is to start before you’re ready and not to wait for perfection—confidence comes from doing, not from waiting.

The episode encourages listeners to focus on their own journey and to not let the fear of others’ opinions hold them back—confidence grows along the way.
