Unleashing Your Badassery: How Confidence-Building Can Transform Your Business & Life
Episode Highlights:
Notable Quotes:
Actionable Takeaways:
1. Expand Your Comfort Zone: Identify activities that challenge you but don’t terrify you. This "middle circle" is where real growth happens. Whether it’s learning to tie knots, riding a horse, or fixing a car, stepping outside of your comfort zone builds confidence.
2. Redefine Networking: Seek out authentic networking opportunities that involve shared experiences rather than traditional events. Build relationships while doing something engaging, like fishing or attending a hands-on workshop.
3. Confidence Over Competence: Focus on building your confidence, not just your competency. Confidence leads to more opportunities and promotions, often outweighing technical skill.
4. Create a “New Night”: Try a "new night" challenge. Go out and do something you've never done before—whether it's wearing your hair differently, trying a new activity, or going somewhere you've never been. It’s a fun way to break out of your routine and build confidence.
5. Small Steps to Big Change: Start small when making bold moves outside your comfort zone. Don’t overwhelm yourself with big leaps—make manageable steps toward your goals.
