Your level of confidence goes up and down depending on specific situations. For example, if I am doing sales training, reading financials, or talking about psychrometrics, I am confident. If I get into a conversation about databases or social media, I am less confident. If I am riding a dirt bike I am confident. If I am on ice skates, I am far less confident.
However confident people have an underlying belief in themselves that transcends situational issues.
This self-confidence empowers them to be adaptable to the unpredictable environment around them. They have a belief that no matter what happens, they will find a way to succeed.
Even if you are not confident, you have the power to be confident. It is under your control.
When you are in a slump, it dings your confidence. But you need confidence to come out of it.
Confidence is important to your success. It is a complicated emotion involving many internal and external factors – but you can learn to be confident, and turn it on when you are not feeling it.
Let me know if you need some ice skating lessons! I used to teach that before I moved to Nashville!
Great advice. And beware of gaslighters. They undermine your confidence. They don’t compliment you when you have a $20k week, but will be quick to call you out when you make a $20 mistake.
Confidence is everything.
