Podcast Summary
Entrepreneurship as a Self-Development Program: Entrepreneurship builds confidence through challenges, sales are the true barometer, and it develops essential skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and leadership.
Building lasting confidence isn't about trying to fake it till you make it, but rather about creating and facing challenges through entrepreneurship. According to Bedros Kulian, entrepreneurism is the greatest self-development program on the planet. It pushes individuals to develop confidence, character, integrity, problem-solving skills, decision-making abilities, and leadership qualities. However, it's crucial to remember that sales are the only true barometer in business. By dealing with rejection, loss, and financial risks, entrepreneurs can build resilience, resourcefulness, emotional discipline, and leadership skills, ultimately leading to increased confidence.
Building Confidence Through Entrepreneurship: Focus on the credibility, confidence, and competence loop to expand comfort zone and build lasting confidence. Stack small wins to build credibility and integrity, which leads to confidence and competence.
Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for self-development, but it's not until you start making money and growing that you'll encounter challenges that force you to expand your comfort zone. The key to building lasting confidence, which is essential for leadership and success, is to focus on the credibility, confidence, and competence loop. By building credibility through small wins and integrity, you'll become more confident, which will enable you to take action and become competent in new skills. Confidence and competence, in turn, will lead to more credibility. So, start stacking small wins, like setting and keeping a morning routine, to build credibility and integrity, and watch your confidence and competence grow.
Small decisions can impact overall success: Small daily choices can either build on wins or stack up as losses, impacting success in various areas of life. Prioritize intentions and make deliberate choices to align with goals.
The small decisions we make every day, like hitting the snooze button on our alarm or skipping our morning water intake, can have a significant impact on our overall success. These choices, whether intentional or not, can either build on our wins or stack up as losses. By breaking a promise to ourselves, such as hitting the snooze button, we erode credibility and trust in our ability to follow through. This can lead to a domino effect of losses in various areas of our life. Conversely, keeping our promises to ourselves and consistently making positive choices can increase our chances of success. Just as a winning sports team is more likely to win the next game, a salesperson who has just closed a deal is more likely to close the next one. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize our intentions and make deliberate choices that align with our goals.
Keeping promises to yourself builds confidence: Consistently honoring commitments to yourself builds trust and credibility, leading to increased confidence
Keeping promises to yourself is the foundation for building confidence. Each time you fail to follow through on a commitment, no matter how small, it can create a domino effect of negative feelings and self-perception. This can impact your motivation and performance in various areas of your life, from workouts to personal relationships. By consistently honoring your commitments to yourself, you can build trust and credibility, which in turn leads to increased confidence. It's important to recognize that breaking promises to yourself can have a similar impact on your self-esteem as lying to others, and the bridge between inconsistency and confidence is a difficult one to cross. Therefore, prioritize keeping small promises to yourself, such as sending gratitude text messages or drinking enough water, to build the habit of trust and confidence in yourself.
Building credibility and trust within yourself: Focus on stacking small wins and gradually building competence to overcome fears and achieve bigger goals, as confidence comes from being competent and being competent comes from having credibility and trust within yourself
Building credibility and trust with yourself is essential for gaining confidence and achieving your goals. By keeping promises to yourself and following through on commitments, no matter how small, you can build a foundation of trust and confidence that will help you succeed in various aspects of your life. This could be in your personal fitness goals, business ventures, or career advancement. However, if you lack confidence, it often stems from a lack of credibility and trust within yourself. For instance, if you're afraid to ask for money or make sales calls due to fear of rejection or hurting people's feelings, it's a sign that you need to work on building trust and confidence within yourself first. By focusing on stacking small wins and gradually building competence, you can overcome your fears and ultimately achieve your bigger goals. Remember, confidence comes from being competent, and being competent comes from having credibility and trust with yourself.
Building Confidence with Small Wins: Choose one thing to commit to for 30 days, keep the promise, track success, and watch confidence grow.
Building confidence and credibility goes hand in hand with competence and consistent action. By stacking small wins and learning from temporary setbacks, we can increase our confidence, which in turn boosts our competence and leads to greater fulfillment and meaning. To put this into practice, choose one thing to commit to for the next 30 days and keep that promise to yourself. Keep track of the days you succeed and notice how your confidence grows, along with your sense of accomplishment and credibility. Remember, every small win contributes to the bigger picture of becoming a champion in your personal or professional life. So, take the challenge and share your commitment on social media, using the hashtag #30daychallenge. Let's build our confidence together, one small victory at a time.
Establish a daily routine for small wins and increased confidence: Consistently sticking to a daily routine can lead to progress, goals achievement, and a boost in confidence.
Committing to a consistent daily routine, whether it's drinking water in the morning or working out for 30 days, can lead to increased confidence and a string of wins. Consistency is key to seeing progress and achieving your goals. So, if you're looking to boost your confidence and make positive changes in your life, consider establishing a daily routine and sticking to it. Remember, the small wins add up over time, and the sense of accomplishment can be a powerful motivator.
