    Manufacturing Confidence: The Art of Sculpting Swagger

    Manufacturing Confidence: The Art of Sculpting Swagger

    Manufacturing Confidence

    -Possibility Mindset. If you believe that anything is possible it gives you massive confidence to succeed. Keep fighting the good fight and believing in yourself. Everything is possible with the right effort, knowledge, skill, and resources. 

    -Being true to what you said you were going to do no exception. If you tell someone you will be on a meeting at 6:00pm, be on that meeting with no exceptions each and every time. If you are in an emergency make sure you call, text, or email that person that you will be late and do not let it happen again. 

    -Taking care of your body with diet and exercise. If you feel like crap physically, it's going to be extremely tough to feel good mentally and be positive about yourself. 

    -Conquering something tough. You have to go through tough times and succeed in order to really gain bulletproof confidence. Challenge yourself to do something tough mentally and physically each and every day. 

    -It's all about action. Confidence doesn't come to the thinkers. Think first and then act on your thoughts. 

    Believe that you are the absolute best. Today you are the best version of yourself. Be ok with that! Even though you want to attain more knowledge and skill, you are good enough today!

    Working Through Insecurities and Doubt to Become Against All Average

    Working Through Insecurities and Doubt to Become Against All Average

    Battling Insecurities and doubt

    Step 1: Identifying it

    If we don't put a name to what we are feeling, how are we going to work toward being more secure with outselves?

    Step 2: Create positive messaging about your insecurity

    So often when we are insecure we look at ourselves in the mirror and start the negative self talk. Change that into positive self talk about your specific insecurity. 

    Step 3: Work on the area in which you are insecure or doubtful

    When we work towards our goal of being more secure of ourselves we release a good amount of dopamine. This will help you to continue your path to success.

    Becoming Against All Average: Part 4

    Becoming Against All Average: Part 4

    Sharpen Your Knife

    When you are at your lowest, and feeling down and out, continue to work on yourself. Read a book, listen to a podcast, take a class online. With new skills comes confidence and new opportunity.

    Action Outplays Thought

    Small consistent action builds momentum.  By taking action we can take our minds out of a consistent loop of anxiety, worry, and fear. Remember, a step in the wrong direction is better than no step at all. We learn from doing.

    Against All Average Mindset

    Don’t Pick and Choose Where You Put Your Energy

    When things aren’t going well in our lives we tend to pick and choose where we put our energy. Instead, maintain balance in your health, life, business, and relationships.

    Be Solutions Based

    Focus on a variety of solutions for each problem. Ask for help and ask for advice. Sometimes you need someone else’s viewpoint to see the solution.

    Becoming Against All Average: Part 2

    Becoming Against All Average: Part 2

    When you believe that the world works for you and not against you, you give without expectation, and you continue to fail forward, you are well on your way to becoming Against All Average!

     

    Against All Average Mindset: Part 2

     

    The World Works for You

    You must understand that the only person in your way is you. The world works for us at all times. Difficult days are not setbacks, but simple lessons one must learn to move forward. 

    Giving Without Expectation

    If you truly and wholeheartedly give without expectation or wanting recognition, you will be amazed at the fulfillment and success that comes back to you both emotionally and monetarily.

    Fail Forward

    Learn from your mistakes and continue to push forward. Those who fail forward the quickest reach the highest tiers of success.

    Possibility Mindset

     

    When we fully think, understand, and believe that anything and everything is possible in our lives we will start living in a way that prepares us for success. If you don’t think it can happen, it won’t. If you think it is possible, it will. 

     

    Say Yes

     

    Too often we overthink a positive opportunity. Keep it simple. If something is positive and moves you or your career forward, say yes to it. You never know what is on the other side of yes.

     

    Be Grateful

     

    You have to be grateful for where you are, and not where you are going. Every day on this earth is a blessing. Find positivity even in your darkest hours. Show and practice gratitude each and every day.
