How many times have you told yourself, I'll do it when I feel a little bit more confident? When I feel more ready, when I know what I'm doing, when I'm sure that I won't fail, when I stop caring so much about what everyone else thinks...
It's not really how confidence works, is it? Confidence isn't something that you magically acquire and then start making bold moves. You make the moves, and then those moves become the evidence that you can trust yourself to keep going.
Today's guest, Simone Knego, knows this firsthand. She was struggling with self-doubt and didn't feel like she was doing anything big in the world, so when someone asked her to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, she said yes. She is not a climber, but that climb changed how she saw herself, and how her six kids saw her too.
You don't need more confidence to make the move. Sometimes the move is exactly how you become the next version of yourself!
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why confidence is built, not born
- Worrying about what other people think
- Dropping the "just"
- The Control-Alt-Delete method
- Keeping the promises you make to yourself
- Finding your Kilimanjaro
- Handling criticism
- The REAL Method™
- Self-trust and preparation
