On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the internet.

I teach go getters in life, how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's another Tuesday and another great day to have a new episode of The Confidence Podcast. I'm your host, Trish Blackwell, your confidence coach.

And you're listening to episode number 473. I'm really excited about coaching on this topic, because we're talking about how to know what you want.

But wait, I don't know if you noticed the title when you were pushing play on your app. How to know exactly what you want. We're not just going to talk vague ideas here.

I want to talk to you about how to know exactly what you want, because the bottom line is that it takes confidence to know exactly what you want.

So many people don't know what they want, not to mention know exactly what they want. And we're going to talk about the reasons why, but fundamentally it's a lack of confidence that that's available to you, or that someone like you can have something like that.

And so that's organ be coaching on today. It takes confidence to know exactly what you want. And then here's the thing. Next step, it then takes courage to believe in yourself enough to create the result you want.

Take note here. Courage means that it's a choice. It's a thought pattern that creates an emotional response and your actions are courageous.

And therefore you continue to get results because you keep showing up. But the thing is it's interesting to note that the main reason most people get derailed from their goals is because they get discouraged.

We think discouragement is a problem. We think it's an indication that something's gone wrong. We think there's something wrong with us. I'm just so discouraged.

I want to remind you, confidence and courage are besties. Where one is, you're going to find the other and where there's a need for one, there's a need for the other. And I love this because it's not just believe in yourself and you got it.

But hey, let's let's have the confidence and the boldness to decide what we want and believe that we're capable of it. Then let's grow into it now. Let's have the courage to not give up no matter how discouraged we get.

So that I love it. We're going to go so deep on this today. This episode is going to teach you how to do both. How to have courage and confidence. How to know exactly what you want and how to really get it in your life.

We're going to deconstruct the reasons why being bold and clear and knowing what you want is tough in the first place. And why it's not that you're doing something wrong. It's just that we need a new approach.

But then we're going to go into how to trust yourself enough to think big and believe big. Look, this episode is for anyone with big goals for 2022.

If you're already siked and jazzed up as you hear, hey, press the forward button for this to a friend for an episode to this episode to a friend.

Because I'll tell you, you're going to follow through a lot more and implement the coaching you get here when you have someone else in your life to talk it through with.

And that you know is hearing the same thing. We grow with those around us. And as you rise up, you're going to bring others up with you. So specifically in this episode, we're going to be coaching on the reasons why we don't know what we want.

I've got, oh, how many reasons did I come up with? This is by no means an exhaustive list. But I came up with six pretty solid reasons why I think from these, you know, seven or eight years of coaching I've been doing now.
