First off, self-confident people. So how do we build self-confidence? Because that's what you're belief.

What I mean is, somebody self-confident. Here's what I know about them. They've built a reputation with themselves.

So they don't need to build a reputation with other people.

Okay, so if you're really... What do you mean by that? They honor their own word?

You got it. Yeah.

The key to self-confidence is really simple. I've trained hundreds of thousands of people.

I've spoken to millions of people around the world. I can tell you this.

The self-confident people I know, whether they are athletes, school teachers, mechanics, parents, stay-at-home moms, you name it.

They have a pattern of keeping promises they make to themselves.

The groundwork of beginning to build self-confidence is to begin to keep the promises you make to you.

And that's why it's important to begin to even make small promises.

If you're going to get up at a certain time in the morning, not only do it, but then give yourself credit.

Say, I did what I said I was going to do. If it's in your diet or your fitness, don't just eat the healthy foods.

Go, I'm doing what I said I was going to do. You begin to build this reputation.

If you're constantly being influenced and moved by what other people think about you, it means there's a deficiency in what you think about you.

And so the key is not some esoteric, like belief system.

It's a pattern of keeping the promises that you make to you. That's the groundwork of self-confidence. For sure.

And it is a pattern when I meet people that lack confidence, I think.

Let me serve you. Let's begin to keep the promises you make to you.
