This is an AMA. My name is Tom Billio. I'm answering all your questions and we're going to dive right in to the first one, which is from

Div Yarshri

Tombadeh. This is from the Connectin box. Hi Tom. I'm a student and do pretty good in class

But I lack self-confidence whenever I have to solve a question however it how ever easy it may be

The first thing that pops into my mind is that I won't be able to solve it and with every step I do

I feel like I'm doing something wrong although usually it's almost always right

What are some ways that I can stop giving this negative feedback to myself?

Okay, so first of all you've got to train yourself to use the

Negative thoughts that you have as a habit loop trigger of something positive. That's the first step to all of this

So I don't think anybody

Is going to be able to get rid of the negative voice and even if you could I actually don't think you would want to

I think the reality is you want to use that as your Jiu Jitsu flip to get over to the

Positive way of thinking to get into that positive habit loop to remind yourself that even if you're not good at it yet

You can get good at it that you're going to learn by whatever you're doing

The second thing is and this is if you guys don't know Ed my let go check him out

We just filmed our impact theory episode with him so it'll come out in a few weeks

But whoa

I was really blown away by this guy and the way that he thinks about self-confidence

A, it's incredibly important to build said self-confidence and be the way that you go about it

As he describes it, I think it's super super powerful and that is you've really got to earn credibility with yourself

This is something you guys have heard me talk a lot about before. I'm wildly obsessed with this notion and

Ed my let really I think give some pretty incredible examples of ways you're going to do that
