Summary

Do you believe in your goals and dreams? Are you confident in your capability and capacity to achieve success? Now, the answer to these questions may vary, but one thing is certain: Confidence and action go hand in hand, y'all! "How so?" you might ask. Well, we believe that: Confidence inspires us to take action, and taking purposeful action helps make us even more confident. You move forward and take action because you feel certain you can accomplish the task at hand, having this level of security allows you tune out the doubts and fears that holds you back from actually doing something. Now, as entrepreneurs, we lead our people based on the strengths we possess. "But why are we so compelled to follow someone confident?" The thing is, people are attracted to confident people because confident people are action-takers. You're probably thinking: "Well, that makes sense but it's hard enough trying to be confident without being an online entrepreneur..." We get it, harnessing self-confidence can be a struggle. We understand, we sometimes feel this way too! Jocelyn actually has a sticky-note on her computer that says, "I am a good leader" to remind herself every day. But hey! Just because she doesn't feel like a good leader sometimes, doesn't mean she isn't one. Those who are struggling with self-confidence have as much potential as those who exude self-confidence. "But still, why do self-confident people get more out of life?" Because they just go out and do things. Think about it this way: Confidence is like a door. You open it, you close it -- it's up to you. Each one of us has the ability to control this door. A door to new experiences and opportunities. A door that will help you mindfully say, "Yes" or "No." A door that attracts action, growth, and change. Confidence is the door you have to open so you can meet your amazing potential. WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO OPEN THAT DOOR? So, if you're struggling with self-confidence, we want you to know that you can do something about it. Because we know you can do whatever it takes to flip your life. We know you can deliver results. Now, it's time to become more confident! In this episode, we're sharing the top 5 confidence killers and how to defeat them. Confidence Killer #1: Lack of Knowledge Your Weapon: Get training You have access to a device (or devices) that allows you to consume all sorts of information, in all sorts of ways, you have to take advantage of this. Use it to learn and understand more about your chosen topic/field! Don't just sit around and sulk that you don't know how to do something. Seriously, go find out how it's done and learn how to do it yourself. There is NO EXCUSE. Confidence Killer #2: Competition Your Weapon: Perspective Okay, so there are a lot of other people out there offering the same solution. Why would they choose you? Well, why wouldn't they? There are more or less 4 billion people on the internet, there's bound to be someone who will find YOU and choose YOU over everybody else because they relate to YOU and believe in YOU. Don't fear the competition. Learn from their success, what worked for them and how it worked. Remember: Competition is good! It shows you that someone has already succeeded and that you can too. Confidence Killer #3: Avoiding Change and Seeking Comfort Your Weapon: Surround Yourself with Change-makers Avoiding change and seeking comfort is your brain's way of protecting you from getting hurt. It's going to stop you from jumping off the diving board because you might get hurt. But you know what else it stopped you from experiencing? It stopped you from the thrill of diving in the refreshing water. It stopped you from making new memories with friends. It stopped you from conquering your fear of the unknown. It stopped you from the opportunity of experiencing so...

I cannot wait to talk about confidence today with you.

0:40.1

But I am not confident that this podcast is going to go off without a hitch

0:43.4

because there is a ton of noise right outside of our window right now.

0:47.1

Now, you would think living on a farm with 30 acres,

0:50.4

there wouldn't be a ton of noise since we don't really have a lot of neighbors.

0:52.9

But next door, like across the street, about two acres away, our neighbors are literally

clearing like 100 acres of forest. And there are these giant cranes and machines and stuff

chopping down trees and they're putting them on trucks. So at any moment now, a log could come

flying into our window. We don't know. It might happen. However, we are confident. You will like this episode of the Flip by the Stop podcast. I see what you did there. That was a good transition. So today we're going to be talking to you about confidence. And it's very interesting how we kind of came up with this topic. We were going to talk about something totally different. But this week, we started a poll in our Flip Your Your Life Live Nashville Facebook group. We've got a private group set up just for the hundred or so entrepreneurs that are coming to Flip Your Life Live in Nashville in September. And we do have a few spots left. That was a shameless plug. I like it. Way to throw that in there. FlipLofstyle.com slash Nashville, if you'd like to get a ticket. We've only got a few left. But we're doing a poll every week to learn everything we can about each individual person that's going because we are going to basically prepare answers to specific questions for every single person in attendance. And we want to make sure we know what people need to get to the next level so that we
