You've heard a million times that success starts with you believing in yourself.

But what you don't hear very often is that confidence actually should come and go.

So here's how to get your timing just right.

From Big Shift Studios in Oakland, California.

This is the Big Shift Podcast with Bill Barron.

Getting Real about Business Growth and Success Mind sets

For those making a difference.

Now, introducing your host Bill Barron who owns more hats than Richard Branson's

had businesses. This episode of the Big Shift podcast was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

One of the things that I've been doing for a long time is,

and I'm a huge fan of this, is studying people's patterns of success. So what does it take in behaviors,

in thinking and mindset that, and how those patterns and mindsets and thinking, how that affects somebody's ability to create success or not.

And so one of the things that I've been really looking into is confidence as a predictor of success.

And there have been some findings that have really, really surprised me. There have been some findings that have really surprised me. There have been some findings

that didn't surprise me and I want to talk to you about both of them. So first, the findings

that did not surprise me but I feel like are important to discuss, right?

So when you're just starting out,

so for example in a service-oriented business,

it's starting out is before you hit 60 to 100,000 dollars in revenue. Before that aspect,

before you get to that milestone, confidence is absolutely a predictor of success.

So the more confident you are in that phase of business development,

the more success that you have.
