Summary

I want to talk about the lie of SELF-confidence. If you are waiting for confidence in yourself before you take the next step in your business or make a big life decision, you could be waiting a long time. The Bible does not talk about self-confidence. Instead, our confidence should be in the Lord and what He can do through us. We need to shift our focus to courage. The Bible says we should have courage as we will follow God's direction! Courage is not being sure, but I am willing to try. Stop waiting for confidence, and start acting courageously.

0:41.0	But at the end of the day, bottom bottom line is I want to talk to you this
0:44.4	week about the confidence lie. What I have found is that in dealing with so many
0:51.1	entrepreneurs is that there are a lot of

0:59.6	confidence I'll go back to school as soon as I get the confidence I will resign from my job because I think my
