2-14-22: The obvious secret to confidence

from SAX IN THE MORNING · host Steve Sax

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.This week I wanted to cover three lessons I have learned over the course of my life succeeding in several different careers. The first is that preparation is where confidence is built. It didn’t matter if I was facing a Hall of Fame pitcher, preparing a presentation for a financial client or practicing a speech I had to do in front of thousands of people, preparation has been the most important component to my success. It may seem obvious and yet so many people try to “wing it” in life and their career. It's as if they are almost afraid of the practice that could make them great. Maybe it seems too time consuming, maybe it seems tedious or maybe a fear of failure makes you want to not practice. But as the famous Ben Franklin quote goes, “Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.”Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastYouTube: subscribe and watch shorts here Remember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
