337. Cracking The Confidence Code: How To Build Confidence, Silence Self-Doubt And Take Bold Action Toward Your Big Ideas

What does confidence actually mean to you? If you were to define it, how would you know that you were experiencing it in your life? I'm so excited to launch this five-part series all about building confidence, specifically around going after your big ideas. I'm putting out five separate episodes, detailing my favorite ways that have worked for me to become a more confident person and transform my mindset about what success means. To kick things off, I dive into what confidence means to me and explain why you shouldn't feel 100% confident all the time. I share how my definition of confidence has changed as I've grown as an entrepreneur and what I've learned about staying comfortable for too long.    In this episode we talk about: My vision for this series  The two things that I've done consistently over the last 10 years on my personal development journey  The intersection of confidence and freedom  Signs that you're dreaming big enough and headed in the right direction  What happens when you wait to feel confident instead of going after your goals    If you loved today's episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!   Click HERE for the Powerhouse Women 30-day guide to cracking the confidence code!    Click HERE to get your tickets for the Powerhouse Women 2022 event!    Click HERE to check out the Powerhouse Women Behind The Success Stories!    Click HERE to text the word MENTOR to (602) 536-7829 for weekly business + mindset tips delivered straight to your phone!   Not part of the Girl Gang Community yet?
