You Don't Want More Confidence. What You Want Is This! (The Myth To Success & What You Really Need)

from Confidence is Overrated · host Jennifer Certad

In this episode of "Confidence is Overrated," we challenge the common belief that confidence is a prerequisite for success. We argue why taking action, even when feeling unprepared or scared, is the true path to achieving our goals.The truth is that you don't want confidence for the sake of having more confidence. What you want is what you believe confidence will give you!That's why we emphasize that confidence is a byproduct of action, not a starting point, and encourage listeners to begin with small, manageable steps to build the identity and, therefore, the life they desire.Tune in to discover why confidence might just be a myth and how you can start creating the life you desire today.KEY TAKEAWAYSConfidence is not a prerequisite for success.Action is the true path to achieving goals.Start with small, manageable steps.Confidence is a byproduct of action.Feeling unprepared is normal when trying new things.Commitment to daily actions leads to change.Identity is shaped by actions, not feelings.Motivation and readiness are overrated.Consistent small actions create a new reality.Start with micro actions to build a new identity, and through that, build confidence.⁠Download the Ultimate Guide to overcoming self-doubt and overthinking and taking more action HERE. ⁠Join my FREE weekly Newsletter for weekly inspiration, mindset shifts, science-backed tools to improve your life, and more at ⁠https://newsletter.mindcreatd.com/⁠MORE FROM ME Follow along on Instagram: ⁠@jennycertad⁠Or email me at ⁠[email protected]⁠CHAPTERS00:00 The Illusion of Confidence02:21 Taking Action Over Confidence05:02 Micro Actions for Big Changes07:19 Identity Transformation Through Action09:44 The Commitment to ConsistencySUPPORT THE SHOWIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review wherever you listen to your podcast.
