Have you ever waited for confidence to show up before committing to do the work? 

Me too…

…and follow me on this…

It’s time to shift from being a confidence waiter to a confidence creator.

You see, while we’re looking at confidence to tell us “I’m going to succeed,” what we’re really asking for is a safe path with little emotional risk (and therefore little reward). 

Even when you move forward after that feeling of confidence does show up, as soon as bigger emotional challenges arise, there goes the feeling of confidence and there goes your probability of completing the endeavor.

If we look at it like a baker … 

We sometimes think of confidence as an ingredient needed to bake the cake, when it’s actually the feeling you get once you’ve finished baking the cake and eaten it. 

(mmm… did someone say cake …) 

In that sense, if you’re waiting for confidence in order to start baking, you could be waiting forever… or you could continue to stop the baking process half-way through because you think you don’t have every ingredient you need.

What if…

…instead of seeking emotional confidence in the early stages of our creations, we replaced it with a commitment to finishing. 

Purely and simply, confident or not, excellent or not… committing to completing the task and moving on to the next. 

“Good or bad, I’m going to complete this and then I’ll know what’s necessary to complete the next, and the next, and the next.”

And with each completion… you’ve created more confidence. 

Now, that looks like a great recipe for how to go from waiter to confidence creator. 

…and of course, every step is easier, and more fun, when you have a great coach by your side that knows the ingredients.
