Episode notes
Self-Doubt Is A Signal
- Self-doubt isn't meant to be erased; it's a signal that tests belief instead of destroying it.
- Recognize doubt as serving you and use it to evaluate commitment rather than as a verdict.
Shrink Doubt By Outworking It
- Don't aim to eliminate self-doubt; aim to make it smaller than your confidence through action.
- Put your confidence in repeated work, effort, and the unseen hours that build real capability.
Confidence Comes From Repetition
- True confidence isn't pretending to be great; it's built from within through repetition and self-talk.
- 'Get-good' confidence grows from consistency, not from feel-good affirmations alone.
