Building the Right Network for Business Success
Having the right network is often overlooked in building a business. With the right network, you can pick the best wireless plan suited for your small business and reap the benefits. Phone to laptop tethering and generous hotspot data are just a few features that can enable remote work and keep your business connected. It's important to choose a plan that fits your needs and gives you the flexibility to work wherever business takes you.
Radical Confidence: Building Competence to Achieve Success
Confidence is not a prerequisite for success; it is a byproduct of action and experience. Building competence in new areas is like exercising a muscle – it takes time and practice. Starting a business with no prior knowledge, the speaker faced insecurities and inadequacy. However, by doing the work, learning from mistakes, getting back up after failures, and gaining competence, confidence naturally followed. It's about understanding that confidence comes from taking steps forward, even when feeling scared or uncertain.
The Power of Language: Removing Apologies and Redefining Words
Language plays a significant role in shaping our perception of ourselves and others. Constantly apologizing and using words like 'just' undermine our self-worth and invalidate our choices. Instead, it is important to be mindful of the words we use and the impact they have on our self-esteem. Apologizing is necessary when genuinely needed, but often, the word sorry is used unnecessarily. Similarly, redefining words like 'just' can empower us to recognize the value in our actions and not diminish our achievements.

Validation is for Parking
The podcast episode discusses the concept of seeking external validation and the dangers it poses. The speaker shares their personal journey of seeking validation and the realization that validation should come from within. They encourage listeners to focus on their own intentions and goals, to be deliberate in their actions, and to find their own worth and confidence rather than seeking validation from others.
