Confidence Hack #54: Why you shouldn’t meet your heroes and the fall of Tiger Woods. When was the last time you scrolled through social media and someone was live-streaming an argument with their spouse? Or bragging about the F their child received on their report card and the constant stress they feel weighing them down to hit target numbers in their business. And if you think that is only ‘ordinary people’ problems. It’s not. Today, we are going over the story of Tiger Woods. Most people remember his fall from grace in 2009. All of the problems underneath finally boiled to the top. What I’m saying is this: if you envy someone else (a role model, a celebrity), spend a day in their shoes and see what is ‘really’ going on behind the curtains. Everyone is going through something. That’s just how life is, and that’s totally ok! Gain confidence in knowing you are exactly the person you are supposed to be, and even when you think someone is perfect, trust me, they are not. Hey!

Confidence Hack #53: The interpersonal expectancy effect is the idea that our expectations can actually create that outcome! Have you ever been to a movie that you didn’t think would be worth seeing, and you walked away raving about it? On the contrary, have you ever been to a movie where a friend had way over-hyped and walked away with a dissatisfied taste in your mouth? The human brain believes what the expectation signal is telling it. But where the rubber hits the road is when expectations don’t align with realities. In every situation, there is a positive and a negative. Just like the expectancy can be a letdown, it can also increase motivation and confidence. In today’s episode, I want to show you an example of how this can play out for your career. 2 different people set certain expectations. Where they each find confidence and fulfillment will surprise you! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #51: History, or rather man, will always repeat itself. Whether it is the mullet coming back in style or bell-bottom jeans, history (or the vehicle driven by the man we call history) repeats itself. Of the ten most dramatic stock market crashes since 1981, every 10-year return after the crash has been net positive. Meaning that crashes will happen, but so will recoveries.  This is just one example of many; everything rises and falls in waves. Disruption, recovery. Disruption, recovery. The cycle continues. So, as you listen to this episode, become confident in knowing that history will continue to cycle, and you are primed to be successful because of that! Ecclesiastes 1:9 - That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything in which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #50: Become awe-inspired by all of the wonders in this world, and know that there will be some things you won’t understand, and that’s PERFECT! String Theory. What is it? It’s a physicist’s way of trying to explain everything in the universe together as one - in a string. However, string theory has a fatal flaw. It can not be proven, and it can not even come close to being proven. Humans will never be able to explain every particle and every movement of the universe. God didn’t create the vastness of the universe for it to be explained; He created it for you and me to be in awe of it all. That is where the confidence boost for today comes in. The smartest people on the planet will never be able to fully explain it, so don’t worry if you don’t understand everything in your own life and why it’s all happening the way it does. Just stop, pause, and take in a breath of awe-inspiring wonder from the Great Creator Himself! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #49: The success-ability partner holds you accountable for your progress! Do you remember your first time at the bowling alley? Gutter ball after gutterball after gutterball (And don’t act like you were a natural). But then you discovered these magical things, bumpers, the 18-year-old behind the desk who didn’t care much about your bowling score, put up for you. An accountability partner is like your ‘bumpers’ for life. The right accountability partner can serve you even better than a coach can; it’s not the teaching and directing they are doing; it’s the motivation, inspiration, and keeping you in alignment with your goals, just as you are doing for them. Success-ability partners hold you accountable to your progress. The confidence boost is gained today by identifying at least three areas of your life you would like to have a success-ability partner and asking (the right person) if they would like to join you on the journey.

Confidence Hack #47: It takes 17 seconds for your body to overrule your mind! How do I know this?  Well, when I was training NBA players for 12+ years, I would always bring a stopwatch with me to the workouts. The reason was that I would hit start on the stopwatch when I felt the player did not want to train that day. (Believe it or not, even NBA stars don’t always like to work on their craft)  You can gain a lot of confidence in that alone! 17 seconds. That was the average time it took for the player to get through the ‘I don’t feel like it’ mindset and into the workout. That’s it, 17 seconds. That’s not that bad! Gain a confidence boost today by taking out your phone’s stopwatch and timing what you despise doing today. I’ll be you after 17 seconds; it won’t be so hard. Hey!

Confidence Hack #45: Just like at swimming pools, walk, don’t run! I know what you are thinking, “Is David really using a Tupac for today’s hack?!” Yes. Yes, I am.
