Confidence Hack #34: can incompetence really be an asset? Sounds very contradicting, right? How can the ‘inability to do something successfully, ineptitude’ derive confidence? Simple. Embrace incompetence with self-awareness. When we ‘learn’ something, that doesn’t mean it equates to ‘knowledge.’ Knowledge is defined as facts, information, and skills acquired. Learning is defined as the actual acquisition of knowledge. The key to this confidence boost today is not ‘blind confidence.’ It is ‘self-aware incompetence.’ You don’t know what you don’t know, but you know that you don’t know. Say that five times fast.  I bet you’ll be more confident after you do! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #33: your flaws are what make you perfect, just like the greatest people in history! Picture this, the Bible is the greatest selling book of all time. In the Bible are stories of men who have been heralded as some of the greatest in history. Yet apart from Jesus, the men in these stories were tremendously flawed. David, Solomon, Moses, Peter, all had flaws that you and I would think about as being the most crippling character detriments. Even with their incredible flaws, God placed his love and his trust in them. Every one is flawed. Every single person on this Earth. And that is good! So when you see someone who may have it all together, know that they have massive flaws. And you are perfect in your flaws. Gain confidence knowing that you are still capable of achieving greatness, even if you have some flaws. Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #32: this is the only math equation you will ever need to know... 1% more each day for 365 days is 37.8 times more than what you started with! How insane is that?! This means it doesn’t have to all get done in a day, a week, or a month. Just 1% more a day. That’s like doing one extra push-up each day. The amount of strength you’ll build in a year is incredible! So, as you’re listening today, gain confidence knowing that that little bit of extra effort will compound on itself to take you to heights you never thought possible, quicker than you could have ever imagined!

Confidence Hack #31: Adversity isn’t a zip code where you live. It’s just an event. What I mean to say is we don’t live on Adversity Street. Our whole lives aren’t spent only in adversity! What we have gone through is behind us, and what we choose to do with what’s ahead of us is in our control. Today, I go over the story of Bethany Hamilton. Bethany was a budding surfing star at just 13 years old. She was the next up and had worldwide success right in front of her. That was until one fateful day, the day a a 14-foot tiger shark latched onto her arm. It threw her around like a rag doll, and all those with her feared for her life... This story so accurately addresses how adversity is not a permanent state of being. We choose how we handle the tough times of our life. As you listen to this story today, gain confidence knowing that you will get through whatever it may be that you are going through. And on that other side, just like Bethany, you'll be stronger and greater for it! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #29: trusting your intuition can lead to history-defining moments... Intuition. You’ve probably asked yourself, “Why didn’t I follow my intuition on that?” Or, “Man, why didn’t I trust my gut?” Before you say, “Oh David, intuition is a bunch of mumbo jumbo...” consider this. Several studies have shown that intuition is real. The brain uses past experiences and environmental cues to make decisions faster than we can sometimes comprehend. In today’s episode, I cover the powerful example of intuition with the story of Harriet Beecher Stowe, one of American history’s most incredible people. Stowe’s book, ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ would become a catalyst for the Christian argument against the South’s inhumane practice of slavery. She followed her gut, and the feeling led her to write one of the defining books of the American story. So, as you listen today, gain confidence in knowing that that gut feeling, your intuition, is telling you to pay attention, and more times than not, it’s got something great to say! Hey!

Confidence Hack #28: Gaining confidence through the understanding that it may take LONGER than 10 years to be a success... That’s the old saying, right? “It takes 10 years to be an overnight success.” WRONG! It takes MORE! You can’t be an expert in your field until you’re an expert in your field. If you commit 10 dedicated years to becoming the best at whatever it may be, you can pick anything, I have zero doubt you will become an expert. Once you become an expert, people WILL LISTEN to you. I would never be able to write about mindset and confidence if I had never worked while no one knew who I was. If I hadn’t couch-surfed and coached high school basketball camps. If I hadn’t sent 1000s of letters to NBA teams working to get a shot. Things take TIME! There’s no microwave on the path to true, long-lasting success. So, as you listen to this episode today, gain confidence knowing that whatever journey you are on, you CAN become the expert in that field, and you WILL. But you will also gain confidence knowing that it is not a race. It takes time and patience, so there is no pressure to succeed right now. You got this. GO GET IT! Hey!

Confidence Hack #27: The reason the mayor painted Tirana, Alania, with color and why it has such a PROFOUND effect on our confidence. Edi Rama was not a normal mayor. Standing 6’ 8”, a painter by trade and former basketball player, Edi didn’t come into the job to be a conventional mayor. When he was elected, he knew he had to make bold changes. So that’s what he did. He gathered a group of painting buddies and began painting the city bright and vibrant colors! And this changed the town completely! The simple addition of color made the city more enjoyable and happier, sparking new life into a town that had felt cold for so long. Today’s episode demonstrates how we can gain confidence through color. As you listen, grab that colorful shirt, pick out those funny-colored socks, and change your life and the people around you!

Confidence Hack #26: Confidence through randomness and understanding that in addition to daily confident steps, the home run swings are worthwhile! I’ll be the first person to say that you must take small daily steps to accomplish your goals. I wrote a book on it! Hitting the single every day is KEY to playing the game. But taking that occasional MONSTER SWING for it all can lead to truly incredible things...you never know when you’ll connect! In today’s episode, I’ll explain how creating a life around randomness produces short-lived success. Take buying a lottery ticket, for example. I can buy a lottery ticket every day, hoping that I will eventually hit and everything will be great! But this isn’t building a lifestyle around the possibility of randomness; this is simply wishful thinking. So today, the understanding that randomness CAN happen at any given time gives us the confidence to build our lifestyle, knowing that we’ve got that great foundation that will be ready for that home run. We will always have runners on base! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!

Confidence Hack #25: Why me versus why not me...are the ONLY questions that matter for redefining our confident mentalities. There are two types of people. People who ask, “Why me?” And people who ask, “Why NOT me?” And which one you are makes all the difference. People who ask the former are constantly self-sabotaging themselves into believing nothing will ever happen to them. They think they are cursed to be unsuccessful forever. But on the flip side, 80% of millionaires are first-generation millionaires. These people said, if it can happen to them, why can’t it happen to me? And they kept that mindset in the front of their brain as they went on to conquer whatever they wanted. As you listen to this episode today, smile and tell yourself, “Why NOT me?” Tell your mom, tell your sister, tell your uncle, and tell the neighbor because “Why NOT you” is right! You are just as capable and powerful as anyone who has done anything. Now, go out there and do it! Hey! If you love this show, share it with family and friends!
