Self-doubt: the no BS way to boost your confidence in less than 3 minutes to make BIG things happen.

TUNE IN TO LEARN:  Self-doubts are absolutely natural part of our mindset.  In fact, if you have zero self-doubts – you are a psycho.  “Am I good enough to pull this off?”  (Or I should just let someone smarter do it)  “Is my idea good enough?”  (Or it is a truly stupid idea that nobody needs)  Have you ever had these?  Normal!  Leaders and entrepreneurs you admire, creatives – they all have self-doubts, they just learn how to take action EVEN when they feel them.  It has to do with taking stock and gathering data.  It doesn’t have to do with pumping up your ego with affirmations.  “Outwork your self-doubt” by Alex Hormozi, adopting a scientist’s mindset from Dr Gena Gorlin and how I used these to moderate my first panel at Africacom Tech Fest last week.  You don’t have to be a confident person to make BIG things happen.  You just have to have confidence in your abilities to figure it out.  Here’s what you do to never allow doubts to stop you.  👉TAKE YOUR HEALTH 360 ASSESSMENT  Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First Change Leadership & Culture Transformation ConsultantEXECUTIVE & OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE COACH
