Conviction Before Confidence: Why You're Building It Backwards #670

Message me your 'Takeaways'.How to build confidence that actually lasts: stop waiting for it and start building conviction instead.For years I thought confidence was the starting line. That some people just had it and I didn't. I was confident running 800m races, but everywhere else I carried myself like someone waiting for permission.The breakthrough: I wasn't lacking confidence. I was lacking conviction.In this video I break down why confidence is a feedback loop you can't shortcut, how conviction builds the foundation confidence needs, and the exact documentation method I used to go from mumbling on camera to keynote speaking.This applies to every area of life performance: your body, mind, purpose, and relationships. Confidence follows conviction. Always.Want to see where conviction might be slipping in your life?
