Unf*ckwithable confidence results from becoming unconsciously competent. People believe that they need to be good at something first, and then they develop confidence. But it’s actually the inverse. You develop confidence by building the plane as you fly it.
In other words, taking consistent action and seeing improvement in your results builds confidence. It requires moving through fear and into action. What does it take to be able to move through fear into action?
Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. People often think the way to deal with fear is by becoming fearless. NO SUCH THING!
There’s nothing wrong with fear. Let’s make it okay to feel fear. It’s just an indicator, a guide to help you understand what to do. It’s important to learn how to interpret fear and not perceive it as an indicator to take your foot off the gas.
As entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses, they are moving out of their comfort zones on a regular basis. They’re becoming more visible and moving into uncertain territory. It means at each new level. They might experience fear of the unknown, and their confidence may waver.
It happens because our minds are like a database, an archive of all the meanings we gave all past experiences. So the next time you experience something that feels unfamiliar to any past experience, your mind searches the database and looks for how it’s done it before and survived. It wants to ascribe the same meaning you gave the past experience to the current experience. Except there’s no past experience in the database because you’re doing something you’ve never done before - it’s in the unknown. So your subconscious mind feels fear because it doesn’t feel safe. If it doesn’t know it’s done something before and survived, it will try to put the brakes on to keep you alive. Because the subconscious mind’s primary job is to keep you safe and alive.
Here are 3 things that help you move through fear to cultivate Unf*ckwithable Confidence:
Faith. Faith is the ability to believe in something, even though we can’t see it yet. Faith is a muscle you build. I’m not talking about blind faith. When you shift your limiting paradigm and become aware of Universal Truths, faith becomes a natural extension of the growth of your awareness.
Courage. You must develop courage. Some people seem to be born with courage. Most of us, however, need to cultivate it. And it can be as easy as making a decision to go for it. Courage allows you to move through fear into action.
Action. Once you grow courage and faith, it’s far easier to move into action and take risks. And by rinsing and repeating with consistency, you build Unconscious Competence. You learn to trust yourself.
Faith + Courage + Consistent Action = Unf*ckwithable Confidence.
Imagine what your business would look like 3 months from now if you had Unshakable Faith and Confidence, you absolutely knew that everything you really desired was unfolding?!
