Personal and Professional development is the goal that we strive to hit and look forward to hearing from you on your journey towards becoming the person you've always believed you had the potential to be.

Today's Topic Confidence with guest Norman Scales :
Definition of Confidence - The Feeling or Belief that one can rely on someone or something; firm trust. 

• The state of feeling certain about the truth of something.
• A feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or qualities. 

Confidence means feeling sure of yourself and your abilities - not in an arrogant way, but realistic, secure way. Confidence isn’t about feeling superior to others but more of an inner quiet knowledge that YOU ARE CAPABLE. 

4 TYPES OF CONFIDENCE: 

1. “Unwarranted” Confidence
2. “Pasted on” Confidence 
3. “I’ve already done it” Confidence
4. “Effort will lead to results” Confidence

• Avoid the arrogance of “unwarranted” Confidence
• Use the “pasted on” confidence sparingly, and only to spur you into taking that initial, scary step forward. 
• Don’t get comfortable in the confidence of “I’ve already done it” or you will cease to improve
• Deliberately, INTENTIONALLY, cultivate the most useful type of Confidence - A CERTAINTY THAT “EFFORT AND TIME WILL LEAD TO RESULTS”

Please give this podcast a rating and review and let us know what you think and help others in their journey to grow consistently.
