A short YouTube monologue arguing that 'confidence' etymologically means to 'confide' and that people lack self-trust because they have repeatedly broken promises to themselves ("heard every lie you've ever told"). The speaker connects this lack of self-trust to reduced confidence and prescribes becoming a trustworthy person of character as essential for building long-term, high-value businesses.

The word confidence means to confide. Well, here's the problem. The reason you don't travel with trust in yourself is because you are the only person in the world who's heard every lie you've ever told.
Yes, you broke your word to this person and didn't keep your promise to that person and then let that person down and this person down. But guess what? You've broken your word to yourself so many times in the past you can't believe a word you say.
So one of the skillionaire skills that's absolutely essential to building a long term successful business into the millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of billions. Whatever your desired objective is, you have to be a person who is trustworthy. You have character. Okay.
