David Price here, the short guy who helps you walk tall. This is confidence tip number 81. Mastery beats motivation. Confidence follows competence, not the other way around. In other words, when you're really good at something, confidence doesn't usually come first. Get slightly better at something you're working on, just a little bit at a time, and it'll build your mastery, it'll build your competence, and that'll build your confidence.
