Dean Graziosi argues courage must come before confidence. He uses a plane-jump metaphor: people who leap without knowing how to fly grow wings on the way down, while those who stay in the plane over-analyzing and waiting for perfect preparation miss the chance to act. Real confidence only develops once you are in the game.
You could be in the stands watching, but you have to be courageous enough to get out on the field. Yes. Even when you play bad at first, and then eventually you learn the pieces. Listen, we both know people that move forward that weren't qualified and they figured it out and they jumped out of the plane. They grew wings on the way down. That's it. And someone else is sitting in the plane overreading, checking the wings, reading the instructions. Finally, finally the plane lands and you missed your opportunity to jump.
Yeah, they're 10 degrees, they're overqualified, and they're still broke.
Yeah. The precursor to confidence is courage. Yeah. Because you don't get confident until you're in the game.
