Short motivational excerpt from a T. Harv Eker YouTube video advising how to overcome self-doubt. Eker lists two main ways to build confidence: (1) gain experience by starting small, and (2) ask for help and learn from others. Central claim and repeated mantra: "Knowledge conquers fear," presented as the primary antidote to doubt.
How do I get confidence knowing that's number two. Number one is experience. Starting small. Number two is asking for help, you know, getting a little bit of support, especially your first couple of times at something. Get some, get some, some assistance, some teaching, some support, etc. And that's where, for example, learning comes in. That's why I'm such a huge believer in learning, in knowledge. And that's why I. And we do what we do. I believe in knowledge my life. Because again, at the beginning, how are you supposed to know anything? Here's the big thing. I want you to write this down. If you're in a position, do it. Listen closely. Knowledge conquers fear. Let me say that again. Knowledge conquers fear. And what is doubt? What is unconfidence? It's fear. It's only a form of fear. Yes or yes or yes. The more knowledge you have, the more experience you have, the less fear you'll have. Because knowledge conquers fear. So yes, absolutely. Please, if you enjoy our stuff, learn from me. Learn from us. If you enjoy other people's stuff and it resonates with you, learn from them. Okay? But learn, learn, learn. Because knowledge conquers what? Fear. Thank you.
