Now on this episode, I want to talk about believing in yourself and trusting yourself. And this is so powerful for right now at this moment in time. The people that I've talked to that have done the free 15 minute calls with me, where they schedule a free call where we talk about their business, what they're going through, how they can break through to the next level. We're constantly getting stories and testimonies from people off of these free 15 minute calls that people are saying that their business has been changed just from that 15 minutes together. And so listen, if you haven't grabbed a free 15 minute call with me, you can do that on my website. You go to Jeremiah Krakowski.com and it's you and I together on the phone talking about your business and how to break through to the next level, what you need to do to get there. When I talk with people, the most common thing I land on is struggling to take action or know what the right actions are, not sure where to find the resources or what to do, where to get good ideas from and then how to put that into a plan to get sales. Every person that, that I've talked to and helped at some level or another needs to grow in their confidence, their self belief, their self image and believing that they can do it. The whole answer to the question, who do you think you are? Who makes you qualified enough? Who makes you somebody that's qualified enough to do this in business. The that either imposter syndrome or it could just come from again, lack of experience, lack of knowledge. Almost everybody that I, that I talk to deals with that. And if they don't, most of the people that might listen to me that don't deal with that. They, they usually go and work with other coaches, usually, or they're a consulting client of mine that we're doing high, high level stuff with. But for the people that I coach and that go through my podcast and the courses, almost, almost everybody that does that deals with this self image, trusting yourself, not sure which decisions to make, what path to take in business, what's going to get the sales, what's going to get to $100,000, what's going to get to 300,000, 500,000, a million dollars in your business? And how are you going to get from where you are right now to that level to where you're making that kind of money in your business? And without a positive, healthy self image, believing in yourself, trying to seek validation from other people, having the answer to the question, who do you think you are? Knowing that what you're doing is what you were called to do, that confidence that I'm talking about right here, without that truly you, without that, you, you can't succeed. And so the people that get the most success that I see in business have that and have developed it either over time or they just naturally have that. And so if you don't, and you're somebody that is struggling with that, believing in yourself, this is a, the key place to start on your journey towards your goals. Because if you have a goal, you're going to have to believe in it and yourself to accomplish it more than anyone else around you, because otherwise you're relying on other people believing in you for your ability to accomplish it. And, and that's where I was a couple years ago was I needed other people outside of me to validate me in what I knew how to do. And that didn't work. It doesn't work. I had to shift my mindset to believe in myself, to believe that I could accomplish what I'm doing now from that place. And so for you, if you're building a business online to get more sales online to attract the kind of customers that you know are going to benefit from what you offer, or the type of people that you can help, or maybe you're just coming up with the idea of what you're going to sell, the type of people that are going to buy whatever that idea is, you're going to have to believe in yourself and you're going to have to believe in it more than anybody else, even when other people are saying negative things about you or to you or about what you're doing and not believing in you at all. And so we can't be in a place, we can't be people as entrepreneurs that are relying on the belief of other people in us to validate us. We have to self validate that, okay, I know what I'm doing, I know where I'm going, I know where I'm headed. And nothing outside of me, even if it tries to tell me otherwise, will have the power or the effect to change that self belief. And so that's where you have to get in. The ROI on that is limitless. Because if you believe that something's possible for you and you go out and do the things that other people say is impossible, you can accomplish anything. It might be a different path than how you saw it. You know, a lot of us have an idea in mind of, well, I'll just get this person to do this, and I'll get this to happen, and this will happen. And it doesn't quite pan out that way. That doesn't mean that it was a failure. It just means you're gonna have to take a different route to that destination than what you thought you did. And so learning to not be disappointed when things don't go our way while still believing in ourselves, that even when we fall flat on our face and make a mistake, we still believe in ourselves. And this is, this is something that I'm, I'm still working on is when I make a mistake not beating myself up, not getting, getting upset with myself, but I know that that's a key to getting to the next level. Yesterday had something happen and I beat myself up for maybe 15 to 30 minutes, but in the past, that would have been three days or five days, I would have been so frustrated and so shortening that length of time and getting over it quickly and then getting the job done, doing the work, getting back at it, knowing, you know what? I made a mistake, that doesn't invalidate me. I can still go after my goals like, you know that, right? If I make a mistake as Jeremiah Krakowski, that doesn't invalidate who I am, but my brain will tell me otherwise because of patterns and, and experiences and, and things that I've experienced in my life. But the truth is, it doesn't invalidate me at all. And that's the same for you. And so when you believe that you can trust the process. I was talking to a guy yesterday. His name is Andrew. I've known him for a while. And he is, if you, if you see him, the guy is like jacked and ripped bodybuilder dude. And I used the metaphor of fitness for him. I said, you know, when people come to you for training and they don't have a ripped body and they see yours and they want to get to where you're at, they have to trust the process to get there. And so just because they're not there yet doesn't mean they don't have that potential. And so that's the thing, is that you have the potential to accomplish anything that you set out to do. Potential unrealized is. We all have potential unrealized, every single one of us. And when you understand this, the limitless potential that all of us have, that opens up a lot of possibilities for you. Limitless possibilities. And so then you get to choose what you're going to do each day, what path you're going to take, what priorities you're going to do. And that starts by believing in yourself. When you go out there to sell yourself to people, people can tell when we have a, a lack of self confidence, a lack of belief in ourselves, they can read it on us. And that might be where you struggle to sell is that lack of self belief and self confidence. And so growing in that, again, confidence grows by what we do. It does grow because when I do something, my confidence goes up higher. But, and this is the, a very big asterisk on that, you still need to have a high level of confidence and belief in yourself before you go do the thing that you've never done before. Even if you've never done it. You have to believe in your potential even if it doesn't look like things are going to work out. And so that's the propellant, the, that's going to drive you to accomplishing what you've never done before is that belief in yourself. You ever noticed that when you first went to go ride a bike, you knew that you could ride a bike because you'd seen other people do it. And everybody rides a bike, right? Everybody drives a car. But there was that little level of unbelief at the beginning, and then you got frustrated when you'd fall down, when you would make a mistake. But over time, you got it like everybody else has. And so that confidence comes in by repetition, by continuing, by constantly failing over and over again. The person who fails the most also does accomplish the most because that's how you learn how to go to the next level. You don't stay stuck at one single level. I don't ever want to stay stuck at that one to $10 million business owner level. I want to go To a hundred and a billion. Keep going beyond that, because I know that that's possible. I know that that's a possibility. And so for you, what's possible for you, really? Anything's possible for you. So then we make it realistic in the macro. Okay. Or the micro. The macro is, I know, limitless possibilities. You have that while simultaneously then getting realistic. Okay, where am I at today? And being okay with saying you're not where you want to be and that you're growing and being humble and honest with yourself and other people about that doesn't make you look bad. The more humble you are about your strengths, about your weaknesses, being honest about them instead of hiding them, the better it is for everybody around you and you especially. There's no reason to be embarrassed by those things. Yet we allow embarrassment to come in this lack of belief in ourselves instead of just showing up authentically and being ourselves and connecting on a human to human level from a place of honesty and trust. When we do that, we can go to the next level because we believe in ourselves. Other people believe in us. They can tell that we're being honest. There's an energy about honesty and there's an energy about lying. There really is, let's just call it what it is people can feel when you're not being honest with them. And when you don't believe in yourself, you're being dishonest to yourself. You're not trusting yourself. Why would you not trust yourself? So that energy, even if you're not a bad person, even if you're not trustworthy, even if you're not doing something bad, not trusting yourself brings that energy forward as if you're not trustworthy. And that's what I had learned in some of my experiences over the last three, four years of selling myself, talking with people as I'm like, like I know I'm being honest. Everything that I'm saying and putting out there is comes from integrity and honesty. But why am I getting people saying that I'm not being honest? Oh, and by the way, that stopped. I haven't gotten people that say that anymore. I used to get it all the time. People would say that they didn't think I was being honest with them. And I was like, what? Why I am being honest? Then I learned, oh, it's because I'm not believing in myself. The lack of self belief and had me coming across to people as untrustworthy, even though I actually, I believe that I could accomplish it. But I was seeking their validation to tell me that I was good enough and they've invalidated me every single time. And then that came across that way. This is the cycle that we get on my friends. This is the cycle that we get stuck in our head. And that's why not believing in ourselves is the most detrimental thing in our businesses. And believing our in ourselves is one of the most positive ROI things that we can experience. Because otherwise we do. We come across as people that are unsafe, people that other people can't trust when we don't believe in ourselves and we're seeking validation from other people. And so when you shift that, how do you get. Because you want to appear trustworthy, you, you do, you don't want to appear untrustworthy. Nobody wants to appear untrustworthy at all. Like, who would want to appear like, look like they're not trustworthy? Nobody. Which is why the best way to do that if you are somebody that's being honest, is to believe in yourself. And I would hope that I attract people that are also honest and have integrity like myself. That's what I, that's the energy that I put out there. And that's what I notice that I attract in my space. The people that actually plug in with my content are that way. Which is I'm grateful for, thankful for. I don't get people buying my courses and taking advantage of me and asking for their money back because that's not the energy that I put out there. See what I'm saying? So when you show up at your highest energy at every single moment in time and you believe in yourself and you're selling yourself and you're creating a product or service, maybe you've never done that thing before, nothing can stop you from being successful. You can stop you, you can make mistakes. You can not produce the, the, the result. But if you stick with it, test things out. My course, irresistible offers that sell. I walk you through creating offers on the Internet that sell to people that bring you forward on the Internet with offers that are like opt in offers and landing pages and challenges and how you sell yourself, whether it be courses on author, network marketing, e commerce, I walk you through all of that. In that course. It's only 57 bucks on my website doing that and coming across in that way, that's trustworthy. When you can increase people's level of trust in you and they're trusting in you, you can sell them. Because if they trust that what you say is true, that your product is legit, that you're legit, that your company is, that you're not going to disappear tomorrow that you're there as an honest, integrous person, people will buy from you if it's what they want. That's what people want to buy from. And so if you can bring yourself forward as somebody that's trustworthy, people will trust you and buy from you. To be honest, rapport isn't even the most valuable thing in sales. I saw this online about a year ago and I thought I was like, you know what, that's so true. Trust is what's important. As long as you trust that I will deliver on what I promise, which is what I promise when you buy my courses, that you'll learn how to make sales online, that you'll learn how to build offers that get people to buy from you. If you take my ads course, you'll learn how to run ads on social media for less than five bucks a day that generate a two to five times roi. And so as long as people trust that you're that person that can do that, that, that can do what you say you can do, they will buy from you. People will. And the foundation of people trusting you is believing in yourself first. So that's how this ties all together here. That self belief, it turns the volume up, it turns the, the flame up on your ability to sell successfully is, is when you come across as honest, you trust yourself. And then if you actually are honest, like that's the thing, the most honest people come across as less believing in themselves because of their honesty. That's actually a big thing. The more honest you are, you'll probably come across in the beginning as less trustworthy, but in the end you'll have that confidence and say, you know what? Yeah, I am somebody that can do what I say I can do and I can help people with this. My product delivers on that and people will be blessed to buy any product from me. I believe that anybody who buys my products or services and coaches with me is blessed to do so. And that's what you need to believe in, in yourself as well. When you sell anything online, believing in yourself that people will be blessed to do business with you. That foundation will take you far in reaching your goals in accomplishing what seems impossible. You can break into markets that have been hard. I always said this about cryptocurrency. Whoever is trustworthy and honest in the cryptocurrency world makes the most amount of money. And now companies like Coinbase have gone public because they were the most trusted app that was out there for crypto and it paid them billions. Of dollars in dividends. And so you, as a trusted resource for what you do, for what you offer, will help people. You will get more sales by showing up at your best energy by showing up in the best state of mind, believing in yourself, trusting in yourself and making those promises that you can keep under promise, over, deliver over deliver on the promises that you make. Go above and beyond just the simple promise that you know that you can keep. And you'll have customers for life. You'll have people begging you to do business with you, which is what I've experienced. That's what you'll experience as well if you follow that process again. Nothing's guaranteed out there. If you hear me say anything, it's not like guaranteed you're going to make money. You have to do the work and you have to fall flat on your face a million times and fail. And then you'll figure it out because that's literally what everybody does. There's, there's not anybody in business that hasn't done that. I thought I was the one special snowflake that didn't have to do that three, four years ago and then realized, oh, running my own business on my own is a lot harder than I thought it would be four years ago. And I'm so thankful for the education that I've been getting every single day, the mentors that I've had around me, the people that I've been able to bounce questions off of to grow as a business owner. And if you're somebody that needs that, if you're somebody that needs help, needs a mentor to help you build your business and grow to the next level, I'd love to talk with you. You can schedule a free 15 minute call with me on my website. Let's talk about your business and how to take it to that next level where you make more money than you ever thought was possible. We'll talk soon. Everybody have a good.
