If you can dedicate yourself to building one thing that will amplify any other thing that you do, it is build your self-trust. And how you do that is you make and keep more promises to yourself on a regular basis. So things like starting a podcast that you're showing up for consistently. Yes, even on days that you don't want to, or even on days that you feel like you have nothing to say. There's something that gets built internally when you make and keep more promises to yourself.
I think it's the only way to build confidence. People are waiting to feel good or ready or confident, like, oh, when I finally take this course, or once I do that thing— showing up for actions that you don't want to do is the only way to build confidence. That's literally it.
