In this brief talk, the speaker emphasizes that genuine confidence for entrepreneurs emerges from a structured process rather than a superficial mindset. Drawing on Dan Sullivan’s “4 Cs” framework—Commit, underqualified (courage), Capabilities, Confidence—the speaker explains how committing to a new truth initiates a gap in skills that demands courage, which then drives the acquisition of capabilities, ultimately resulting in authentic confidence. The SeedChange program is highlighted as a catalyst that helps members traverse this journey, enabling them to develop tools, products, or services for their customers and the world.

Chapters

Commit to create confidence. I think one of the most important results of the SeedChange program is the confidence that our members get of being able to create the tool or product or business or service they're looking to bring to their customers or bring to the world. People think that confidence is like something you have to choose to do at the outset. I'm trying to be confident like that. That's brashness. That's braggadocio, but it's only surface-level deep. True confidence is the end of a process. And I'm a big fan of Dan Sullivan's 4 Cs method. He says that first you need to commit. You're going to decide you're going to make this, you know, new truth happen. And then from that, you are underqualified, which means it takes courage to be getting through that. That courage can only come because of that commitment and the gap in skills that you have. And then third is going to be the capabilities that you gain in order to be able to create what you want to put into the world. And finally, you get confidence.
