Boost Your Confidence

Fear of other people's opinion will tank your chance of success long before any external obstacle. I brought my daughter to this event at the Apollo a couple weeks ago called Black Entrepreneurs Day. We meet Whoopi Goldberg, a cultural icon. She's an egot. It means you won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. And here's what my daughter asked her. Is your real name Whoopi? If I get a little, you know, a couple butterflies before I get on stage, I think of all the times I crushed it on stage. Crushed it. And to be honest, I haven't bombed in a while. See how today goes, right? But that's how you boost your confidence, is actually realizing that confidence comes from past experiences, not motivational talks. It comes from past experiences, right? The things you've already done. This is one of the tools you want to use to front load yourself to be successful.
