We're putting on a free summit this month. We're going to share some of the greatest principles we've found in terms of how great teachers, great authorities actually convey ideas truthfully with an impact.
Remember that every time you open your mouth, you are engaging in a dialogue, not a monologue. Find ways to get your audience involved with you.
When we're speaking with friends, we're not worried about being judged. We're natural and we're authentic. So what we're going to do is we're going to say the pleasure of speaking with friends and imagine that when we're speaking to people we don't know or maybe in large groups.
Do something out of the box because ultimately if you want to be more confident, then you can't take life too seriously. You are right now one well-constructed, one well-delivered talk away from the next huge breakthrough of your life.

Waiting to feel confident is the wrong goal. Completely, and it's a huge myth in our society that we need to shake out of people. Confidence actually comes after we take action.
When you can define that you do something special for a certain type of person and you've got unique intellectual property, people immediately assume that you're in the top 10% of that and that they plot you on the power law.
