DOES YOUR CONFIDENCE LEVEL REFLECT REALITY? SHOULD IT?

Why do many intelligent people lack confidence? Why do so many unintelligent people have a lot of confidence? How do you know if your confidence closely matches your ability or you have a problem with self-assessment? This is all addressed in the course.

WHY CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM IS SO IMPORTANT FOR ENTREPRENEURS

When you start your business, there is a lot of stress, low confidence, and self-doubt. These feelings can really damage momentum and hurt the business. On the other hand, if you can give yourself more confidence, that confidence will carry you through the challenging parts of your business and give you the boldness to attempt things you otherwise wouldn't. Also, many external forces constantly damage our confidence and we need to know how to keep out confidence and self-esteem up.
