- Confidence comes from clarity.
500+ people. Two virtual stages. Zero panic attacks.
A couple years ago, the thought of presenting to 500+ people would have sent me into a spiral. But this month? I felt calm, confident, and completely in my element.
I’ve learned that confidence comes from clarity.
Most entrepreneurs think confidence will just come one day when they are feeling ready. But real confidence comes from getting laser-focused on three things:
WHO you can help (your ideal client)
HOW you can help them (your unique solution)
WHY you're the right person to help them (your unfair advantage)
When you nail this foundation and truly believe in it, that nervous energy transforms into unstoppable confidence. You stop questioning if you belong on that stage because you KNOW you do.
Ready to build that unshakeable confidence in your business?
I work with freelancers and small business owners every day to get crystal clear on their positioning. If you're tired of second-guessing yourself and ready to show up with total confidence, let's chat. Reply to this email for more information on my growth accelerator.
