Reverse Engineering Confidence
Reverse engineering confidence is the best way to understand what you need to do to build up your confidence in a given area. Confidence is a product of preparation. But not all preparation leads to confidence. Only preparation that leads to success will lead to confidence.
As a result, preparation requires working both relentlessly and persistently to find your unique path to success. Knowing when and why you need to switch between relentless and persistent preparation requires a knowledgeable coach. Finally, once you have a knowledgeable coach to help you with your preparation, you need a sustainable source of energy to follow-through with your coach’s plan. This sustainable source of energy comes from motivation.
Therefore, reverse engineering the process to gain confidence flows through the following path:
Motivation > Knowledgeable Coach > Preparation > Success > Confidence
This means if you lack confidence you either lack a knowledgeable coach or you lack motivation. Confidence is not the problem you solve first.
