How long have you been putting something off because you keep telling yourself…
“I’ll do it when I feel more confident.”
Confidence doesn’t come first.
You grow your confidence by DOING THE THING. 🤗
So many people are waiting for the perfect time, the right qualification, more money, more experience, more energy or more certainty.
The problem is… none of those things create confidence.
Taking action does.
When I started my own business, I wasn’t overflowing with confidence.
I had no fucking clue what I was doing, I just took the next small step. 👣
When I started creating videos online…
I hated it… I still don’t particularly enjoy it, I just get it done.
When I got my first photoshoot done for my biz, I hated posing and fake smiling (I ended up using tricks for this to make me laugh). 🤭
Do I enjoy photoshoots?
Nope.
Do they grow my business?
Yep.
So I do them anyway. 📸
When I ran my first Reiki workshop I was so nervous, I had a whole agenda all with timings and everything… then loved teaching so much I never needed an agenda again.
Now I can teach with my eyes closed!
When I increased my prices… nervous.
When I hired help… nervous.
I didn’t do those things because I felt confident.
I became confident because I did them, it was time for my biz. 🫶🏻
Every scary conversation. Every uncomfortable decision. Every leap into the unknown.
Every single one became evidence that I could handle more than I’d given myself credit for.
That’s all confidence really is.
Evidence.
So that’s how confidence is built.
Not by thinking about doing something.
By doing it. 👌🏼
I just kept doing the thing, whatever it was – and I grew.
The first time was uncomfortable. The tenth time felt easier. The hundredth time felt normal.
Confidence is a by-product of repeatedly proving to yourself that you can survive discomfort.
So stop waiting until you feel ready (you’ll probably never feel completely ready).
The magic doesn’t happen before you start.
The magic happens because you started. 🪄 💫
And suddenly the opportunities, the people, the confidence and the momentum start showing up.
What’s one thing you’ve been putting off because you’re waiting to feel ready?
I challenge you to JFDI:
Just Fucking Do It.
Your future confidence is waiting on the other side of today’s courage.
💜 Client Love: “I never thought I could do the things I’m doing now. Carly believed in me before I believed in myself, and step by step my confidence grew.”
If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for confidence to magically appear…
Maybe it’s time to stop waiting.
Maybe it’s time to take one small, messy, imperfect step.
JFDI: go and do the thing you’ve been avoiding.
Future You will thank you for it.
