Stop Waiting for Confidence
Build Evidence Instead
Hello Friend,
You ever hear someone say:
“I’ll do it when I’m more confident…”?
Here’s the truth:
Confidence doesn’t come before the action.
It comes after the reps.
CLIPS ARE AT THE END
Confidence is Not a Feeling — It’s Evidence
Most people think confidence is something you either have or you don’t.
Nope.
Confidence is built by collecting receipts — small wins, consistent efforts, times you showed up even when you didn’t feel ready.
Want to be more confident speaking in public?
Speak — even if your voice shakes.
Want to feel confident at the gym?
Go — even when you feel awkward.
Want to be confident in your creative work?
Post it — even if no one reacts.
Each time you act before you're ready, you’re stacking proof:
🧾 “I’ve done hard things before.”
🧾 “I can do this again.”
🧾 “I’m not perfect, but I’m showing up.”
This Week’s Real Challenge
Pick one thing you’ve been putting off until you "feel ready."
Now ask yourself:
What’s the smallest possible version of that thing I can do this week?
What would it look like if I just took one imperfect step?
Don’t wait to feel confident.
Take action, and let the confidence catch up.
Quote to Remember
“You don’t need confidence to start. You need courage. Confidence comes later.”
Confidence is earned.
Not from hype, not from affirmations, but from doing the thing.
You don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be willing.
You’ve got this.
With you in the climb,
