2. How to Close the Confidence GAP

Learn three ways you can close the confidence GAP as you grow your business and create your best life.

G-Give Compliments

Hopefully you've heard that collaboration is better than competition. As you give other people positive compliments, you will also begin to see those positive aspects that are within you. Lift up and encourage other entrepreneurs. Send a an inspiring note to a mom that is working from home while also doing distance learning. Text a friend from church and let them know you're praying for them. Also, when someone pays you a compliment, stop deflecting and just SAY THANK YOU.

A- Affirmations (put them everywhere)

~ The background of your phone or computer

~ Sticky notes on your bathroom mirror

~ Even that fancy digital print from an Etsy shop

Whether you change it every week or have a consistent one for the entire year, it is important to repeat an inspiring message that will keep you moving forward, even on the hardest days. My affirmation for this month is inspired by Grit & Virtue and says "I wake up with purpose in my lungs".

P- Practice

TAKE IMPERFECT ACTION STEPS until you get better and then you will achieve your goals. When a baby is learning to walk we know that they are going to fall down, but we don't let them stay there. You are a young entrepreneur and have to choose to get back up every single day. Professional athletes have even fallen at the Olympics, and they get back up and try again. This applies to every area of your life. Even if you are not an elite gymnast, you are an elite entrepreneur.

CONFIDENCE IS A CHOICE. Once you decide that you are going to close the confidence GAP, then you will to hit your next level of success. Confidence is a part of your identity and not just a feeling. Shift your mindset and add those steps above. Try it for the next 30 days and then see how "ready" you truly are for the next level in your business.
