Episode notes
Eight Years In Purgatory Of The Mundane
- Lisa spent eight years supporting her husband's dreams and living in a comfortable 'purgatory of the mundane' before deciding to change.
- That period felt safe but smothered her own hopes and prompted the shift toward entrepreneurship and radical confidence.
Competence Hatches Confidence
- Doing new things creates confidence because competence hatches confidence, not the other way around.
- Focus on the skill steps you need and practice them to outweigh the negative voice and gain real confidence.
Create A Tactical Blueprint
- Define the goal, list the required skills, and create daily steps to build those skills and ignore the negative voice.
- Use a tactical blueprint to make progress instead of waiting to feel confident first.
