Episode notes
Self-Efficacy Predicts Success
- Belief in your ability (self-efficacy) strongly predicts performance, sometimes more than skill.
- Albert Bandura identifies four evidence-based sources to build that belief: mastery, vicarious learning, persuasion, and physiology.
Build Confidence With Mastery Memories
- Create and recall past wins to boost current confidence and build an identity of success.
- Intentionally collect small victories and mentally rehearse them before facing challenges.
Use Role Models To Raise Belief
- Watch people who achieve what you want and use their success as evidence you can too.
- Celebrate others' wins and replace envy with the mindset: if they can do it, I can do it.
