INSIGHT

Confidence Comes From Demonstrated Performance

  • Confidence is built through demonstrated performance, not self-deception.
  • Your brain needs evidence you've done something before to feel comfortable doing it again.
ADVICE

Pick A Skill And Practice Until Proven

  • Figure out the specific skill you want and practice it until you can perform reliably.
  • You must actually do the work because you cannot trick your unconscious into believing you're competent.
ADVICE

Use 'Fake It' Only As A Short-Term Bridge

  • Use 'fake it till you make it' only as a short-term bridge and only if you already have a baseline.
  • Rely primarily on real practice; faking works briefly but won't replace competence.
