A few years ago, I was asked to play a bigger role in how I served my largest client. My first thought was, “Can I do this?” I found myself staring at my computer screen, completely overwhelmed. This was a growth opportunity, but I wasn’t sure I was ready for the next big step.

I had the skills, the strategies, and the vision, but there was one thing holding me back – confidence.

In running my coaching business for the last 16 years I’ve faced this MULTIPLE TIMES.

I remember thinking, “What if I’m not good enough to go bigger? What if I fail?”

But then, I realized something powerful: Confidence isn’t about being perfect, it’s about trusting yourself and your abilities, no matter the outcome.

Once I shifted my mindset and leaned into my confidence, I stepped into this opportunity like a pro.

I took bolder steps, took on new challenges, and yes – made more mistakes. But each mistake taught me something valuable and made me more confident.

If you want to grow your business, confidence is your secret weapon. And today, I’m going to show you why.

A = AWAKEN

When you lack confidence, you’re essentially holding yourself back from the opportunities that are already on your path. It’s easy to get stuck in fear: fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of not being good enough.

But, confidence is a choice. It’s the belief that you are capable, worthy, and ready to take the next step. When you choose confidence, you open the door to limitless possibilities.

B = BLUEPRINT

The key to using confidence as your secret weapon is to build it DAILY.

  1. Start by reflecting on past successes, even small ones. What have you done that you can be proud of? Make a list of these achievements and use them as evidence of your ability to succeed.
  2. Take action.

Confidence grows with each step you take, so commit to doing something every day that pushes you out of your comfort zone. Small, consistent actions lead to big results.

C = COMMITMENT

  • My commitment of the week: Inquire about a speaking engagement I postponed last year.
  • What’s your commitment for the week? What’s one action you can take today that will stretch your confidence? Maybe it’s speaking up in a meeting, reaching out to a potential client, or sharing a vulnerable post. Whatever it is, take that step and trust in your ability to handle it.
  • Journal prompt: When was the last time you doubted your ability, but pushed through anyway? How did it feel to take that leap of faith? What can you remind yourself of today to boost your confidence?
