Confidence works like compound interest
Confidence works like compound interest
Are you searching for confidence?
Stop looking for it.
These are my 3️⃣ tidbits on compounding confidence in your life:
1. Don’t wait
You don’t wait to “feel confident” to start. Otherwise you will be waiting to infinity.
Most people get it backwards:
❌ “I’ll act when I feel confident.”
✔ Truth: Confidence comes after you act. Consistently.
Confidence isn’t a prerequisite - it’s a consequence of taking consistent action.
2. Consistent actions
Small, consistent actions today create compounding confidence, much like interest compounding in a bank account.
Interest grows money
Consistent actions grows confidence
As the ATO’s spokesperson, every interview I did was compounding my confidence in public speaking, something I never thought I would be confident at.
3. The Secret Formula
It’s simple, take action. If there’s still inertia, take a tinier action. And then repeat the dose again.
Confidence is an inside job…
Only you, can compound it for you.
