I often get asked by new college graduates, young entrepreneurs and people who are looking to switch careers, “How do I increase the belief I have in myself?” I personally have never been able to “think” my way into confidence and self belief. I’ve only ever been able to increase the belief I had in myself by increasing my competency in whatever I was trying to pursue. Only through action, facing my fears and putting myself in uncomfortable situations have I ever been able to increase my self belief and confidence.
