Why Your Skills Matter (Big Time!)

Marijanel Show

059. Do you want to do what you do more successfully or efficiently? Today we uncover what you really need in order to do that!
When it comes to courage, the timeless question of "What comes first, the chicken or the egg?" can also be applied to the development of skills and confidence. Is it necessary to gain confidence before developing skills or vice versa?

Today we continue on learning about the impact of having and gaining confidence and I highlight the significance of gaining experience in different aspects of life and work. We explore how having experience in a specific field can lead to a competitive advantage over others, ultimately resulting in increased confidence.
I will share an endearing story about an elderly potter who taught me a valuable lesson that extended beyond his exceptional handiwork and what I discovered was more valuable that the outcome of his work.
Suppose you lack the skills required for something you aspire to achieve. In that case, have you considered the "fake it till you make it" approach?
I share about successful people who lack confidence despite their achievements. On the other hand, we'll also examine the "fake it till you make it" approach, where individuals push themselves out of their comfort zone and learn new skills through trial and error, even if they may not feel entirely prepared. Yes, how do we get the confidence to get out there and take risks and embrace new challenges to learn from the failures and successes?
I'm here to build some confidence in you because I myself have had to grow confidence. Some of us are born with it and others of us have to grow it and build it and somehow find it within ourselves to take one baby step after another until we grow the experience to have confidence in something.
You'll leave the show today with a newfound appreciation for the value of gaining diverse experiences while on your quest for confidence.
