So success, as the creator of Honda says, is 99% failure.

You need to fall on your face over and over and over again.

And once you see that failure won't kill you, you won't care as much, right?

and you won't have as much fear.

It's one of the reasons why sales is such a skillset that so many people need and why if you're a salesperson or if you get the skillset of sales, you'll always have a job is because in sales, you just get kicked in the face most of the day.

And eventually you get to a point where you're like, I don't really care anymore.

No big deal, I'll just keep going.

And so you just get past rejection and failure.

But it also comes, confidence comes from failing

then picking yourself up after failing and continuing on that builds confidence not just results of succeeding the feeling of i will not give up on myself confidence isn't just like this this feeling of i always win confidence more than anything else if i were to just like put it into one sentence or maybe two sentences is i trust myself and i can handle whatever happens

That's what it is.

Confidence isn't I always win, I succeed at everything.

It's I trust myself and I can handle whatever happens.

So that's number four.

Number five, if you wanna build more confidence, start saying yes to things that are out of your comfort zone.

When you would normally say no, just try saying yes.

Do things that are completely out of your comfort zone.

Saying yes isn't about forcing yourself, it's about expanding.

It's about understanding that confidence expands in this stretch zone.

Confidence expands when you're just outside of your comfort zone and you feel really uncomfortable, but you do it anyways and you don't die.
