The chat blew up. I'm too young. I'm too old. My audience isn't big enough. Who am I to talk on this? Nobody's gonna buy from me. I don't have time. These aren't excuses. They are real beliefs that real people carry every single day. And here's what I've learned in 22 years of being online: you cannot out market a belief that says you're not worthy of success. So today is not about tactics. Today is about the thing underneath all of it. I break down the three ways I protect my own confidence as an entrepreneur, share the story of getting cut from my soccer team at 16 (and how my dad got me back on the field), and give you a simple challenge you can start this week. In this episode, you'll learn: \u2022 Why higher self-confidence boosts venture success by 27% (even after controlling for funding and experience) \u2022 How to "borrow belief" from a mentor when your own tank runs dry \u2022 Why founders in weekly peer groups double their revenue growth vs. working alone \u2022 The two Slack channels we use to capture wins and kill self-doubt in real time \u2022 The 90-day wins challenge: one win a week and see what happens to your confidence   \ud83d\udce5 RESOURCE: Grab the resources from this episode at https:\/\/podcast.stu.me    \ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f FREE EVENT: Join me at the Audience to Income Summit free at https:\/\/membership.io\/summit    CONNECT WITH STU: \u2022 Website: https:\/\/stu.me  \u2022 Book "Predictable Profits": https:\/\/a.co\/d\/4GIi1uz  \u2022 Instagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/stumclaren  \u2022 Podcast: https:\/\/podcast.stu.me  \u2022 Membership.io: https:\/\/membership.io  Subscribe and leave a review if this episode helped you.
