  Speaker 1: Today we're going to talk about how to build self-confidence, and I'm going to give you three easy steps that you can implement in your daily life to build confidence.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: My experience has been that confidence ebbs and flows, and what I mean by that is some days I wake up with a tremendous amount of confidence and I feel like I can overcome any obstacle, and I feel like I can overcome any obstacle.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: In other days, I might wake up lacking confidence and really trying to avoid difficult situations and challenges.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, what I've learned is that maintaining a high level of confidence comes down to doing very small things correctly day in and day out.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So here are the three easy steps.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Number one learn how to say no.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Saying no is critically important to maintaining your mental health, but it's also important in terms of achieving your goals.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: This means that you've got to tune out distractions and you've got to really stay hyper-focused on the most important tasks that you've got to do.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: If someone invites you to do something, just because you don't have another meeting that day that directly conflicts with that invitation, it doesn't mean that you're free.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You've still got work to do and you can still say no.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I've got this time planned for my work and really, quite frankly, you don't need to give any explanation.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's just easy to say no, I can't do it, I'm busy.

  Speaker 1: Number one learn how to say no.

• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's just easy to say no, I can't do it, I'm busy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Number two if you want to build self-confidence, outwork everyone else.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And really, when you're trying to outwork other people, it's not just about saying I'm going to outwork everybody or putting in a certain amount of time.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: What it really requires is having an extreme amount of discipline.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant is one of my absolute favorite athletes, and one of the things I loved about Kobe was his mindset.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: He wanted to practice more than everybody else.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: If you're working harder than everybody else, then you're going to feel like you deserve to receive more, and that feeling will manifest itself.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm a big believer that you really can manifest things into reality.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: The third thing that you can do on a daily basis to build confidence is keep the commitments that you make to yourself.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: This is a lot easier said than done.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: If you say you're going to get up early in the morning, get up early in the morning.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: If you say you're going to the gym, go.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: If you say that you're going to make 50 sales calls today, don't leave the office until you've made 60 sales calls.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: If you do those things day in and day out with consistency, you're gonna gain an advantage every single day on other people.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So remember, when you're trying to build confidence, it's about doing little things on a daily basis and being consistent.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Look, if you take massive action, you're either going to learn or you're going to succeed.
• 5:01
