The following is adapted from Noah St. John’s video and discussion about self-confidence and believing in yourself.
Today I want to talk to you about something that’s very important in fact it’s absolutely critical to your success both in your personal life as well as your professional life and that’s the subject of confidence. In this video, I want to talk about first what self-confidence is, then what causes it. (In my next video, I will show you how to build unstoppable self-confidence.)
The Subconscious Mind and Self-Confidence
Let’s first talk about what self-confidence really is. Very simply, self-confidence is the belief that you can do what you set out to do. Most people have a belief that it’s somewhere in their subconscious that can be summed up in two words: “I can’t.” I can’t do it; I can’t lose weight; I can’t make more money; I can’t start my online business; I can’t get more clients; I can’t finish my book; I can’t meet the person of my dreams. Whatever it is that they want to do, their unconscious subconscious belief is I can’t do it.
As I’ve shown you in my book, The Secret Code of Success, the human mind is like an iceberg. About ten percent is visible above the surface — that’s your conscious mind — the vast ninety to ninety-five percent is hidden below the surface in your subconscious.
