23. Everyday Ways You Can Start To Grow In True Confidence and Courage

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision.” - Winston Churchill In today’s episode of the Unlimited Potential Show we dive into the topic of courage and confidence, and how you can use these two virtues to create a mindset that will never stop chasing your dreams. Some of the world’s most courageous leaders have felt fear before, the difference is they’ve embraced the feeling of uncertainty and vulnerability and used their own personal ambitions for success to guide their paths towards their goals. We dig into the mindsets of powerful leaders like Tom Brady, Conor McGregor, and Brene Brown to see what exactly holds us back and how we can overcome it.  Listen in as we talk about the importance of vulnerability, how fear can’t stop you, the difference between a good success and a great success, and how going after your natural passions will accelerate your growth. We discuss the aspect of shame and how it can distract us from what we truly want, how to combat this shame and understanding that even if nothing is perfect it’s still progress.  This episode is full of encouragement to embrace your vulnerabilities and tips to grow your confidence naturally. When we start changing our mindsets about the hurdles we have in our lives, we start making life changing decisions and we believe these two things are the keys to unlocking your unlimited potential!
