What's up, everybody? Welcome back to the Level Up Podcast.

I'm Paul Alex, and today we're going to be talking about something that every entrepreneur faces, building confidence when you're starting from ground zero. Look, let's be real.

When you're getting started, you don't feel like the expert. You don't have the money, the experience, or even the wins yet.
But guess what? That doesn't matter.

Confidence isn't something that you wait for. It's actually something that you build.
First, confidence comes from action, not motivation. Too many people sit around waiting to feel ready.

You'll never feel ready. The only way to build confidence is to take messy action, imperfect action.
Fail, learn, and improve. Second, stack small wins.

You don't go from zero to millionaire overnight. You build confidence by setting small achievable goals and actually hitting them consistently.

Win the day, then win the week, and soon you'll feel unstoppable. And lastly, stop waiting for approval.
No one's coming to tell you that you're good enough. You have to believe it first.

You got to show up every day. You have to outwork everyone.
And you have to earn the confidence through results. Bottom line, confidence isn't given.
It's actually built. You got to take action.

You got to stack wins.

And you got to prove it to yourself that you belong in the game thanks for tuning in to the love all podcast i'm paul alex reminding you that you got to start now you got to stay consistent and as always keep leveling up thanks for listening up to the love of all podcast if you enjoyed today's episode make sure to share with a family friend and everyone you know who's ready to level up leave a five-star review on spotify apple podcast and wherever you tune in it really helps spreading the word and don't forget to check out officialpaulalex.com for more episodes and resources to kickstart your journey let's level up together.
