The Audacity (Taylor's Version)
Episode 647: Show Notes
As much as we’d love to wave a magic wand and bestow confidence upon others, unfortunately, confidence isn’t something you can gift to other people. It’s often so much easier said than done, but we’ve whittled down a list of things you can do to create your own confidence if you weren’t naturally born with it or nurtured in that area! Confidence can be created, it can be learned. In this episode, we look at how our respective upbringings allowed us to forge confidence and create the lifestyles of our choosing, and how you, too, can nurture your confidence and change your beliefs!

Romanticizing Your Life and Changing Your Beliefs
We were raised to believe we could do anything and our respective experiences of growing up on a Christmas tree farm and in show homes put us in close enough proximity to luxury and wealth (even if it wasn’t legitimate). This allowed us to romanticize our lives and shifted our concept of what was possible for us as adults. If you tell yourself the same thing enough times, you can change your beliefs. We wholeheartedly believe in the value of romanticizing your life to the point that you start to imagine more for yourself and ultimately achieve it.
Identifying Your Motivating Factor
Money doesn’t have to be a motivating factor but identifying a motivating factor is important for growth, as well as recognizing that money will help you to reach those goals! It’s all about incremental steps. Start with the little things that don’t cost money to build the confidence to figure out what it is that you want that might cost money. We want you to get to the point where you feel that you deserve it!
Building Confidence with Luxury Upgrades
What does luxury look like to you? It could simply be creating space to exercise before starting your workday, or reading a few pages of a good book in your lunch break! Owning your own business means you can build simple luxuries into your routine, such as the simple luxury of flexibility. As a kid, what did you identify as a luxury? Chances are, those things are far more achievable than you could ever have imagined. Building those simple luxuries into your regular life builds your confidence, allowing you to aim higher and higher until your dream lifestyle feels like the most natural thing in the world.
