All right, guys, we're going to get right into it today. I hope you're having an amazing week so far and you're looking forward to continuing to follow your purpose and mission over the weekend here. But I want to talk to you about something I was thinking about this morning, and that is the idea that confidence is overrated.

Let me just tell you that one more time. Confidence is overrated. Now, I know what you're thinking, this can't be coming from George Wright because you're one of the most confident guys out there. And that would be true. I am pretty confident. But, Here's the bottom line. How many of you believe that your confidence is the real key to growing your business and becoming more successful?

What if I told you that it wasn't the most important thing? See, you know growing up in life and business . I always prioritized confidence. I knew that if I just Acted as if, right? You've heard that before. Act as if, act confident. In fact, I would have people tell me all the time.

It's you're so cocky and I'd say, no, it's not cocky. It's confident. So I even really promoted confidence. And the bottom line is because of that, I was able to really just steamroll through success and make things happen. I would come into rooms where I was doing business completely scared to death, not knowing what I was doing, but I would just act.

Confident. And I would have success. It's one of the reasons why I got the deals with, Trump and Robbins and Kiyosaki. And it's why I did events all over the world. It's why I grew a nutrition company, apparel company. Like it's because of the confidence not only to create success, but have people attracted to you.

People get attracted to confidence. Most times it was really just a false sense of confidence. Most times it was the fake it till you make it syndrome. And what I really had was I just had belief in myself. That I was going to figure it out. And as I grew older, I started to recognize the difference between confidence, self doubt, or, self worth.

And confidence, I realized, really only truly grows. Your real stable, solid confidence only grows through your experience. It only grows through your actions. And but how can you have confidence in something when you're constantly operating outside your comfort zone if you haven't experienced it and you haven't done it?

You don't know whether you can do it. You can't truly have real confidence that you can do it because at the end of the day, you're operating outside your comfort zone. You're operating in areas that you can't be confident in. Are we talking about real confidence or are we talking about a fear? fake false sense of confidence.

So you're going into situations and you only have what I've really realized is just belief in yourself and your ability to figure it out. Belief in yourself and your ability to figure it out. Then when you get through that situation, whether it's a win or a loss, a success or a failure, you're still going to gain confidence because You're learning, you're growing, you're developing you're adding your resistance to the fear because now you know you can make it through it and you won't actually die speaking on stage in front of 3, 000 people.

So that's when you gain real confidence is after you do things. So if you need confidence to do things but you don't have it, what does that mean? It's this idea of this equation I always talk about. Your belief in yourself is what leads you to take action. And those actions... Or those results, or those experiences, that will validate.

Or grow or change your belief, which will affect and grow your confidence. Does that make sense? It's really the belief in yourself and your abilities that's going to get you success in business becaus
