Dan Martell - Here’s why you don’t have confidence

00:00:00.000 Most people are so flaky in their commitments to others

00:00:03.120 that it erodes and it eats away

00:00:04.680 at their ability to have confidence.

00:00:06.120 See, most people erode their confidence

00:00:07.800 by setting goals or setting commitments

00:00:10.020 or telling people, I'm gonna do this.

00:00:12.140 Tomorrow, I'm gonna work out, or I'm gonna run this race,

00:00:14.780 or I'm gonna build this company,

00:00:16.100 or I'm gonna do this thing.

00:00:17.080 And what happens is in doing that,

00:00:18.760 they think they're doing the right thing

00:00:19.760 by calling this shot.

00:00:21.080 But what you wanna do is focus on the daily standard,

00:00:23.980 the daily activity that you can commit to yourself

00:00:26.520 that you'll do every day.

00:00:27.840 If you just say, I'm gonna wake up every day

00:00:29.860 at 6 AM no matter what.

00:00:31.120 Every day, including Saturday and Sunday.

00:00:33.020 Some people say yes to everything

00:00:34.440 because there's no meaning to it.

00:00:35.620 I say I'm going to be somewhere at 7 AM.

00:00:37.320 I'm there at 7 AM.

00:00:38.340 It's not canceling on you the night before.

00:00:40.240 Because I know that my word affects my ability

00:00:44.040 to build my confidence and the impact of my confidence

00:00:47.260 in conversations and moving my dreams forward,

00:00:49.540 I am so selective on what I say yes to.
