Outwork Your Self Doubt

With the rise of internet gurus claiming to know all the secrets to “The Good Life”, it’s no wonder it has grown to such a huge industry. You see these ads on your Facebook feeds and constant emails pounding your inbox to just believe in yourself and the law of attraction will deliver what you’ve always been waiting for. I do have a firm belief in changing your self image to better your circumstances, but that alone is not going to get you there.

You know what is? Hard work. Period.

There are virtually zero self-made millionaires or executive level employees that don’t understand this concept. Set aside the outliers that got their through nepotism, and you have an elite group of folks that don’t let the little things bother them, and push through to achieve their successes against all odds.

Think Invisible Hand Theory by economist Adam Smith.

Whether you’re striving for the next promotion, trying to gain more commissions, or just trying to improve your position in life, it is comes down to one simple concept, explain well by entrepreneur Alex Hormozi:

”You don’t become confident by shouting affirmations in the mirror, but by having a stack of undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self doubt.”
