308: Building Unshakable Belief Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
Have you ever looked at someone and thought, “Wow, they’re just so confident. I wish I had that kind of energy.” Maybe it’s a colleague who walks into a room and owns it. Or someone who speaks up in meetings without second-guessing themselves. Or that person at a networking event who seems totally at ease talking to strangers while you’re off in the corner pretending to check your email. Have you ever wondered, How do they do that? Like, what do they know that I don’t? I want you to know that they’re not better than you, they’re not more qualified than you, and they’re not waiting for someone to give them confidence. They’ve learned how to create it, and guess what? You can too. Let’s dive in…

Show Notes:
Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.
Have you ever looked at someone and thought, “Wow, they’re just so confident. I wish I had that kind of energy.” Maybe it’s a colleague who walks into a room and owns it. Or someone who speaks up in meetings without second-guessing themselves. Or that person at a networking event who seems totally at ease talking to strangers while you’re off in the corner pretending to check your email. Have you ever wondered, How do they do that? Like, what do they know that I don’t? I want you to know that they’re not better than you, they’re not more qualified than you, and they’re not waiting for someone to give them confidence. They’ve learned how to create it, and guess what? You can too.
This is one of the biggest breakthroughs my clients experience inside The RE*INVENTION™ Process. When they realize that confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t. It’s a feeling. It’s an emotion. And like any emotion, it’s created by your thoughts. It isn’t a trait, it’s a skill. Let me say that again because it’s game-changing: Confidence is a feeling, and you can choose to create it. Now, if you’re skeptical, you’re probably thinking something like, “Yeah, but I don’t feel confident”, and that’s okay. It's pretty human to think like this. Most of the high-achieving professionals I coach come to me feeling anything but confident. They say things like: “I know I should be further along by now,” or “What if I mess up and everyone sees it?”, and even “I’m great at my job, but I feel like a fraud half the time.” Does this sound familiar to you? That fear you’re feeling? That self-doubt? That inner critic whispering, “Who do you think you are?” That’s normal. But it doesn’t have to be permanent.
Let me tell you about one of my clients. She is a tax preparer with over 15 years of experience. Brilliant at what she does. But she came to me because she was holding herself back from going after the next big thing in her career: launching her own boutique firm. She kept saying, “I’ll feel more confident once I get another certification, once I save a little more, once I talk to a few more people who’ve done it.” But here’s what I told her: You don’t take action because you’re confident. You become confident because you take action. Confidence doesn’t come from more degrees, more practice, or even more success. It comes from how you are thinking. So we worked on her thoughts. She began practicing thinking the thought, “I already have everything I need to start.” That one shift helped her move from stuck to momentum. She opened her firm six months later. Not because she felt 100% ready, but because she learned how to generate confidence ahead of time.
I want you to think back to a time when you felt confident. Like, truly confident. Maybe it was the first time you did a successful client presentation. Or when you spoke up in a meeting and everyone agreed with what you were saying. Or even something small, like showing up at a new gym and realizing, “Hey, I belong here.” What were you thinking in those moments? Were you thinking, “I can do this”? “I’ve got this”? “I know what I’m doing”? Now I want you to ask yourself: What actions did you take from those thoughts? What results did you create? This is exactly how confidence works. I use this process all the time to help high-stress professionals like you rewire the way you approach confidence.
