Favorite Self Confidence Quote
If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.
Definition of Self Confidence
Self confidence is about loving yourself. If you learn to love yourself, motivate yourself, and believe that you’re good enough, think of all the things you can accomplish.
Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Joss would constantly compare herself to everyone. She measured her success to other peoples. She never thought she was pretty enough, or smart enough, or capable the way other women were and it seriously affected her.
The “AHA” Moment
When Joss started JossBecause, that was the first time she realized that she has the capability to do anything she sets her mind to.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence
Life is incredibly refreshing for Joss. The women that she would compare herself to, or be jealous of, they’ve become her peers and they now all support each other. It’s a beautiful thing. You learn that comparing yourself to successful women does nothing, but supporting women, that’s when the magic happens!
The One Self Confidence Tip For the Listener
Remember that you are just as capable as anyone else, never devalue your accomplishments, and do you!
