Don't Fake It till You Make It

'Fake it till you make it.' I've heard that advice so many times in my life. Today, I am here to give you different advice: There is no need to fake anything when you can connect with your True Confidence in any moment.

Let's tap into your authentic CONFIDENCE as you express what you have to offer others through your purposeful work.

The past few weeks I've been sharing tips on:
1. Clarifying the purposeful work you're truly meant to do.
2. Summoning Courage to move beyond Fear in order to step into that work.
3. Connecting with the Ideal People you're meant to serve.

This week, I've been leading a group of rising entrepreneurs through the next step: CONFIDENTLY expressing what you have to offer others. We took a look at where confidence was blocked and how to tap into true confidence.

For the sake of your own Confidence-building, let's imagine that you are right now being asked to walk out on stage to share about your purposeful work and express how you offer your gifts. For many, this level of visibility would invoke some degree of anxiety, fear, or insecurity. At which time, you might attempt to 'fake it till you make it.' Or perhaps even pretending to be confident would feel out of reach.

What is important to realize is that in this moment, and every moment, you can access your true confidence. It lives in your Essence or Highest Self and is available to you at any time.

It is fascinating to guide people to find their own unique way to feel truly Confident by connecting with their Essence in the course of one breath. For me, I simply say: "I am trusting" and those words anchor me into my Essence. Some choose to focus on their heart and they are immediately connected with their Essence. Others picture a meaningful symbol and are instantly connected with their Essence.

Here's your 3-Step Experiment in Connecting with your True Confidence to express your purposeful work:

Step 1: Let's imagine that you can connect with your Essence right now, simply by closing your eyes and inviting your Essence (Highest Self) to fill up your entire body as you breathe. Give it a whirl! Why not?

Step 2: Now, accepting whatever you are experiencing, feel the connection with your Essence as you say out loud: "I am confident that..." Complete that statement a few times and see what words naturally flow out of your mouth, as you stay connected to your Essence.

Step 3: Now let your Essence express something about your purposeful work and how you offer your gifts. Keep repeating "I am confident that..." and let your Essence ease-fully share.

Imagine that your Essence leads you right onto stage and speaks right into the microphone. From that place of true easeful natural confidence, what would it say to the audience?

Once you experience the true confidence of your Essence, you realize there's no need to 'fake it till you make it'. True confidence is one breath away.
