Entrepreneurship • May 7, 2025 9:01:27 AM • Written by: Erin Aquin & Steve Haase

As a business owner, your confidence directly impacts every decision you make. But traditional ideas about confidence can actually hold you back. This episode reveals a fresh perspective on building sustainable confidence that goes beyond just "believing in yourself" or following others' formulas.

Erin and Steve reveal how to build authentic, grounded confidence that withstands business challenges without falling into the traps of over-confidence or under-confidence.

You will discover:

  • The crucial difference between grounded confidence and borrowed confidence - and why following someone else's formula can leave you stranded when things change in your industry
  • How to build confidence through intentional preparation and process, rather than waiting for external validation or success
  • Why "business is a spiritual practice" and how this perspective can transform your relationship with confidence
  • Practical strategies for moving beyond both overconfidence and underconfidence to find your authentic foundation
