In this episode, Chabidaye discuss: Confidence growth comes from within Factors that hold women entrepreneurs back How to build confidence The power of creating your own validation Key Takeaways: Confidence is a skill, not a fixed trait. It can be developed through action and practice, and is based on your belief in your own abilities and self-worth, not external validation. Women entrepreneurs often make the mistake of waiting for permission from others (clients, mentors, family) before taking action, which holds them back from success. Action builds confidence. Taking bold steps, even when you don't feel completely ready, helps you grow and develop self-assurance. The more you do something, the more confident you become. Create your own validation through a "confidence wins journal" by documenting your achievements, risks taken, and challenges overcome. This helps train your brain to recognize your own power and capabilities. "The only validation you need is the results you create, not other people's opinion." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath CONNECT WITH CHABIDAYE: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chabidaye.ramnath.3 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chabidaye/ Website: https://leadandlift.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chabidayejaglalramnath/ Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine Talla Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
