Launching requires confidence. I think we all know this. It seems obvious. Confidence in yourself, your products, the results you deliver…and even confidence that you can help people! But – it’s a funny thing. When we’re doing something for the first time, it’s challenging to be sure that it’s going to work…so we might question ourselves. People have different reactions to the fear of launching. You might not be able to squash those fears entirely, but there are 4 things you can do, skills you can build to allow you to actually launch (even if you’ve never done it before). This week’s guest is Amy Latta, The Confidence Coach. She has some real, down to earth advice you can put in motion TODAY. If you want to be more confident, feel more ease as you work toward your launch, and gain some tools to get you back on track when you have a “moment” or two…today’s episode is for you.

Spoiler Alert: 4 Skills To Create More Confidence

1. Feel the discomfort of it not working – a willingness to feel whatever comes up.
2. Having your own back – avoiding any sort of trash talk if something doesn’t “work out”.
3. Managing our thoughts about ourselves – what do we make our launches mean about ourselves? Good or bad – can NOT make the launch define our worth?
4. …you’ll have to listen! We meandered back to this…as a strategy.
