Confidence For The Win
In exchange for self-doubt, successful women entrepreneurs work out their confidence muscles.
As I shared in my book, Personal Branding Through On- Purpose Living, “Confidence, even among experts, can waver. It’s natural to find yourself confident at one thing but not so confident at other things. The key to building confidence is to practice projecting confidence until you master it.
