Someone asked a question on Facebook a few years back:
What's the difference between confidence and being cocky?
The answer I gave:
"Confident people can back it up. Cocky people are usually covering over that they can't"
I see it every day online.
It's easy to start a business in 2019: Grab a domain for a few bucks on GoDaddy, slap up a website, take an hour to start your social media accounts, and you're off to the races!
But that's just the beginning.
Can you deliver results?
You'll have to if you expect people to give you their hard-earned money.
You have to also invest time and resources improving yourself every day.
Cocky = is when people make up stories of the six-figure month that they just had, when it would really be six figures only if a decimal point was in there ($1,000.00 is technically "six-figures")
Confident = delivering results for people to the point that they become walking billboards and sing their praises all over.
Cocky = thinking they know everything already, and that there's nothing else to learn.
Confident = realizing that others have done things that they haven't done yet, and they can help shorten the learning curve.
I once had someone sign up for my Secret Coach Club newsletter and then drop out before he even received the first issue in the mail (this was back when I offered month-to-month subscriptions - now I only do annual ones). He told me that he changed his mind after ordering, decided that he had this whole coaching thing figured out before reading one word of it, and that was that ...
I wished him luck, but shook my head at that kind of thinking.
That's being cocky, not confident.
Confident people learn the methods that I teach in Secret Coach Club, and put them to work to grow their coaching businesses.
The deadline to get the June issue is in a few days, and you can secure yours here:
