How can we decrease the volume of fear in our head and increase our feeling of confidence? Because, for many of us, if we can do that, won’t our work have a better chance of succeeding?

“I got this!” That’s the feeling we want. “I *got* this. I can do it.” 

You know what I think of when I think about confidence? I think about the difference between “this *MIGHT* work” and “this might *NOT* work.” 

Which way does the voice in your head normally sound like? For many of us it’s WAY more common to resonate with “this might NOT work.” 

Truth is, for many of us, it’s difficult to feel positive, optimistic or confident about a creative idea or project. 

**Does your head sound like that?**

Well, you’re in for a treat because you’re about to hear things you need to hear about confidence, how to grow it and how to change that dialogue in your head. 

**Because you need confidence to take the right kind of risks,** and success for us independents relies on us taking the right kind of risks with the right kind of energy and outlook. 

So, first of all lets talk about what I call the “Necessary Delusion” of being an entrepreneur.

Why You Don’t Feel Confident (& How to Fix it) FS224

As an independent, a full time indie-entrepreneur, a maker of things that sell, a creator of my own wealth, a designer of my own creativity over time, I feel a strong call to do more things my way for the results I want. 

Which, for many of us, seems to beg this question: **can you give more of yourself over to being a creator?**

Often times I hear it referred to as *“pursuing completely”* — like, how completely are you pursuing your thing? 

I think this plays solidly into that dream of being an artist who abandons herself to her work. 

Like, many of us really, if we’re honest, feel like we should have that kind of abandon, conviction, sold-out-ness to the thing we’re pursuing. Right? 

**BUT, what if pursuing that thing is putting other things in our life in jeopardy? **

What if we want to  pursue our blogging more *completely*, BUT our blogging isn’t contributing to our financial needs yet. We want to give blogging more time because maybe that’s what’s necessary for us to even get to a place where we can generate revenue, BUT, spending more time there may take away from the job that IS earning us revenue, or our family or other relationships that might be good for us to keep in tact as well. 

**So, today we are going to talk about this:** how much are you pursuing your thing *AND* how much *SHOULD ANY OF US* pursue our thing? 

Should we leap with abandon and trust the universe and the intention of our hearts to construct the solution in real time? Or does being cautious really give us a better chance at success?
