“Welcome to the *Year of Profit*

podcast, the place where we talk about building wealth in every part of your life—financially, mentally, and emotionally. I’m your host, Joe Shortridge, and today we’re diving into a topic that every single one of us has struggled with at some point: **confidence and self-worth.**

Now, if you’ve ever walked into a room and felt like you weren’t good enough, or you’ve held yourself back from opportunities because of self-doubt, then this episode is for you. We’re going to talk about **proven, real-world strategies to build confidence, boost your self-worth, and step into your power.**

So grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s start rewriting the story you’ve been telling yourself.”

SEGMENT 1: Understanding Confidence & Self-Worth

* Define **confidence**: trusting your ability to handle situations.

* Define **self-worth**: the belief that you *deserve* love, respect, and success.

* Psychology piece: how childhood, failures, and comparison can erode self-worth.

Childhood experiences like abuse or neglect create negative self-perceptions, while repeated failures foster feelings of inadequacy. These internal issues are amplified by social comparisons, particularly in the age of social media, leading to persistent self-criticism and diminished self-worth. Over time, this cycle erodes confidence, creating deeply ingrained negative beliefs that can only be countered through self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts, and focusing on personal strengths and achievements.

* Message: “Confidence is not the absence of fear—it’s the decision to move forward anyway.”

SEGMENT 2: Proven Ways to Build Confidence

1. **Master Small Wins**

* Do one thing daily outside your comfort zone.

* Build momentum by stacking little victories.

* Example: speaking up in a meeting, trying a new workout, introducing yourself to someone new.

2. **Body Language & Physiology**

* How posture, eye contact, and tone of voice change your self-perception.

* Practical: “Power poses” for 2 minutes before an interview or presentation.

3. **Skill Building = Confidence**

* Confidence grows when competence grows.

* Example: Learning public speaking, money management, or fitness habits.

4. **Speak Kindly to Yourself**

* Replacing self-criticism with affirmations.

* Give the audience a sample affirmation: “I am capable. I am learning. I am enough.”

SEGMENT 3: Building Self-Worth

1. **Stop the Comparison Trap**

* Social media vs. reality.

* Ask: “Am I comparing my behind-the-scenes to someone else’s highlight reel?”

2. **Set Boundaries**

* Self-worth grows when you stop saying yes to everything.

* Example: protecting your time, energy, and relationships.

3. **Practice Gratitude**

* Daily gratitude journaling rewires the brain to focus on strengths.

* Ask listeners to write 3 things tonight that they appreciate about themselves.

4. **Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection**

* Reframe failures as feedback.

* Story: A well-known figure who failed repeatedly before succeeding (e.g., J.K. Rowling, Thomas Edison).

Walt Disney

had his first animation company go bankrupt and was fired from a newspaper for lacking imagination before creating Disneyland and Mickey Mouse.

Stephen King

faced rejection from publishers before finding success, many times

---

SEGMENT 4: Exercises & Takeaways

* **The Mirror Exercise:** Every morning, say one thing you love about yourself in the mirror.

* **Confidence Journal:** Write down one win every night.

* **Accountability Partner:** Find someone who supports your growth.

* Invite listeners: “Pick just one of these exercises and commit to doing it this week.”

---

SEGMENT 5: Long-Term Habits to Maintain Confidence

* Keep learning and growing.

* Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people.

* Practice mindfulness and meditation to quiet self-doubt.

* Volunteer or mentor—serving others boosts self-worth.

“Confidence and self-worth aren’t things you’re born with—they’re things you build. Every day, with small steps, you can rewrite the way you see yourself. Remember: **you are enough, and you deserve success, love, and happiness.**
