Confidence; it gets you paid and it gets you laid….

(And how do you ‘level up’ someone who has little/none)

^^ this was adapted from a post I saw from one of my ex private coaching clients Chris Laub in his copy group

I hadn’t seen it (since I had been laid up for the last 48 hours) but was tagged in as an ‘anomaly’ in that when I came onto the copywriting ‘scene’

I came out swinging

My prices?

Premium

My service and work

The same

BUT

Even if it wasn’t (and 700k a month for my clients would say they were pretty good)

I instilled confidence in my clients because I was confident

They felt they had made a ‘smart buying decision’ and how I made them feel about their investment was just as important

If you act like a little bitch that’s what your are going to be treated like

A little bitch

No one is attracted to weakness

Confidence – in life and in business – is sexy

People are drawn to confidence

It’s attractive

To big have and be around

Believe it or not?

I was a shy little soft cock for a long time

It’s only when I was forced to go out on the street every day (when I was a headhunter) and I had to get an email address

(This may sound batshit but bear with)

Reason being they thought I was in my mid 20’s

I had just turned 19

They didn’t want me there

They wanted me out

Because I was such a little bitch I accepted it and did it

I was scared

I needed the money

I had no other choice

So every fucking lunchtime I had to get an email address – that they would email – if it bounced back

I was sacked

So every day I had to metaphorically cradle my tiny little balls and go out and somehow persuade a
Fucking stranger to give me their email

It was hell

But I did it

And was one of the best things I’ve ever done

Works with the opposite sex too

Is anyone attracted to weakness?

I say no

Desperation
Neediness
Attention seeking

^^ all
Huge turn offs

Same in life
Same in business

Confidence kills in all aspects of life

Now, I’m fortunate to be able to work with hundreds and thousands of people – and this confidence issue I see time and time again

So how the fuck do you help someone be confident

Not project
Not ‘fake it till you make it’
Not act

Proper
100%
Internal
Complete
Confidence

How do you help someone own their shit, and become the person they want to be instead of being crippled by their lack of confidence

I think it’s a massively important area and being confident (NOT arrogant – that’s for another discussion) is key to getting ahead in life

Your thoughts?

(Oh and I chose this pic because I look handsome as fuck – and even if I didn’t – I’d act that same way anyways ha. I posted this on my wall a year ago today thought was epic and wanted to share here)
