Lisa Bilyeu co-founded Quest Nutrition and is the president of Impact Theory Studios.
She has created a slate of content that's been viewed over half a billion times.
Lisa spends her days having real uncensored conversations with the most inspiring women.
She has written her first book called Radical Confidence: 10 No BS Lessons on Becoming the Hero of Your Own Life.
The book is about the idea that you don't have to feel confident to show up and do big things, but rather doing those things builds confidence.
The idea that you have to be confident before doing big things is a myth.
Building confidence requires doing things that scare you.
Building competence leads to confidence.
Excuses can sometimes be real, but they can also hold us back from achieving our dreams.
Your dreams are a gamble, so bet on yourself.
Make a choice to prioritize your dreams and make time for them.
Building confidence requires doing things that scare you.
Start small and build up to bigger things.
Take action even if you don't feel confident.
Don't wait for confidence to show up, create it by taking action.
Confidence is not about being perfect, but rather about being willing to make mistakes and learn from them.
Building Confidence
Confidence is like a muscle that can be trained.
Confidence comes as a byproduct of doing things, falling, learning, and becoming competent.
People want to feel great about themselves before trying something, but perspective is everything.
Instead of focusing on confidence, focus on the end goal and create a plan to get there.
Radical confidence is about how to achieve the dream and the life you want.
Blueprint for Confidence
It has to be a blueprint, not just telling someone to do it anyway.
For example, if someone wants to lose weight, they need to take small steps like putting their shoes by the bed and patting themselves on the back for doing it.
Building competence leads to confidence.
People think they can solve how they feel without building a skill, but that's not true.
Parents can help their kids build competence and confidence by forcing them to do things like public speaking or drama school.
Shifting Perspective on Confidence
Confidence is about feeling great about yourself before starting something.
Radical confidence is about how to achieve the dream and the life you want.
It's not easy, and it's about moving forward even when scared or fearful.
It's not just about standing a certain way or doing certain things, but a deeper sense of confidence.
Shifting perspective from focusing on confidence to focusing on the end goal and creating a plan to get there.
Building Competence for Confidence
Building competence leads to confidence.
For example, Lisa was petrified of getting on stage, but her goal was impact, so she had to build competence to achieve it.
Tom, her husband, pointed out that her actions weren't aligned with what she said she wanted in life.
She recognized that getting on stage would solve her mission, but she didn't know how to build competence when she felt so badly.
Building competence can be achieved by taking small steps and patting yourself on the back for doing it.
Overcoming Fear and Building Confidence
As adults, we often get in our own heads and don't give ourselves the grace to go through a training period.
When it comes to public speaking, think about incremental steps to get there.
Wanting something is not enough to actually get people to act on their dreams.
Lisa's book, "Radical Confidence," provides 10 no BS lessons on becoming the hero of your own life.
Doing big things builds confidence, rather than feeling confident to show up.
Stop Making Excuses
Excuses can sometimes be real, but they can also hold us back from achieving our dreams.
Writing down reasons why you're not making the moves you want to can help you identify excuses.
Ask yourself if your reasons are valid or just excuses.
Don't judge yourself for making excuses.
Excuses can come from a lack of time, money, or other resources.
Bet on Yourself and Take Action
Your dreams are a gamble, so bet on yourself.
Make a decision to pursue your dreams, even if it means taking a risk.
Don't wait for the perfect moment to take action.
Start small and take incremental steps towards your goal.
Don't let fear hold you back from taking action.
Choose Your Priorities and Make Time for Your Dreams
Excuses can also come from prioritizing other things over your dreams.
Make a choice to prioritize your dreams and make time for them.
Don't let household chores or other responsibilities hold you back.
Communicate with your partner or family about your priorities.
Removing excuses can lead to unexpected solutions, like not doing laundry for a while.
Removing Excuses
Excuses can be real, but they can still be an excuse.
Don't let excuses get in the way of your dreams and goals.
Focus on doing small things towards your big dream.
Realize when your excuse is based on a season and accept it.
Define the word "excuse" to propel yourself forward.
Make Up Your Mindset
Adopt the mindset that you can get good at anything.
Don't judge yourself when you're losing or winning.
Own your growth and celebrate your progress.
Don't be afraid to admit when you don't know something.
Build your self-esteem around being the person who can figure things out.
Building Radical Confidence
Confidence is built by doing big things, not by feeling confident first.
Don't wait for confidence to show up before taking action.
Take small steps towards your big goals to build confidence.
Believe in yourself and bet on yourself.
Don't let fear hold you back from taking action.
Embracing Failure
Failure is a necessary part of growth and success.
Don't be afraid to fail and learn from your mistakes.
Embrace failure as a learning opportunity.
Don't let fear of failure hold you back from taking risks.
Use failure as a stepping stone towards success.
Believing in Yourself
Believing in yourself is key to achieving your dreams.
It's important to understand that some things may take time, but if you believe you can do it, you can take the necessary steps forward.
Many people will try to tell you what you can't do, but you have to believe in yourself and your abilities.
It's easy to get influenced by the outside world, but you have to trust that you know how to figure things out.
Don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying.
Practical Example
A practical example of this mindset is when Lisa had to get Quest bars to Justin Bieber in Dubai within 24-48 hours.
Everyone said it was impossible, but Lisa refused to take no for an answer.
She didn't know what she was doing, but she kept asking questions and figuring it out.
She held onto the belief that no one would fight for her dream more than she would.
She eventually figured it out and got the bars to Justin Bieber's hotel in time.
Experimentation
Experimentation is key to learning and growing.
Don't be afraid to try new things and make mistakes.
Trying things quickly and learning from them is better than taking small steps over a long period of time.
Fear of imperfection can stop many people from trying, but it's important to embrace the identity of being a learner.
Don't let the fear of failure stop you from taking action.
Conclusion
Believing in yourself, practical examples, and experimentation are all important in achieving your dreams.
Don't let fear stop you from trying new things and taking action.
Embrace the identity of being a learner and keep pushing forward.
Remember that no one will fight for your dream more than you will.
Take inspiration from Lisa's practical examples and apply them to your own life.
