Confidence Comes from Courage Part 2

Confidence Comes from Courage Part 2

‍

All right. Yesterday, we broke down the mindset ideas behind how to unlock real confidence, and today it's all about action. Courage isn't just a feeling—it's a practice. If you want to grow your brand, your business, and your belief in yourself, you need to take courage every single day.

So today I want to talk to you in this episode of The Daily Mastermind about real-world strategies to take bold steps, even when fear is screaming out at you.

You're going to learn how to journal your wins, shift your mindset, and build confidence like a muscle. This isn’t just motivational fluff—it’s practical formulas and strategies I’ve used to gain traction fast and stay consistent when everything feels uncertain. So if you’ve been stuck in your head a little bit, today’s definitely going to be a good day for you.

Let’s get into it.

‍

Recap: Courage Comes First

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Yesterday, we talked about the truth behind confidence—how confidence isn’t something you wait to have before you act. It comes after you act.

The myth is that confidence comes first, but the only thing you can really focus on is courage. Courage leads to action, action leads to wins, and wins lead to confidence. That’s the confidence cycle.

I encouraged you to try some courage-based goals yesterday. I hope you did. But now, let’s talk about practical ways to build courage—because it boils down to one thing: taking action.

‍

Building Courage Through Repetition

Let’s talk about what I call courage reps. You know, David Goggins talks about doing hard things every day. Why? Because that leads to confidence and success. What we’re talking about here is no different—daily courage reps.

The more often you step outside your comfort zone, the more repetition you get, the more your confidence will go up. Bottom line.

So I’m doubling down here: take courage, not confidence. Confidence will come later.

For example, post a reel on Instagram—even if you're dealing with imposter syndrome and doubt what people will think. Post it anyway.

Reach out to someone you admire, even if you wonder whether you’re in their league. Ask them to join your mastermind, or be a mentor. Make an offer before you’re ready. Stop over-planning. I know people making six figures with just a Google Doc. It's about taking courageous action, not having everything perfectly built out.

‍

Use a Courage Journal

One of the best ways to build this habit is to journal it. Call it a Courage Journal. What you focus on grows, so when you track your daily bold actions—what I call wins—you train your brain to operate in courage.

Log at least one bold action every day. Just one. I challenge you: take one action outside your comfort zone daily, and you will be building evidence, stacking wins, and gaining momentum.

As Alex Hormozi says, nothing trumps evidence when it comes to building belief in yourself. Confidence comes from seeing that evidence.

Dale Carnegie once said, “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage.” The more action you take, the more courage you have. The more courage you have, the more confidence you gain.

So get formal about it. Use a journal. Log those reps. Stack those wins.

‍

Shift Your Mindset to Sustain Courage

If you want your courage to last, your mindset must evolve. Because let’s be honest—discomfort is the price of growth. And growth doesn’t happen in your comfort zone.

You’ve got to decide to live outside your comfort zone—consistently—not just occasionally. This means shifting your definition of failure.

There are no losses. Only lessons.

It’s like I shared in an earlier episode with my mentor Robert Schuberg: failure is the gateway to success. You either win or you learn. As Nelson Mandela said, “I never lose. I either win or learn.”

When you focus only on results, you magnify what you call failures and erode your own confidence. Instead, focus on effort and action. The wins will come as a byproduct.

‍

Flood Yourself with Certainty

Here’s a concept I got from Ed Mylett: after you commit to a bold decision, flood yourself with certainty.

What does that mean?

Surround yourself with people who inspire you. Put yourself in environments that trigger momentum. Eliminate voices that make you question your decision or water down your belief.

This is crucial because your mindset is not only built by what you do—but also by what you don’t do. Every broken promise to yourself erodes confidence. Tell yourself you’ll hit the gym, then skip it? That’s a crack in your armor. Say you’ll follow through on a business move, then ghost it? Another crack.

Your confidence is either being built or destroyed—by you.

How you do anything is how you do everything. And those micro-moments of discipline matter.

‍

Courage and Confidence in Your Business and Brand

So how does all this talk about courage, action, and confidence apply to your business—specifically to your personal brand?

Simple. Your personal growth is directly proportional to your business growth.

Your personal brand is an extension of your growth journey. Meaning, the level of courage and confidence you operate with directly shapes how your brand is perceived. If you’re growing internally, your brand will reflect that externally. And if you’re shrinking internally, the same effect happens.

Courage shows up before confidence. It’s what drives:

• Marketing yourself when no one knows you yet.
• Selling your offer when your systems aren’t perfect.
• Hiring help before you feel “ready.”
• Investing in your brand without a guaranteed ROI.

These actions require you to lead with boldness. And they create momentum.

‍

Do the Thing, and You Will Have the Power

Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: “Do the thing and you will have the power.” That’s the mantra.

Not “figure it all out first.” Not “wait until you’re polished.” You gain the power after you take the action.

I’ve seen this first-hand with some of my clients. Take Dr. Michael Bennett, a sleep dental expert. He wasn’t confident at first in stepping on stage or being on a podcast. But he had the courage to speak, to publish, to show up. And guess what? That action built his confidence.

And now? He’s become a sought-after authority in his field.

Even top-level entrepreneurs struggle with confidence. I’ve paid some of the biggest names in the world, and many still have to train themselves to act confidently. It’s a muscle they’ve built—not something they were born with.

‍

Build Authority Before You’re Ready

So how does all of this tie back into building a personal brand or becoming the authority in your space?

The truth is, authority is built through repetition, visibility, and courage. That means you have to start showing up before you're ready, before you're confident, before you’re polished.

If you’re trying to create a strong personal brand, you must:

• Be visible before you feel comfortable.
• Publish content before it’s perfect.
• Take action before you feel like an expert.

This is the path every influential entrepreneur has walked. Whether it’s jumping on podcasts, posting online, or selling your offer before every detail is in place, courage is what gets you in the game. Over time, that courage transforms into mastery. And confidence becomes your new baseline.

‍

The Market Rewards Action, Not Perfection

Let this be your guiding principle: the market rewards action-takers, not perfectionists.

Whether you’re building a brand, launching a product, or stepping into leadership, perfection is not the goal. Action is. Every bold step you take—even the imperfect ones—move you closer to becoming the authority in your space.

‍
