Be confident of yourself

I recently attended a money management talk conducted by a local author. I always enjoy (especially when it's FREE) going for talks to see what I can learn from the author and also whether the person is suitable to become my business partner.

Of course, at the end of the talk, I did learn one or two things. However, what shocked me was the way the author degraded herself. Since it was a money management talk, I expected the author to be confident of herself that she was on her way to financial freedom.

Instead, she kept on trashing herself that she is poor.

I understand that the initial years of an entrepreneur is tough. You are just scrapping by to pay the bills. However, those who succeed, have a burning desire to fulfill their dream.

This author has big dreams too. However, I found that she contradicted herself by saying that she doesnt have to be rich. Or should I say it's not necessary to be rich. During the talk, I voiced my opinions that I didnt agree to certain things she said.

Anyway, at the end of the talk, I approached her to thank her for the talk. And lo and behold. I could feel that her energy level is SO low as though she has lost her confidence!

Hmmm...how do you achieve big dreams if you dont have energy and confidence?
