The Unshakable Performance: Building Belief in Yourself

"Confidence is simply trusting yourself."

This isn't just a clever turn of phrase; it's the bedrock upon which all high performance is built. We often chase external validation, seeking approval from others, but true success stems from an unshakeable belief in our own abilities.

Think about it. When you truly trust yourself, fear of failure fades. Doubt diminishes. You become a force of nature, driven by an inner compass rather than the fickle winds of external opinion.

But how do we cultivate this unwavering self-trust?

It's a journey, not a destination. Here are a few crucial steps:

1. Acknowledge Your Belief-Building Mechanisms:

  • Significant Emotional Events: These are the defining moments – triumphs and setbacks – that shape our core beliefs. Did you overcome a major obstacle? Did you experience profound disappointment? These events, laden with emotion, leave lasting imprints on our psyche.
  • The Power of Models: We learn by observing. The people we admire, the leaders we respect – they become models, shaping our beliefs about what's possible.
  • The Words We Whisper: Our inner dialogue is powerful. The words we repeat to ourselves – "I can't," "I'm not good enough" – become self-fulfilling prophecies.

2. Cultivate a Culture of Trust:

  • Micro-Commitments Matter: Consistency is key. Small, daily commitments – drinking more water, waking up earlier – build trust in your ability to follow through.
  • Collect Evidence of Your Wins: Keep a "focus folder" of achievements, positive feedback, and inspiring quotes. This tangible evidence reinforces your belief in your capabilities.
  • Reframe Your Narrative: Challenge negative self-talk. Replace "I can't" with "I will find a way." Reframe setbacks as learning opportunities.

3. Surround Yourself with Believers:

Our environment profoundly influences our beliefs. Surround yourself with people who inspire and support you. Engage in conversations that uplift and challenge you.

Building unshakeable belief is an ongoing process. It requires consistent effort, self-reflection, and a commitment to personal growth. But the rewards are immeasurable. When you truly trust yourself, you unleash your full potential and become the architect of your own destiny.

What are you doing today to strengthen your belief in yourself?

Harnessing Resilience: Champion Mindset Collective with Anthony Dahya

 I recently had the privilege of joining Anthony Dahya on the Champion Mindset Collective Podcast to get deep into the journey that led to the creation of the Momentum & Mastery and the Unshakeable Framework. This conversation was a powerful reminder that resilience, clarity, and purpose can transform uncertainty into unstoppable progress. The Power of Personal Development in Professional Growth As I shared during the podcast, the foundation of my work in coaching, writing, and speaking has been built upon personal development. My journey has been shaped by a host of challenges—from battling physical issues like epilepsy to navigating divorce and family struggles. These experiences led me to a core belief: business growth is inherently tied to personal growth. Businesses don't grow; people do. Over two decades, I have honed the Unshakeable Framework to help leaders turn adversity into opportunity. This journey has been driven by a relentless pursuit of resilience, which I def...

The Dark Side of Momentum: Why Disturbance Drives Success - Spencer Uncensored ep 85

Warning: This post contains explicit language. Good evening, Mavericks and Momentum Makers. You’re here because you’re not satisfied with average, and neither am I. This is Spencer Uncensored, Episode 85. If you're just joining us, buckle up. We’ve had 84 conversations before this about how to build momentum, boost mastery, and tap into the deeper levels of productivity, profitability, and purpose that most people only dream about. ​ Let’s get one thing straight: Businesses don’t grow—people do. The money, the success, the accolades—they all come on the backside of personal development. Why? Because over the last 20 years of working with business leaders, I’ve seen it over and over again: You don’t level up your business without leveling up yourself. If you’re new around here, welcome. And if you’ve been with me for a while, thanks for coming back. Let’s dive in. We recently wrapped up the Unshakeable Weekend Event—a three-day immersion where people changed their trajectories or cr...

Moving Beyond the Drift: Insights from the Evolve and Elevate Show

I recently joined Erica Bishop on her Evolve and Elevate podcast , where we explored the question that sits at the core of any meaningful journey: how do we move beyond the drift? Drifting isn’t laziness; it’s a natural tendency to fall back on routines and the familiar, but it’s also a trap. As we discussed, real progress—the kind that transforms careers, relationships, and lives—requires more than just wishful thinking. It demands movement. Our conversation centered on a framework I developed, a simple yet powerful structure to unlock momentum: Dream, Desire, Disturbance, and Decision . Each part is essential to creating true, unshakable progress. Here’s what that looks like: Dream Beyond the Drift On the show, we talked about how dreaming isn’t about daydreams or fantasies. It’s about envisioning a life that stretches the limits of our current reality. What would a fully aligned, purpose-driven life look like for you? When you allow yourself to dream big, you begin to expand the bo...
