Action before confidence

- What comes first, confidence or action? This is something that many of us get wrong. Research consistently shows that it's action that often leads to more confidence, not the other way around. It's the actions we take that build our skills, our competence, which boost our self-efficacy or self-belief, and that fuels our confidence to propel us to take more action. So if you're waiting to feel confident before you act, remember the confidence you seek is built by the very steps you are about to take.
