The hook — as said out loud
10 out of 10 uncomfortable things that'll build extreme confidence, but they get progressively more niche.
The script — as said out loud
10 out of 10 uncomfortable things that'll build extreme confidence, but they get progressively more niche. Go 24 hours with zero entertainment. No music, no phone, no scrolling. Just you and your thoughts. Talk to one stranger a day doesn't have to be anything deep. Just engage in a conversation, record yourself talking for 10 minutes, and actually watch it back. Sit alone in a restaurant with no phone to hide behind, and just observe and be present. Say the thing in the room everyone's thinking but won't say. Ask for the discount, the upgrade the favor and let them say no. Give your real opinion about things before you've checked if it's safe to do so or not. And get so comfortable being uncomfortable that fear stops being a reason not to do things.
