Confidence in business doesn’t come overnight. For many of us, it’s forged through trials, self-doubt, small wins, and a community that lifts you up. Today, I want to share my journey to confidence and practical tips to help you build yours.

Because this is not just about me, this is about us, together.

My Story: From Self-Doubt to Self-Belief

When I launched my first business, I was filled with fear:

  • Fear of failing

  • Fear of being judged

  • Fear that I didn’t belong

I made so many mistakes. I compared myself to others. I questioned whether I could sustain success.

But slowly, very slowly, I began to find small reminders that I could do this:

  • A customer praised me

  • A peer said “you’ve got this”

  • I realized I solved problems that people needed help with

Over time, those small affirmations stacked up. I started to see that my voice mattered. My message mattered. And so did I.

That shift, learning to trust myself, became the foundation for the UEW Mentorship & Community. I wanted to create a space where women don’t just learn business skills, but build inner strength together.

Why Confidence Matters in Business

Confidence is more than a “feel-good” trait. It influences:

  • Decisions you make (pricing, hiring, investing)

  • How others see you, clients, partners, and peers

  • Your resilience when things go wrong

A confident woman in business is not fragile, she’s anchored in purpose, prepared for mistakes, and open to growth.

5 Practical Tips I Use (and Teach) to Build Confidence

Here are the tools I wish I had when I started, and what I now guide members to use:

Tip

How to Apply It

Why It Works

1. Track small wins daily

Write 3 achievements each evening.

You’ll build evidence of progress instead of focusing solely on gaps.

2. Surround yourself with believers

Join supportive groups, attend mastermind sessions.

You absorb belief and encouragement, even on days you doubt.

3. Speak your vision out loud

Share your goals with friends, record yourself speaking your mission.

Voice gives power to vision; your subconscious starts working for you.

4. Take imperfect action

Launch with version 1.0. Adjust as you go.

Waiting for perfection delays everything. Progress is better.

5. Reframe “failures” as lessons

After each setback, ask: “What did this teach me?”

Changes fear of failure into curiosity and growth.
