Don't Quote Me: Proceed With Confidence

"Proceed with Confidence"

~Brent Trotter (Hey! That's me!)

At this particular moment, it's the only advice I would give anyone. I mean well, it applies to everything. It can't do you any harm to be confident, and in my own personal experience, it pays dividends.

I recently Googled the phrase to see if I had "coined" it.
("Google" is officially a verb by the way: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Google)

Turns out, there's a book called Proceed with Confidence by A. Ray Dalton, a "serial entrepreneur".

Hmmm, sound like anybody you know?

Well, suffice to say he's proof that there's substance in what I'm saying. Think about it.

Many of the people we look up to, envy or have adoration for in the entertainment world, (Like Kanye West, Beyonce, Brad Pitt or Kobe Bryant) the corporate world, (Donald Trump or Steve Jobs) and even people we just have respect for in our relate-able world all exude CONFIDENCE.

I think it's something you should work on attaining and projecting it. :)

Just remember, there is a thin line between Confidence and Cockiness. Find it and try to keep your balance.
