Hi,

did you notice that people like Steve Jobs have a super power? They are always confident. Doesn't matter what happens to them, they believe in themselves.

Up to a point, being overconfident is to your advantage. It creates a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy. It boosts your energy and makes your efforts more effective.

The problem is a creator often carves his path in unknown territory. And in that context, remaining confident becomes a challenge.

And yet, some people master this mental skill. How?

I don’t have a complete answer. But I’m studying the bios of great creators and entrepreneurs for this purpose.

Here I focus on the examples of two super confident people: Steve Jobs and Michael Jordan.

The first is probably the one that gave a foundation to the ethos of modern digital entrepreneurs.

And Michael Jordan was not only a great (the greatest?) basketball player, he almost single-handedly made the sneakers a fashion phenomenon.

And they weren’t winners from the start.

How do they master their confidence? I found 3 practices:

• be hopeful,
• don’t accept any unearned sense of guilt,
• prove yourself.
