Confidence is key to getting what you want in business and life.

It's a way of being that takes practice, dedication and perseverance. It's not something you're born with, it's a learned skill.

There are a million little things that contribute to a confident way of being. Most of these things aren't even noticed by the majority of people. If someone is creepy, close talks or is inauthentic, no one tells them. It's something we all have to discover ourselves through our own feedback.

Exploring this subject is crucially important to achieving greatness.

That's why I'm bringing on confidence expert and the man behind The Art of Charm to the show. Welcome to episode 73 of the School of Greatness with Jordan Harbinger.
