Additionally, they discussed an upcoming event in Tampa Bay, Indomitable Events.com, which is for young and middle-aged entrepreneurs and professionals looking to take their mindset to the next level. Jacob and Jon also discussed the importance of making an impact and helping people, the power of authenticity in leadership, and Jacob's experience of helping a family in need. Finally, they discussed the six pillars of confidence, the importance of setting goals in the right way, and the power of taking ownership of one's life.Episode Outline:(00:05:57) Mindset Training(00:11:51) Empowering Others(00:17:43) Authentic Leadership(00:48:05) Take Imperfect Action(00:30:51) Developing Confidence(00:24:16) Building Confidence(00:00:01) Reactive vs Proactive(00:36:08) Confidence Building(00:41:35) Internal Locus of ControlQuotes:(00:17:25) And so trying to keep that up and keep up that facade is exhausting. And so, once you acknowledge that you do need help, it's a very powerful thing. And people appreciate that because it brings a level of authenticity for you. People can trust you because you're not acting like someone that's all perfect. They understand that you bleed, too,(00:48:11) Take action. The last chapter of my book, fuck Someday, is titled time to Take imperfect Action. So if it's something that you've been thinking about doing, something that you feel would be fulfilling, something that's part of your purpose, get started on it today and you're going to make mistakes. But imperfect action is going to trump the perfect, best late plan in your head any day of the week.(00:28:00) Confidence is credibility with yourself. And so setting your goals the right way so that they're moderately challenging, so that you're moving the needle but not making them too challenging to the point where you're falling short and feeling like you fail all the time, it's finding that moderate middle ground. It's extremely important in terms of how you set things up.(00:04:06) It's better to be a warrior in the garden than a gardener in the war.(00:20:36) And so to be able to understand the mental processes behind that, that's going to give you more control. That's tools that you can have regardless of what avenue in life whether you're going to be a psychologist or, like I said, a businessman or a personal trainer or a firefighter, I mean, there's psychology in everything that you can use to help yourself and to help other people.(00:36:36) It's the behaviors and the habits that you have to do and just consistently enough and like I said, with confidence. You do these things day in and day out. You feel you have credibility with yourself and confidence, just like interest is going to compound and you start to see, if I did this, maybe I can do this and it just snowballs.(00:10:00) My argument for that is that it's just the opposite. Not giving other people the best version of yourself. That's the selfish part.(00:42:52) But by looking at it and saying, hey, what could I have done differently in vetting that partner, in making these decisions and doing these things, that's the only way I could affect change for us.(00:33:26) But if we think to ourselves like, okay, well, if someone is treating me that way, is that a happy person? And then we realize the whole idea that hurts people, hurts people. And then you go from a point of being angry and upset and wanting to wish for that person to be hit by a bus to having empathy for that person.Blog Post:It's no secret that having the right habits in place is essential to achieving your goals. We all know that it's important to take action and to have an internal locus of control, but how do you actually cultivate the confidence and success you desire?

The conversation then shifted to Jacob's experience of helping a family in need. Trey, the person heading up the project, told Jacob that he couldn't buy a table for the family because it would not teach a lesson and he was not there to be the savior. Trey gave Jacob a book called When Helping Hurts to help him understand the situation better. Jacob and the family's fourth grader, along with his two brothers, mowed lawns to earn money to build a table for the family. Jacob noticed ...
