Show confidence. You know more than most people. Even if you’ve just started, you should have confidence. Confidence you can learn. Confidence in your product. Confidence you can improve. You’re more knowledgeable than you think. 

If you’ve been doing this for a while now, you’re an industry expert. A relative expertise in the field. You may not be the top salesman or top programmer yet, but you know more than the average person. That puts you in the top 10%.

Use that too your advantage. Write with confidence. Speak with confidence. Don’t crumble under pressure. You know the answers. If you don’t, you soon will. Be confident that you know what you’re talking about. You don’t need to know everything. Learn from your mistakes. 

Studying is an important factor. You need to consistently be learning more about your craft. Keep improving. Focus on improving incrementally. Focus on improving everyday.

Practice will help you gain confidence. You’ll be more prepared for questions. More confident you can answer them. More confident in your product. More confidence in yourself. 

Get feedback from others. Ask what areas they think you should improve upon. Act on what they say. 

You become more confident through continuous learning, practice, feedback, and studying. You can do more than you think. You know more than you think. Be confident in yourself.

“All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.”                                                  -Mark Twain
