FOREWORD
My name is Thomas A. Brown, also known as Tommy Danger - The Now and Laterman. I’m an aspiring triathlete, a goal that requires a fair amount of self-confidence. I’m also the Director of Finance for an Ivy League University, a position of trust and responsibility, which also requires confidence.
It’s possible you’ve heard my name mentioned as a motivational speaker, or as an entertainment industry entrepreneur. Those activities require confidence as well.
My first book was entitled Motivation and Confidence. In this book, I’ve delved more deeply into the concept of Confidence; where it comes from, how to build and strengthen it, and how it can sometimes be shaken or lost along the way. I’ve also shown how bullying, even as far back as childhood, can impede confidence, even as you grow into adulthood. And then, I’ve provided you with simple ways to rebuild your confidence.
If you’ve ever struggled to speak up for yourself, then this book is for you. If you’ve sometimes found it challenging to exercise authority over your own life, this book is also for you. If you want to upgrade your confidence level in order to improve your professional life, this book is for you as well.
I’ve not written this book in a wordy, scholarly format. I’ve not filled it with studies conducted by Ivy League professors. Nor have I written it for use by a corporate sponsor.
Instead, I’ve simply written this book, telling you a little bit about my own life along the way, to help you build and improve your own confidence. Because if I can do it, you can do it too.
Tom Danger
Low self-confidence isn't a life sentence. Self-confidence can be learned, practiced, and mastered--just like any other skill. Once you master it, everything in your life will change for the better.
- Barrie Davenport
What you will gain from this book:
There are thousands of books in the self-help category. What makes this one different?
This book was written from the perspective of a little kid from a broken home who grew up in one of the worst neighborhoods in Harlem, struggled with a speech impediment, a weight problem, suffered from a painful skin condition on his face and hands, a kid whose clothing was constantly ridiculed, who never managed to fit in, was mercilessly bullied, then withdrew into his shell, having lost all of his self-confidence.
And then… managed to figure out how to turn his life around.
I was that little kid. This story in this book tells you how I managed to become both personally and professionally confident and successful at what I do, regardless of what kind of setting I found myself in. I learned how to turn my weaknesses into strengths, and I have done this repeatedly throughout the remainder of my childhood and then my adult life. I will show you how you can do the same thing.
There are certain areas of my books to which young African American males in particular may strongly relate, but the lessons I share are not limited to either a single demographic or to a specific gender. Girls are not immune to these problems.
I have witnessed young people struggle with confidence due to peer pressure.
I’ve seen adults who are professionals struggle to find the confidence required to improve daily work routines and/or move forward in their careers. I speak from experience when I tell you that I have struggled with both. Building your confidence is a never-ending and evolving state which requires internal and external tools to be effectively applied. Eventually what you do to grow and maintain your confidence will simply become automatic.
You will gain from this book what you choose to apply, based on personal practice and implementation.
Are you the type of person who sometimes struggles to relate when introduced to new people? Have you ever felt overly shy? Do you sometimes wish you could just run and hide rather than have to speak in front of a small or large group of people? Do you sometimes find yourself struggling to find a better way to communicate with your boss or other figures of authority? Do you occasionally feel as if you’ll never fit in, no matter what your surroundings are? If you answered yes to any of these questions then this book will help provide you with the tools to be a better you. More importantly, thirty days should be more than sufficient for you to begin to see positive results.
The goal of this book is to build up your confidence. It doesn’t really matter what stage of life you’re in, because there is always room for improvement. If you are young, attempting to achieve the level of confidence needed for the adult you plan to become, I will show you though my own past experiences how to do that.
If you are a mid-level manager in your career and are looking to get to the next level I can also tell you how to do that, based on my own past experiences. If you are looking to build up your self-confidence so that you can feel powerful, knowledgeable and project authority when you step into a room, speak in front of a group of people or talk on the phone, I can tell you how to do that as well, once again, based on my own past experiences.
As a child, most of my lack of confidence came from being told by others who were either mean-spirited or failed to understand the damage
