She’s going to prove you wrong.”Tips and takeaways:You can do anything you put your mind toStart where you are and keep goingEven if you failed, you’re a little bit closer: ask what you can learn from itBelieve in yourself even when no one else doesConfidence leads to other things and expands into other areas of your life (better choices in business and personal life)Write down three tiny action steps you can take today to build your confidenceAsk yourself daily “What did I do to help somebody?”About Lourdes Aviñó:Lourdes Aviñó is the CEO and Co-Founder of YTeach, a peer-to-peer tutoring and scheduling app that helps schools create a network for learning and empowers students to schedule lessons with other peer tutors at their school with the click of a button.
