How to Reclaim Your Confidence and Live Your Best Life!

Geoff interviews confidence coach Nada Nasserdeen on why most professionals struggle with self-confidence and how to break the beliefs that limit performance. The episode covers her Four Bs framework for diagnosing and dismantling confidence-crushing beliefs. Best for LOs who feel hesitant on camera, in front of agents, or when self-promoting.

Takeaways you can run this week

• Run the Four Bs exercise on one specific confidence block this week: write down the Belief holding you back, trace its Backstory, identify the exact negative Behavior it causes, then write one concrete action to Break it.
• When you feel imposter syndrome before a sales call or agent meeting, spend 20 minutes doing targeted research on one relevant topic (e.g., current rate trends, local inventory stats) so you can answer questions off the cuff — this builds micro-confidence fast.
• To overcome camera reluctance: before hitting record, mentally replace 'I'm making a video' with 'I'm adding value to one specific person right now.' Publish without re-recording — Nasserdeen explicitly leaves verbal stumbles in her own videos.
• Ask yourself: 'If my title, income, and production numbers were stripped away, who am I?' If you can't answer, spend 10 minutes journaling on 3 identity traits that are not role-based (e.g., resilient, trustworthy, growth-minded) — these become your confidence foundation.
• Distinguish macro-confidence (belief you can learn anything) from micro-confidence (skill-specific). Audit which type is missing before a high-stakes conversation — macro gaps need mindset work; micro gaps need preparation and research.

The playbook

1. Step 1 — Belief: Identify the specific belief blocking your success (e.g., 'I'm not credible enough to teach agents').
2. Step 2 — Backstory: Trace where that belief originated — childhood, a past failure, a critical manager, a lost deal.
3. Step 3 — Behavior: Name the exact behavior the belief is causing (e.g., not posting videos, avoiding agent outreach, under-preparing for presentations).
4. Step 4 — Break it: Write one immediate action that contradicts the belief and shifts the behavior forward; repeat consistently until the belief loses its grip.

Worth quoting

“Let fear get in the car. But don't let fear take the wheel.”

“It's not about perfection, it's about progress.”

Best for

LOs who are competent in their craft but hold back on video, self-promotion, or agent outreach because of self-doubt or fear of judgment.
