Everyone wants more self confidence, but what if the real key is understanding that it's already inside you? Most of us look outside ourselves for courage or compare our journeys with others—often missing the quiet power we already possess.
Self confidence is more than a nice-to-have feeling; it’s the fuel for every victory you’ll claim as an entrepreneur. Without it, indecision, doubt, and fear can quietly sabotage your biggest goals before you ever start.
In this episode, Donna and Londina dig into why self confidence is a habit you can build, not just a trait you’re born with.
What You Need to Know
- Self confidence is an inner habit, not something granted from others.
- Each of us faces classic fears: criticism, failure, poverty, ill health, and more. These are often invisible—what Napoleon Hill described as the “ghosts of fear”—but they shape every decision.
- The real enemy of self confidence is not a lack of ability, but giving in to indecision and doubt. When those combine, fear takes over.
- Success comes from taking an honest inventory of your fears and flipping your mind’s battery from negative to positive, activating the law of attraction in your life and business.
What You Need to Do
- Identify your version of the classic fears (like fear of criticism) and notice where indecision or doubt might be holding you back.
- Practice self reflection: Are you searching for confidence by comparing yourself to others, or are you tapping into your own inner strength?
- Start catching yourself in the act of negative thinking—then consciously switch the narrative to something more empowering.

She is an internationally recognized Business Coach and Trainer bringing 20+ years’ experience in military leadership. Donna has been a serial entrepreneur for the last 25 years owning a range of businesses experiencing the unique challenges solopreneurs face with small business growth.
In addition to her entrepreneurial background, Donna brings 35 years of academic and applied cognitive and behavioral science experience to the IBGR Network. Her specialty is helping organizations navigate through change, challenge and tragedy. The combination of her intensive study of the mind, plus practical applications in human potential, Donna provides a unique perspective on leadership, personal growth, sales, communication, and team building.
A high point of Donna's training career happened when she accompanied Dr. John C. Maxwell and his team on a country transformation mission. At the request of the Costa Rican government, the Maxwell team successfully trained 15,000 Round Table facilitators in three days, resulting in a 2% transformation of that nation and projected to reach another 60,000 Costa Ricans the following week. Her trademark energetic communication style and teaching skills have earned her a reputation as a highly effective speaker and respected facilitator.
Londina Cruz is an International Trainer, Executive Coach, and Keynote Speaker with the John Maxwell Team and a Strategic Coach with Anthony Robbins. Londina is a part of Global Transformation with the John Maxwell Foundation, training thousands of leaders in Paraguay and Costa Rica to help transform the values and culture of these nations.
She has spent more than 25 years studying, coaching and consulting in personal mastery and human performance techniques. These techniques include emotional and social intelligence trainings that elevate individuals, leaders and their organizations to excel well beyond current standards – offering a dynamic competitive advantage.
Londina has taken a situation that would devastate most individuals, being hit by a drunk driver, and has turned it into her life force. In this accident, Londina sustained a traumatic head injury, broken back and broken neck. The doctors gave her little hope of a normal life. She has now turned this challenge into an extraordinary life of empowering others to turn their fears into freedom and reach their potential.
Mastering her limiting beliefs and overcoming all that doctors had told her, Londina has thrived physically as well.
She has become a Triathlete (competing in a Half-Ironman and medaling in numerous other triathlons), a two-time marathon runner (Nike Women’s in San Francisco and the Marine Corps in Washington), and a cyclist.
She has released 100 lbs. by taking control of her thoughts instead of allowing thoughts to control her.
She knows what it takes to take you and your team from where you are to where you want to be.
