The Importance of Evidence-Based Confidence

Reading Time: 1 min read

1. Confidence comes from evidence, not building confidence. Blindly attempting to boost confidence is futile, as it's based on a misconception.
2. Without evidence, confidence is a delusion. It's merely pretending to be something you're not.
3. Define your confidence metric. Just as statistics uses a percentage likelihood, identify what metric you're using to gauge your confidence.
4. Increase the likelihood of success by gathering evidence. Focus on building a strong foundation of facts and data to support your claims.

These takeaways emphasize the importance of basing confidence on factual evidence rather than arbitrary self-perception or wishful thinking.
