price your services becomesaligned and with your purpose
and your mission, and that isexactly what we're going to

How clarity unlocks yourconfidence.
So let's talk about one of myfavorite stories, the Wizard of
Oz.
If you've watched the movie orread the book, you know the
story of Dorothy, right?
And her three friends, the TinMan, the Scarecrow, and the
Cowardly Lion who all journey tosee the Wizard, each of them

(01:49):
looking for something.
The Tin Man wants a heart, theScarecrow wants a brain, and
Cowardly Lion wants.
Courage, but here's the kicker.
They already had what they werelooking for.
They just didn't know it.
The lion had courage all along.
He just needed to believe in it.
The same is true for us when itcomes to confidence.

(02:10):
Confidence isn't something thatyou find, something that you
build.
It comes from being clear aboutwho you are, what you stand for,
and who you are here to help.
And when you have the clarity.
Confidence follows naturally sowhy does CLARITY unlock
confidence?
Let me break it down.
First.
Clarity simplifies decisionmaking.

(02:31):
When you're clear on your why,everything else falls into
place.
You stop second guessingyourself and wondering if you're
doing it right.
Decisions become easier becauseyou have a clear filter for
what's aligned for your purpose.
For example, instead ofwondering, should I post that on
TikTok or Instagram, clarityhelps you know where your dream
clients are hanging out, andthen you focus your energy there

(02:53):
without wasting time onplatforms that don't serve your
business.
Clarity becomes your compass.
Once you know what you standfor, the direction you're going
becomes clear.
Second, clarity makes yourmessage far more magnetic and
connect.
When you are clear about yourmessage, your audience instantly

(03:14):
knows who you are, how you canhelp, and why they should trust
you.
That is the magic.
of Clarity.
It helps you connect on a deeperlevel.
Think about it this way.
When you walk into a room withabsolute clarity about what you
do and who you help, you justsimply exude a confidence.

(03:37):
People are drawn to that energyand you become magnetic.
Third clarity boosts yourself-belief.
The moment you get clear on whatyou offer, you stop asking
yourself, am I good enough or doI have what it takes?
Instead, you know exactly whatyou bring to the table, and that
belief in yourself grows andgrows.

(04:00):
Confidence is not about beingperfect.
It's about knowing that you areenough just as you are right
now.
When you're clear, you'll stopcomparing yourself to others and
focus on your own magic and yourprogress and your transformation
and your why.
