4 Simple Ways To Be More Confident In Yourself

Confidence is an important quality that can help you achieve your goals and live a happier, more fulfilling life. But for many people, feeling confident can be a challenge. If you’re looking to boost your self-confidence, here are five ways to get started:

1 . Set realistic goals and challenge yourself.

Confidence comes from feeling capable and competent, so setting goals that are challenging but achievable can help you build your confidence.

2. Practice self-care.

Taking care of your physical and mental health is essential for feeling good about yourself. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, eating well, and engaging in activities that help you relax and de-stress.

3. Surround yourself with positive people.

The people you spend time with can have a big impact on your confidence. Surround yourself with supportive, encouraging people who believe in you and your abilities.

4. Learn to accept compliments.

When someone pays you a compliment, it’s natural to want to downplay it or brush it off. But accepting compliments gracefully can help boost your confidence. Instead of brushing it off, try saying “thank you” and really believing that you deserve the compliment.

5. Focus on the positive.

Negative thoughts and self-doubt can be confidence-killers. Instead of dwelling on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths and the things you’re good at. By focusing on the positive, you can boost your confidence and feel better about yourself.

Confidence is an important quality that can help you achieve your goals and live a happier, more fulfilling life. By setting realistic goals, practicing self-care, surrounding yourself with positive people, accepting compliments, and focusing on the positive, you can boost your confidence and feel good about yourself.

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
