6 Powerful Habits of the Most Incredibly Confident People

Confidence is an essential quality that can have a huge impact on our lives. It influences how we interact with others, how we approach new challenges, and how we navigate difficult situations. While some people seem to be naturally confident, it’s a quality that can be cultivated and developed over time. Here are a few habits that the most confident people tend to have:

  1. They set clear goals and take action to achieve them. Confident people tend to be proactive and have a clear vision of what they want to achieve. They set specific, measurable goals and take action to work towards them. This helps to build their confidence as they see themselves making progress and achieving their goals.
  2. They learn from their mistakes. Confidence doesn’t mean never making mistakes. In fact, confident people are often willing to take risks and try new things, which means they may encounter failures along the way. But instead of dwelling on their mistakes, they learn from them and use them as opportunities for growth and improvement.
  3. They communicate effectively. Confident people tend to be good communicators. They listen actively and speak clearly and confidently. They know how to effectively convey their ideas and thoughts, and they’re not afraid to ask for what they want or need.
  4. They take care of themselves physically and mentally. Confidence is closely tied to self-care. Confident people make time for regular exercise, eat a healthy diet, and prioritize rest and relaxation. They also practice self-care techniques like meditation or journaling to manage stress and maintain a positive outlook.
  5. They surround themselves with positive influences. Confident people tend to surround themselves with supportive, positive influences. They seek out relationships with people who uplift and encourage them, and they avoid negative influences that can bring them down.
  6. They practice gratitude. Confidence is often rooted in a positive outlook and gratitude. Confident people make a habit of regularly expressing gratitude for the good things in their lives. This helps to foster a positive mindset and build confidence.

By cultivating these habits, you can start to develop more confidence in your own life. Remember, confidence is not about never feeling doubts or fears – it’s about learning to navigate those emotions and take action despite them. With time and practice, you can become more confident and capable of tackling new challenges and achieving your goals.

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.
