The Millionaire Blog

Confidence at any age can help you overcome many obstacles. At 19, I was married and at 20 my oldest daughter was born. At that point in my life I lacked confidence, I didn’t know how I was going to make it, how I was going to raise a family and still reach what little goals I had set for myself. At 21, I joined the United States Marines. That is where I developed the confidence and motivation to succeed.

During my training at Parris Island, SC I accomplished things I thought I never could do. Growing up in Brooklyn, NY I never had the opportunity to handle a rifle and learn to shoot. Yet, I made Rifle Expert in the Marines, shooting a 246 out of a possible 250. Physically I also did things I thought I never could. The mental training and the ability to spend sleepless nights on guard duty gave me strength and confidence.

Yaro Starak at at Entreprenuer’s Journey has written an article that states the value of confidence much more eloquently than me.
