When I look back on all different challenges I’ve been facing and experienced so far in my life. Everything from passing the tests to become a diver in the navy, World Champion in full contact stick fighting, building up companies, running a international organization, teaching tactical units to deal with pressure to just know your place and feeling fulfilled in your life. It all comes back to one very important thing, confidence. To have the confidence and trust in your own commitment to get the result you expect from yourself. We all need it but it’s easier to say then to “sign” isn’t it?
During my years I have worked a lot to understand and apply confidence from within and also coached people to deal with extreme situations and challenges all over the world. I know there’s many people that doesn’t feel confident in different areas of their life or certain situations. Some lack confidence completely in their life, which not really true though but that’s how they feel.
I want to share how I’ve made people confident to deal with their challenges as well as my own. Wherever it’s for a fulfilling feeling in your personal life to deal with a extreme situation during heavy pressure. I will post articles on how to dive with explosives in complete darkness (we all have our time in the darkness here and there) or how to deal with a full board of directors trying to sell an unfinished product at age 23.
We all lose confidence here and there and it’s really important to get back on the horse again. That’s what this page will be about.
Self confidence is the central issue of personal development. GET CONFIDENCE recommends the best ways to enhance the quality of your life, and it is important to us that we find the most effective means for you to tackle this issue of self confidence. We will write and recommend different ways to work with your confidence and deepen your understanding.
“Experience tells you what to do; confidence allows you to do it.”–Stan Smith Here’s a really good product for UNSTOPPABLE CONFIDENCE
Welcome to Get Confidence this is the first post. I’m really exited to get going with this and the funny thing is. I’m not that confident in Blogging so by doing this project I truly believe we can do a journey together sharing our experiences. I know loads of people who’s very well known with the web but on the other hand their social skills are down the drain. We all have potential to develop our weaker sides and get confident about it. This site will deliver many different aspects within the topic “Get Confidence”

Matt Pryor (The New Amsterdams, ex-Get Up Kids) announces his first solo tour that kicks off in Minneapolis on August 6th. The first 13 dates are co-headliner’s with Chris Conley of Saves The Day, followed by headlining dates across the southern and eastern US with Kevin Devine.
normally i don’t get too excited about upcoming shows but this one i am looking forward to because i’ve been a long time fan of The Get Up Kids and Saves The Day. After the Kids broke up, Matt was already in the New Amsterdams and still is. The albums “Story Like A Scar” and “At the Foot of My Rival” are pretty much a staple of my audio diet. I’ll throw in “Killed or Cured” in there as well.
As with life we grow up and he bore the The Terrible Twos project which is songs for kids – I listen to that too.
