Many people need to become more confident, do you? Low self-esteem and a lack of confidence result in overthinking, poor decision-making, and a lack of positive action which produces minimal results.

According to statistics, most people need help to become more confident.

Statistics related to confidence

Eighty-five percent of people lack self-esteem, men and women. If you lack self-esteem, you will likely have lower self-worth and less confidence.

Some additional statistics related to confidence are:

• 85% of women do not believe they are attractive.
• 62% of women do not believe they are intelligent.
• 50% of women do not think they are liked by others.
• 2/3 of women aren't confident in their ability to do their job.

These stats aren't exclusive to women, men struggle with confidence too. In fact, 55% don't think they are liked and 60% don't believe they can do their job.

Lucy added the stats about when people apply for jobs. When men are 60% ready, they will go apply for jobs. But women won't apply for a job unless they are 100% sure they meet every requirement the job description specifies. This also applies to entrepreneurship. Lucy emphasized that being ready is a decision.
