Er is dus nog een tweede belangrijke component voor het opbouwen van successen en dus je zelfvertrouwen, naast actie nemen… En het is iets dat we naar mijn gevoel te vaak over het hoofd zien ondanks het feit dat het veel makkelijker is dan actie nemen. We kunnen het immers vanuit onze luie zetel (Optie A) 😇.
