However without confidence, you'll most likely falter somewhere along the way...even IF you have the compelling (no brainer) offer, the kick ass talk and the 'tug at the heartstrings' story.' Carl and his guest talk about a number of things, including how to have 'unshakeable confidence/ when it matters the most.
