Why do 74% of people fail to build lasting confidence? They quit during the "boring middle bit" - that brutal stretch where the novelty has worn off but results aren't visible yet.

In this episode of Confidence Unlocked, John M Walsh draws on 27 years of experience working with 34,000 people to reveal exactly what happens during this critical phase - and how to push through when everything tells you to stop.

You'll discover:

  • Why the middle phase feels so difficult (and why that's actually a sign of progress)
  • What's happening in your brain during those repetitions that feel pointless
  • The "evidence log" technique that keeps you going when motivation disappears
  • How Rachel, a project manager, nearly quit at attempt 47 - and what changed
  • Why counting attempts matters more than measuring outcomes
  • The 5 survival strategies used by the 26% who reach high performance

If you've ever started building confidence only to abandon it weeks later, this episode explains exactly why - and gives you the tools to break the pattern.

Based on research into high-performing teams and real client transformations, this isn't motivational fluff. It's the practical psychology of persistence.
