Do It Scared: How to Build Confidence & Create Opportunities | Elissa Kosho|E57

What if confidence doesn’t come before action — but because of it? In this episode of the **Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast**, Daniel Wood sits down with Swedish entrepreneur, public speaker, model, and social-media personality **Elissa Kosho** to talk about courage, personal branding, relationships, and creating your own opportunities. At just 15 years old, Elissa found herself being interviewed inside a TV studio. Instead of simply leaving afterward, she told the team she could create her own show — and asked for the keys. That decision helped launch a journey into television, public speaking, international modeling, entrepreneurship, coaching, and social media. Elissa’s approach to confidence is simple: **Do it scared.** She believes confidence grows through action. You take the step, gain experience, and gradually build proof that you can handle things that once intimidated you. Daniel and Elissa also discuss how she used her television show to build relationships with successful people, how those connections supported her speaking career, and why attracting the **right followers** matters more than chasing the biggest follower count. In this episode: - How Elissa got her own TV show at 15 - Why action builds confidence - How to move forward while still feeling fear - Building relationships before you need them - Using your network to create opportunities - Why the right audience matters more than follower count - Building an authentic personal brand - Understanding what your audience responds to - Getting clear on where you are and where you want to go Sometimes you don’t need more preparation. You need to take the first step. **Do it scared.** Action Taker Bonus Claim your free ticket to the upcoming **Freedom Shift Summit** featuring speakers including Les Brown, Nick Vujicic, Jack Canfield, Brian Tracy, Jay Abraham, John Gray, Dr. John Demartini, Mark Victor Hansen, John Assaraf, and many more. **Free ticket:** swedishwealthinstitute.com/events Connect With Elissa **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/elissa.kosho/?hl=en **TikTok:** https://www.tiktok.com/@elissa.kosho ✨ **Enjoyed this episode?** Don’t forget to subscribe to *T*he Swedish Wealth Institute Podcast** so you never miss new conversations with world-class entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers. 👉 **Join the SWI community:** www.swedishwealthinstitute.com 👉 **Follow Daniel Wood on social media:** Instagram | Linkedin | Facebook 👉 **Follow SWI on social media:** Instagram | Linkedin | Facebook ⭐ If this episode inspired you, please rate and review the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it helps us reach more people on the journey to wealth, freedom, and impact.
