How to Stay Confident No Matter What Happens with the Economy with Mark Butler
What if your confidence in business didn’t depend on the economy at all—but instead on the things you can actually control?
We’re constantly told to watch the market, follow influencers, and brace for uncertainty. But what if real stability comes from within—from your character, your skills, and your relationships?
In this episode of Success Genius, I sit down with Mark Butler to unpack how to shift from “external referencing” (looking outside for validation) to “internal referencing” (building strength you can rely on no matter what).
We explore the hidden entitlement many of us carry in business, why comfort and needs aren’t the same thing, and how nurturing your network might be the greatest form of financial security you have.
If you’ve ever felt rattled by economic changes, this conversation will remind you where true confidence is built—inside, where you actually have control.
Topics covered in this episode include:
- Why confidence rooted in internal referencing is more reliable than chasing external validation
- The three pillars you can actually control—character, skills, and relationships
- How entitlement around income and comfort can quietly undermine your business
- Practical ways to prepare for economic uncertainty without losing stability
If you’ve ever worried about what the economy means for your business, or found yourself seeking reassurance from influencers instead of trusting your own answers, this episode will ground you.
Tune in for a refreshing perspective that helps you build unshakable confidence—no matter what’s happening out there.
