Our Achiever of the Day is "America's Coach," Michael Burt. He was a former championship basketball coach blessed with understanding the inner workings of people and how to get them to produce at a higher level. He is now coaching salespeople, business owners, and entrepreneurs and speaks at some of the largest stages in the world.

Today, he will guide us on how to be confident individuals. Confidence is a major key to a person's success, but many interchanges it with arrogance. That's what separates successful people from those who are not: they are confident about themselves but humble enough to recognize that they need help.
