That is so wrong I almost don't even know where to begin.
That is diametrically apposed to the thinking of almost every successful person on the planet. It also risks damaging peoples self-esteem if they follow that advice.
Nick, go and read biographies on Donnie Deutch, Richard Branson, Winston Churchill, Daley Thompson (worlds greatest ever decathlete), Michael Jordon, Deion Sanders, Gary Player, Lee Iacocca and dozens of others. Almost all of them had confidence that waaaaaaay exceeded their ability at some stage or other. Confidence equals belief in yourself.
