Indeed
that's why it's called
self help and looking outside for help, while seemingly helpful, all the answers are inside.
You say
"problem is I probably don't know my "stuff" and will need stuff like charisma and friendliness" if you believe that, then it's true, if you don't, then don't say it. Confidence, not arrogance adds stability to purpose. Be confident, don't think you can, know you can. It's very simple, people just want to make it complex to sense growth.
Doubt is a natural reaction, to challenge, but break it down, piece by piece and you'll see it's just an illusion. Asking questions can be helpful.
Why do I doubt myself?
Can I succeed?
What is stopping me?
Do I have the basic requirements to do well at this?
If time is short, what can I do right now (other than doubt) to kknow this is better?
Start getting to the core of doubt and I'm confident you'll see that not only are you ready, but you'll do well.
