Confidence. Such a simple word but also a word that may have more to do with your success or failure than any other. Confidence moves individuals, markets, and countries. Confidence allows us to focus on the future rather than just the here and now. Over the last five to seven years, most of our worlds have been turned upside down. Everything from the stock market, to the weather and our seasonal work flow are not as predictable as in the past. Our homes, which were once not only our greatest asset but also a wonderful place to invest money, don’t appreciate 3 to 8 percent annually. These factors have really shaken our confidence.
