What is the main difference between confidence and overconfidence for an entrepreneur?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Confidence is based on preparation while overconfidence ignores checking
Healthy confidence comes from preparation, relevant knowledge, realistic planning, and willingness to consider evidence. Overconfidence occurs when a person overestimates ability or underestimates risk and therefore ignores testing, advice, or warning signs. Confidence supports action with judgment; overconfidence can produce careless decisions. Thus the key difference is respect for preparation and verification.
