"You become fearless": Shark Tank mentor Jamie Kern Lima shares the secret to unlocking your "ambition"

Shark Tank mentor Jamie Kern Lima shared an Instagram reel on February 7, 2025, sharing the secret to unlocking "ambition." The female entrepreneur discussed how people worry about being "enough" and losing their ambition.

While sharing her thoughts on the subject, the Shark Tank investor stated that learning to believe you are "enough" would help individuals become "fearless."

In the clip, Jamie Kern Lima stated:

"A lot of people worry, well, if I believed I was enough as I am, will I lose my ambition? Oh no, you don't - - You actually become more ambitious! Because when you learn to believe "You are enough exactly as you are," you become fearless about going for things because you know even if you fail, or fall flat on your face, or you're embarrassed, or it doesn't go well, that might shake your confidence, but it cannot touch your self-worth."

She added:

"Our self-confidence is the house that we're building, but our self-worth is the foundation under it. And our house is only ever as stable and secure as that foundation."

Shark Tank's Jamie Kern Lima opens up about becoming "more ambitious" and "fearless" towards achieving dreams

In a recently shared Instagram reel, Shark Tank mentor Jamie Kern Lima talked about becoming "more ambitious." To do that, she mentioned that people need to learn and believe they are "enough" the way they are.

She considered that becoming "fearless" about things such as failing or any embarrassment can only shake the "confidence" and not your "self-worth."

The female entrepreneur captioned the video with:

"Here's the truth: When you start to believe you are already enough just as you are, you actually become MORE ambitious, not less!! Because when you know that your worth isn’t on the line, you're fearless about going after your dreams."

Shark Tank mentor shared a clip from one of the videos from her podcast, The Jamie Kern Lima Show Podcast. Further, she compared the "self-confidence" to the "house" we are building. For a house to be strong, one needs to have a strong foundation.

For that, she asked her fans and followers how they were building their "foundation."

"Self-confidence is the house we build, but self-worth? That’s the foundation it’s built on that makes it strong. How are you building your foundation today?" she asked.
