Have you heard of the expression: “Fake It ‘Till You Make It?” You usually hear it in the business or entertainment worlds. The idea is that if you look like a success, others around you will treat you like a successful person, and will send more projects and opportunities your way. At some point you can stop faking it because you’ve become what you’ve pretended to be. “Faking” in this context isn’t as phony as it sounds. What you are really doing is modeling behaviors until you’ve internalized them.
