The same principle is at play in “fake it till you make it.” If you act in a certain way, your feelings, emotions, confidence levels, and overall attitude will gravitate in that direction. The result? Eventually, you make it.
2. Act confident. No matter what.
One of your greatest assets is your confidence. The problem is, it’s hard to project confidence from a mind filled with fear and doubt.
