…a multi-disciplinary blog for people passionate about reaching their goals!

On 1st April 2013, I began traveling slowly across West Africa as a Location Independent Multipreneur, sharing updates on this blog.But on 4th May 2014, my 9 year old domain was taken over by Aplus.net. THIS, is the "reincarnated" blog on my new domain: TayoSolagbade.com. Click "What Happened to SpontaneousDevelopmentDotCom ?" below :-))

Fake It Till You Make It

Written by Tayo Solagbade

Topics: Entrepreneurship

The success philosophies I subscribe to, teach that one needs to ALWAYS Think and Act like a Success In Order To Become One.

“A doctor without clients, is still a doctor.” – Jennifer Fader

Jim Donovan in his best-selling e-book (titled “This Is Your Life, Not A Dress Rehearsal“) – click to download FREE PDF – that I bought from www.asamanthinketh.com in 2001, described a technique called “Fake It Till You Make It” – FITYMI. He explained it by saying that without mis-representing him/herself, the person who seeks success must act as if (and BELIEVE) s/he has already become the successful person s/he wants to be.

You would speak in the present continuous tense about the value you intend to deliver. For instance you would say “I Help People Solve Their Business Financing Problems” and NOT “I Hope To Help People Solve Their Business Financing Problems”.

Your apparent self-belief is what will convince persons sincerely interested in having THAT kind of problem solved to engage you.
