The saying isn’t ‘fake it so you’ll make it’ - in other
words, faking it isn’t the method for achieving
success.
You’re not pretending to be something that you’re
not.
The saying is simply a confidence-building tool
that you use to help keep your goals in sight.
You are who you are, and you have it in you to be a
successful version of yourself - but, you might need
a little positive visualization to keep your eye on
the prize.
And, that is why the ‘fake it til you make it’ strategy is so useful.
Starting and running a business can be intimidating and, if you’re a mompreneur, you’ve got a lot of
different roles to play each day that take your focus
from your business.
It’s easy to get off track and lose the drive that is
necessary for pushing past all of the obstacles that
come up.
Using a ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ confidence strategy
helps you to embody the persona necessary to stay
connected to your motivation and focus.
And, not just in theory - it’s actually backed by
science.
3 (SCIENCE-BACKED) WAYS TO FAKE
IT TIL YOU MAKE IT:
SMILE
Even when you are completely pissed off and
overwhelmed … just smile. It has been scientifically
proven by several published studies that smiling
while working on tasks that are stressful will keep
your heart rate lowered and help to improve focus
and mood. Think about it. Could you really scream
and yell about something that is irritating the shit
out of you … while smiling? I’m a mom - I know
this can’t be done.
