Fake it to make it or how Bob and Butch failed up. How to establish credentials before you have any. Faking it till you make it is not about being dishonest or lying. It's not about forging or lying about what you did and didn't do. Your body won't commit to something that your mind doesn't believe possible. Summon the courage to commit to action, which build competence and then finally comes confidence. In other words, believe it till you achieve it! In today's livestream we have Bob Bonniol, Melinda Livsey, And Butch talking to Chris about whatever is on his mind.
