"Fake it till' you make it"... We've all heard it before. If you've ever taken my trainings or attended an event I've spoken at, you've probably even heard me say it before! I used to say it to my Agents, to my friends, and even to myself. No matter what the situation is, the uncompleted task I've been putting off, the social event I was hesitating to attend - I just have to smile and fake it to make it.
