Here are strategies you can use to fake it till you make it:
Dress up like what you want to become. Guess what? If you want to be a successful businessman or businesswoman, you should dress the part of successful business men and women. The way you dress can change the way people perceive you. Dressing like your idea of success also subconsciously influences you to behave in the same way. So if you want to fake it till you make it, then dress like the person you want to become.
Act like what you want to be. Science has found that if you want to be a powerful person and start acting like one, you will actually feel powerful. To act like a successful person, try using a power pose. The first place to start is your posture. Avoid the meek pose which has you hunched over, with arms crossed. Rather, try the power pose, with your chest and head lifted and your hands placed on your hips. When you act powerful, even when you do not feel powerful, you will actually begin to feel powerful and be powerful.
Change your body language. Your body language has an effect on the way people perceive you, which goes on to affect your success one way or another. When you believe in yourself, you’ll naturally exude charm and confidence, and people will take notice. They will ultimately believe you have everything going for you, even if you do not. An employer will want to employ you if he feels you believe in yourself, and a client would want to do business with you if you have the right body language.
Mimic good leaders. If you were to speak in front of an audience, but do not have speaking skills, listening to an influential speaker before you have to perform can actually boost your speaking skills. This is a great way to influence your brain to mimic what it sees. When you lack certain skill sets, mimic those who have what you need and you will see yourself performing as you want.
