A: WRONG QUESTIONThere are many entrepreneurs who don’t even realize what they’re saying when they ask questions like, “How do I build the IMAGE of success?”
Why build an IMAGE of anything?
Why not stand up and BE or BECOME success?
What if you found me feverishly googling, “how to project the IMAGE of being a badass” or “how to LOOK like a woman.” You’d HAVE to assume that I was neither badass nor woman, because if I WERE, I’d have no need to LEARN how to PROJECT an IMAGE of either.
When you ARE something,
you simply SHOW UP,
you simply ARE.
So you waste no time trying to LOOK like something that you — just — ARE.
Don’t try to “project” success.
Instead, spend your time making success… a project.
The former costs money, the latter makes money.
The former costs esteem,
as you try to make people BELIEVE something
you don’t quite believe about yourself.
The latter BUILDS esteem. The market ALWAYS catches up to what is true, to what you OWN, to what you ARE.
