Episode 278, Stop Faking it!

Episode 278 is about Stop Faking it and Start Making it.  

 

The phrase "Fake it 'til you Make it" is common career advice, but does it actually work?

For many, it leads to imposter syndrome and burnout. It prioritizes perception over progress.

 

What if we adopted a more authentic and sustainable approach to growth? I explore this in my latest podcast episode, focusing on a new mantra: Make it until you make it.

 

This mindset is not about pretending. It’s about doing. It's about building tangible skills, gaining real experience, and earning genuine confidence through consistent, imperfect action.

 

In the episode, I cover how to apply this to your professional and personal life, including:

• Moving from vague ambitions to specific, actionable goals.
• Embracing the learning curve and giving yourself permission to be a beginner.
• Building unstoppable momentum by documenting your efforts, not just judging the outcomes.

This shift has been fundamental to my own growth, helping me build skills and confidence from the ground up.

 

How do you approach learning and development? Do you lean towards "faking it" or "making it"? I'd be interested to hear your experiences in the comments.

 

Share this episode with someone you think can benefit from Faking it to Making it.

Until Next time.
