The “fake it til you make it” mentality is exhausting; both for the people faking it, and for those watching it too. I have been there; when I was first starting out my own leadership journey I was excellent at taking advice, but not discerning whether that advice or information was good for me or not. I was faking it until I made it. While I did make it, I know better now. Today I want to break it down in two different angles, and really help you realize that there’s a better way through beginning your own leadership journey. That’s why episode 149 of Becoming Iconic is about my preferred mentality: Faith it until you make it! In this episode of Becoming Iconic, I’m sharing the importance of being genuine and actionable steps you can take right now to avoid the “fake it til you make it” mentality. I cover some of the following topics: My personal story of faking it until I made it, and while it was successful, why I don’t recommend it for you.How faking it until you make it creates an energy leak that prevents success.Why it’s not Faking it until you make it, but Faith it until you make it.Why building a business built on integrity and faith is far more successful than one of any other falsities.It can be so difficult not to compare your business or journey with anyone else, but trust me on this: if you hold faith, and believe in yourself, you’ll have a far more loyal and inspired community than any other way.

This week’s Soul Spark is all about pain point selling, and how we need to stop using pain points as a marketing strategy. I have created pain point selling in the past, and while I felt that those marketing strategies always came from the purest of places in my heart, I recognize now, years into entrepreneurship, that this is not the right way to sell to clients. It is an overly pronounced way of marketing in every industry and my hope is today’s Soul Spark will allow a new way of marketing into your heart.Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on all things business, style, relationships and family. Thank you for listening!
