When you need to promote your talents, the things you make or the great ideas you have, you may discover you lack the confidence you need to promote yourself.  You may not have an aptitude for networking or a taste for manipulating opportunities.  It’s not uncommon.

Many successful people work hard to overcome their natural reticence.  If the self-confidence you need is missing, you will need to do what they do: grit your teeth and learn to simulate it.  Let’s call it ‘acting’.  It takes hard work and dedication but it will provide you with a springboard to get you to where you want to be.

Start shining

start shining

If your mission in life is to attain a state of celebrity, eminence, greatness, glory or stardom in your chosen firmament you will need to shine brightly.  All the stars in all the skies shine, but some shine more brightly than others; they are so distinct, conspicuous and pin-sharp that they leave a brilliant impression as they pass.  Don’t plan to rely on destiny – dazzle
