Faking It Till You Make It Will Get You Nowhere

You have probably heard of the saying "fake it till you make it" in the network marketing world. Well the other day I was on a webinar with legendary Mike Dillard (pick up Magnetic Sponsoring if you haven't) and he said something that has resonated with me ever since. He said that from his experience what a lot of newbies in the industry complain about more than anything else  is lack of prior experience and success and how it's hurting their business. He went on to say that the important thing was to position yourself as a leader and provide value right away, because to tell you the truth, faking it till you make it will only get you so far, like one of my mentors  used to say, "Who you are in private will reveal itself out in public." Isn't that always been the case.
