'Fake it Till You Make it' Doesn't Work!
In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer challenges one of the most common (but misleading) pieces of advice: “Fake it till you make it.”
You’ll discover why faking it doesn’t lead to true confidence or success — and how it can actually keep you stuck. Peggy shares 5 practical mindset shifts you can make today to stop pretending and start becoming the confident, capable, and successful person you’re meant to be.
Whether you’re in sales, leadership, network marketing, entrepreneurship, or just trying to grow in your personal life, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you build confidence and success from the inside out.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why faking it creates insecurity, not confidence
✅ How to “act as if” by modeling the behavior of successful people
✅ Why copying success is not cheating — it’s smart
✅ How posture, energy, and voice shape your success before you speak
✅ Why your identity must align with your desired outcomes
✅ How small, consistent shifts lead to lasting transformation
Key Takeaways:
✨ 1️⃣ Faking It Creates Insecurity, Not Confidence
Confidence comes from competence and aligned action, not pretending. “Act as if” means aligning your behavior today with the person you want to become.
✨ 2️⃣ Success Leaves Clues: Modeling Is Not Cheating
Modeling successful behaviors shortens your learning curve. Copying in life and business isn’t cheating — it’s strategic and wise.
✨ 3️⃣ Your Energy, Posture, and Voice Matter More Than You Realize
People feel your energy before they hear your words. Lead yourself first with confidence, posture, and presence.
✨ 4️⃣ Faking It Keeps You Tied to the Wrong Identity
Shift your identity to match your future success. Speak and act like the person you’re becoming, not the person you’ve been.
✨ 5️⃣ Small, Consistent Shifts Lead to Real Transformation
Success is built on habits, not hacks. Model successful people’s behaviors in your money, mindset, health, and habits.
Challenge for This Week:
Identify one area where you’ve been faking it — confidence, leadership, posture, saving money, etc.
Ask yourself:
“How would the most successful version of me show up right now?”
Then go model someone who’s already there. Learn. Adapt. Apply.
Stop faking. Start becoming.
