How to Be More Confident

1. You confront a sales meeting.
2. You instantly become timid.
3. You suck.

"So what do I do?!"

Try this:

1. Think of Brad Pitt in Ocean's 11.
2. You = Brad Pitt.

Done.

Imagining yourself as someone else's persona helps you adopt that person's persona.

You start asking:

• What would Brad Pitt do in this situation?
• How would Brad Pitt respond in this situation?
• How would Brad Pitt talk to this person?

Magically, you start:

1. standing up straighter
2. having more conviction in your voice
3. doing stuff you wouldn't have done minutes ago

Productively-Confident You.

And if something undesirable happens to you, you experience this gem:

1. "I didn't get rejected."
2. "Brad Pitt got rejected."

Result: You take more risks that propel you forward on your freakish journey of total domination.
