Why not just do the thing
The problem with when people “fake it until they make it”…
Is the “it” never truly happens because you’re so distracted.
Convincingly pretending to lead a successful project takes as much time as leading a real one.
Convincingly pretending to have skills you don’t takes as much time as building the real skills.
Convincingly pretending to have domain authority takes as much time as actually knowing your stuff.
So why mess around faking anything?
Why not just do the thing?
