what image do you outwardly project to the world? What do other people think of you?
Ask five people what they think about you. What type of energy do you convey? What type of confidence do you convey? What do you look like? How do you dress? Ask five people all of these things.
I have a client named Rob who is a great guy. Rob took a bootcamp with me recently, and the other night we were out to dinner having a long talk. He's a great-looking guy, he's got a great image, he has lots of confidence but it's all an optical illusion.
He projects these things to everyone who sees him but deep inside he doesn't really believe it. This is his fundamental issue. He doesn't believe that he's good-looking. Rob is 5'7", but if you sat with him at a table you'd think he was 6'2". He has this incredibly large persona.
But the problem is that he just doesn't believe it. Everyone sees it except for him.
Rob is what I call an optical illusion. This is why many men (and women) come to me for coaching what I can do with them is really work on the inside. It's great that you're able to exude these qualities, but if you don't actually believe it, other people won't either.
When you first glance at Rob, you believe it. When you hear him talk, you still believe it. But if Rob doesn't believe it himself, he will never be able to go up to a woman even though she's feeling the heat and the energy and close her. He won't be able to get her phone number and go out with her.
Rob needs to believe it. And those of you who can relate to Rob those of you who live in a life of optical illusions you need to do something to make yourself believe it.
Rob was telling me about some of his friends who are fascinated by what Rob did at the bootcamp. They desperately want to do the same thing but they are terrified. They keep making excuses about the money. "Oh, it's $2495, there is no way we could do that," they say, yet both of these guys are going to grad school. They're trying to get advanced degrees so they can get a better job and make more money.
They are willing to invest in a degree that will help them to become more successful and make more money in the business world, but they are not willing to invest in themselves!
That's what you need to do. If you are an optical illusion, you need to invest your time and money in personal development. You need to invest in YOU. You are your own corporation, and you need to invest in yourself.
This is not a sales letter for one of my bootcamps either you're going to do it or you won't. But that's the thing about life: what are you waiting for to change yourself?
If everyone thinks that you are confident on the outside and you don't feel it on the inside if you are an optical illusion guess what? Your life is never going to change unless you start doing internal work.
So here is a suggestion and a challenge I have for all of you: I want you to go out there and find out if you are an optical illusion. I want you to ask five friends what they think of you.
What type of image do you project? What type of confidence do you convey?
I want you to go out there and do this today. And I want you to find out if you are an optical illusion. If you are, we really need to get you started doing some inner work on your brain. It won't change by itself. If it could, you already would have been able to self-motivate and make it happen.
Consider this the first step the first kick in the ass to getting rid of that optical illusion that you may be conveying to the world.
