Fake it till you make it. I love this phrase. There are two ways to read it:
1. Pretend to be you're something you're not until you are - fake it until youre successful, until everybody sees you the way you want them to; or
2. Pretend to be making something until you actually make something.
I love both readings, you have to dress for the job you want, not the job you have, and you have to start doing the work you want to be doing.
