Not entirely sure about the 'act as if...then' idea.

Someone who has never been in any type of sales environment.

Am I right or am I right?

No.

Thought so.

I meant no as in, 'No, you're wrong.'
I make a lot of money directly selling services on a regular basis.

I still don't believe in the 'Act as if... then' idea.
I don't even really believe in 'Assuming the sale,' but I'd give that a pass if that is what the article suggested. The article suggests that if you act as if you are something then by some mystical method, you'll become it.

I think that is weak.

As for my personal situation, I'm pretty successful. I don't wake up every day and give myself 'affirmations' or 'act as though I've achieved the successes of the day' before I've done so. I work hard, and work smart. I don't think my success has anything to do with doing 'willpower exercises' or 'changing my body language' because I don't.

In my mind, 'Believe until you achieve' is snake oil.

What do you sell?

Staplers?

What is "I make a lot of money" ?

10 pounds a week?

Sounds like to me you are convincing yourself here.

Right?
