Act Your Wage.
-Dave Ramsey

While driving down the road yesterday I saw a billboard with the above quote. After thinking about it for a minute I realized how much I disagreed.  Because Top Performers don’t act their wage, they act what they WANT their wage to be.  So what wage are you looking for? What new job promotion do you long for? What new network do you wish to belong to? Once you answer those questions, observe the behavior, etiquette and work ethic of those in the position you admire. Then act like you belong.  Will you have to “fake it ‘till you make it” for a little bit? Maybe, but Top Performers find a way to balance their own authenticity with the requirements necessary to grow professionally.

So this week, STOP acting your wage, and START acting like the leader you always knew you were.
