He worked as a banker and trader in London and on Wall Street for over a decade, but found the \u201cWall Street\u201d life hollow and unfulfilling. Instead, Brian found purpose in helping people transform their lives and achieve their full potential. He now hosts the London Real, and interviews personalities from all walks of life all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Our mission at the <em>Rich Life Letter<\/em> is to bring you information that can help you grow your wealth and live better. As you read what Brian has to say, I think you\u2019ll find, as I did, his vision aligns with <em>both <\/em>\u00a0missions of our newsletter. Read on and I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: left\" src=\"https:\/\/media.paradigm.press\/circle-pics\/editor-circle-brian-rose-large.png\" alt=\"Brian Rose\" align=\"left\" \/>Hello <em>Rich Lifer<\/em>,<\/p>\n<p><!--text--><\/p>\n<p>If you ask ten successful people what sets them apart, you\u2019ll probably get ten different answers.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll probably say things like education, hard work, setting goals, being in the right place at the right time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>And to a certain extent, all of these things are mostly true. Sure, there will be some people who don\u2019t have much of an education, but they\u2019re a hell of a hard worker. There will be someone who didn\u2019t really have a goal in mind, but they fell into their field and ended up loving it.<\/p>\n<p>So those elements of success are important, but not universal.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s one thing that they do all have in common. That invisible but essential element is\u2026<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Confidence.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s that simple. They have the confidence to go the extra mile, to shake the hand of the person they\u2019re dying to meet, to introduce themselves to a crowd, to stand up and say who they are and what they do and why this matters.<\/p>\n<p>It all sounds so simple when it\u2019s in black and white, but in practice? Most people don\u2019t live with this kind of confidence day to day.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, most people stay in their lane. They don\u2019t introduce themselves to new people. They don\u2019t ask for a raise or speak up in meetings, and when they have an idea that would mean going their own way? They shut it down before even giving it a second\u2019s thought.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, confidence is what \u201cseparates the men from the boys,&#8221; as they say.<\/p>\n<p>So why is it so rare?<\/p>\n<p>And if you don\u2019t have it, can you develop it?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Is Confidence Something You Were Born With? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Not too long ago, I had <strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/londonreal.tv\/e\/priyanka-chopra\/\">Priyanka Chopra<\/a><\/u><\/strong> into London Real and I asked her these exact questions.<\/p>\n<p>Priyanka is a world-famous Indian actress, singer, philanthropist, and film producer. She originally planned to become an engineer, but after her mother sent her photo to the Miss India pageant on a whim, she took the pageant world by storm and went on to win Miss World instead.<\/p>\n<p>With a history like this, you\u2019d think Priyanka was always a woman with take-no-prisoners confidence, right?<\/p>\n<p>Wrong. She describes her young years as awkward and gawky, and details an experience with a bully as a reason she decided to leave American high school &#8211; she didn\u2019t want to be tormented, so she no longer wanted to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>How\u2019d she make the leap from victim to victor?<\/p>\n<p>It goes right back to what we\u2019re talking about. Confidence.<\/p>\n<p>When Priyanka saw the opportunities in front of her, she decided she had to choose between staying shy and comfortable and forcing herself to be confident. As you can guess, she decided she had to \u201cfake it until she made it\u201d and the rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Priyanka is as cool, calm, and collected as she seems to be. With all sorts of credits and accolades under her belt, she is as confident as she once portrayed herself to be.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Nothing Comes Easy. It\u2019s a Journey <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to break through to the next level yourself, you might be wondering, \u201cHow is that possible? \u2018Fake it \u2018til you make it\u2019 is way too simplistic &#8211; how do I actually become confident enough to attain the things I want from life?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the answer is it\u2019s a journey, and it\u2019s different for everyone, but here are some specific practices you can try while you\u2019re on that journey.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Dress To Impress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to feel like a bigshot in pajamas &#8211; or even in a T-shirt and jeans. If you want to feel important, and you have this idea of an important guy in a three piece suit, guess what you should wear when you want to feel powerful and in charge? You got it &#8211; it\u2019s time to break out your best suit. From the moment you look the part, there will be a subtle shift in your subconscious. You\u2019ll start to feel the part, too.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a hint &#8211; why do you think I wear suits on the set on London Real? Yes, you got it &#8211; it\u2019s because that\u2019s how I want to show up for my guests and my viewers. I show them I value their presence with my attire. You can use this trick, too.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Flip Your Thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you feel unconfident, it\u2019s easy to have a negative inner monologue. No matter what you want to achieve, when you feel like it\u2019s not attainable for you, it\u2019s very likely that you\u2019ll stack up reasons why.<\/p>\n<p>Everything from, \u201cI\u2019m bad at math\u201d to \u201cI\u2019m terrible at public speaking. Why would anyone pick me?\u201d will run through your head. The key to ditching the negativity behind these thoughts is to turn them around. Even if you don\u2019t have skills in a certain area, you can be honest AND kind with yourself. Instead of, \u201cI\u2019m bad at math,&#8221; try \u201cMath is an area I\u2019m trying to improve in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of hating yourself for struggling with public speaking, try, \u201cI prefer written communications, so instead of making speeches, I can wow people with my written communications instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"subhead\"><strong>Take Small Steps<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Know that progress is progress &#8211; no matter how small. When you\u2019re trying to develop a new way of life, it can seem overwhelming. When you\u2019re trying to be more organized, for example &#8211; that encompasses a lot of things. Find the first step in that process &#8211; maybe it\u2019s making your bed everyday, maybe it\u2019s answering all emails within the first 48 hours &#8211; and then commit to that step and only that step.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve mastered it, let the momentum of success carry you forward into the next step\u2026 and the next\u2026 and the one after that, too.<\/p>\n<p>If you can master your outward appearance, your inner monologue, and your daily habits, you won\u2019t be faking confidence anymore. You\u2019ll be a paragon of accomplishment. Just remember &#8211; none of this is hard, and no one is born with it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a skill you can and should develop for yourself. Once you do, there\u2019s nothing that can stand in your way.<\/p>\n<p>To a richer life,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"align-none\" src=\"https:\/\/media.paradigm.press\/signatures\/signature-brian-rose.png\" alt=\"Brian Rose\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Brian Rose<br \/>\nEditor, <i>Brian Rose Uncensored<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/a-special-message-from-brian-rose\/\">A Special Message from Brian Rose<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/\">Daily Reckoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/a-special-message-from-brian-rose\/\">A Special Message from Brian Rose<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/dailyreckoning.com\/\">Daily Reckoning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A special message from Brian Rose.
