Dentists With Bad Teeth
Summary
- I believe that to be taken seriously, you must practice what you preach; just like no one trusts a dentist with bad teeth, you lose credibility when your personal situation contradicts your advice.
- If you're offering relationship guidance, it's crucial to have a stable relationship yourself. Your own experience and success add weight to your words.
- When speaking about health and fitness, it's important to embody the results you promote. Being overweight and advising on diet undermines your authority.
- To establish yourself as a legitimate authority, you must first and foremost exemplify the evidence of what you're teaching. Live the results you're trying to teach.
- Remember, authenticity is key; trying to make it by faking it will only lead to failure. People can tell when you're not genuine, and it will detract from your credibility.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting by taking a hard look at your own life. If you're teaching others, make sure you're following your own advice. Just like you wouldn't trust a dentist with bad teeth, people won't trust you if you don't practice what you preach. So, here's what you can do:
- If you teach about relationships, focus on building a strong one yourself. Share stories about your success and let people see that you really know what you're talking about.
- Are you into health and fitness? Then you've got to walk the talk. Show that you can achieve and maintain the results you're telling others to go for. That means eating well and staying in shape.
- Always be authentic. If you're not living the results you're teaching, it's time to start. Make your life a model for what you're trying to teach. Be the proof that what you're saying actually works.
- Don't try to fake it till you make it. People can tell if you're not being real with them, and they won't stick around if they think you're a fake.
Live by these rules, and whether you're running a business or focusing on personal growth, people will see you as someone they can trust – someone who's really got the authority to teach them. Give them the real you and the real results, and they'll listen.
