Welcome to Darin Daily on Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darin Hardy.

Yesterday I started providing mentorship on a question to me by Rowan.

Could you please do a piece on how to make a terrific first impression beyond being impeccably

dressed, he asked.

So this morning, grab your coffee to your smoothie and let's continue the discussion.

Here's number two.

Stop faking it, be real, be transparent, be authentic and be yourself.

Hopefully your improved self after working on point number one yesterday.

Too often people spend incredible amounts of energy trying to project themselves as something

they're not.

Most of their conversation is spent trying to impress and they think that they have everybody

around them snuggered.

Here's the reality.

Nobody's fooled.

People are always transparent even when they think they aren't.

I'm sure you meet people all the time who say the right things, who look the part.

But you just know in your gut, even if you can't put your intellectual finger on it that

they are just full of hoey.

Have you ever been talking with someone and they, everything they say, sounds right?

Yeah, yeah, sure.
