Ryan Lee went from working as a physical education teacher to a millionaire entrepreneur. He says being authentic and true to yourself is one of the most important steps to changing where you are to go where you want to go. Here are Lee’s tips for remaining authentic:
  1. Don’t feel as if you need to become something you are are not just because everyone one else seems to think ii is a sign of being authentic. In other words, you don't have to curse or grow a beard just because that seems “authentic.” Do whatever feels most natural to you.

  3. Share your losses as often as you share your wins.
  4. Tell people what you stand for. Don’t be afraid to draw a line in the sand and ask, “Are you with me?”
  5. Always tell the truth--even when it hurts,
  6. Accept that there will always be people who don’t like you.
  7. Open up and talk about things outside of your business. People do business with people, not faceless organizations.
  8. Regardless how many people you are trying to reach, speak as if you are speaking to one person Be as conversational as possible.
