1. Act enthusiastic

Back in the early 1900s, major league baseball player Frank Bettger, was demoted to the minors because his manager thought he lacked enthusiasm.

Bettger took note and determined to establish a reputation as one of the most enthusiastic ball players in the league, even if he had to fake it. 

Before long, Bettger landed a position with a better team and a dramatic increase in his income.

Bettger’s playing hadn’t improved; it was simply the power of his enthusiasm that led to his change of fortune.
