Act as if

 She attributes much of her success to a very important piece of advice she received in college: "Act as if."

"It's a mentality, a state of mind, a perspective," Brown explains. "Things are not always going to go your way in business, in your career, and in life. There will be setbacks and disappointments, and you may be tempted to get down on yourself, but you have to act as if — as if it didn't happen, as if it didn't faze you, as if things had gone your way."
