An overwhelming number of doctors, engineers and scientists don't have an entrepreneurial mindset. What's more, when they have an idea, they don't know what to do with it since they will not learn those competencies in their formal training. They just don't know how to innovate their way out of our sick care mess.
But, that hasn't stopped lots of them from trying, include non-sick care entrepreneurs. They just improvise.
Here's how to fake it when you don't know what you are doing or you forgot your lines:
These things come with practice. But, since you are part of innovation theater, practice your lines, be sure you are wearing the right costume and that the stage is set properly. Break a leg.

Faking it for the right reasons can change you for the better.
If you want to get more work done, act as if you are a productive person.
Changing your behavior first can change the way you think and feel.
Just make sure you're interested in changing yourself on the inside, not simply trying to change other people's perceptions of you.
These advices could be applied in every single sector.
