Shamou,
Thought of one other question. Did you experience an immediate change in your way of thinking or did it take you some time to shift your view and become comfortable "advertising" yourself to others?
Okay, one more and that's it I promise!
Before this did you believe in your "product" or have doubts? If you had doubts did those disappear immediately or slowly over time? If the answer to either of these things was slowly did you use affirmations or some other method to remind yourself of this new view of the world?
