3 lessons you can learn from Frank Abagnale's crazy life
👇
👇
1) Use an alter ego to summon confidence
Abagnale accessed a more confident version of himself by playing dress-up.
“A man's alter ego is nothing more than his favorite image of himself."
A con artist impersonates to deceive, while a confident person impersonates to become.

2) Observation is a superpower
You see 2 men wearing a suit & tie. Can you tell who is the police officer & who's the drug dealer?
Abagnale can by doing a visual scan of the person — from their facial expression to their clothing to the type of shoes they're wearing.
Observe.

3) You become who you surround yourself with
When Abagnale got out of prison by agreeing to help the FBI, he didn't think: 'I'll never break the law again.'
But when you're around 12,000 ethical FBI agents, *you* become ethical.
Be intentional about the company you keep.
