don't believe your own hype

don't believe your own hype:

"You’ve got to learn not to believe your own hype. Enthusiasm and self-confidence have their place, sure. But if you’re looking for someone else to validate you - with sales figures, visitor counts, Facebook "likes" - you will almost always be disappointed.

Your mantra has to be “Be Awesome.”

Be awesome even if no one cares but you.

Be awesome even if no one notices.”
