When you successfully call your shot and it lands, talk about it. Being able to predict things – even the results of your own actions – is a difficult skill! It’s valuable to be able to be right about the future. It lets you win bets, for one. But it also helps you earn a positive reputation.
You don’t have to brag, necessarily. But there are lots of positive ways you can share the fact that you were right about something. You can use that knowledge to help others. And if you do that, you get the credit for being right in the first place.
You are your own first, best, and often last advocate. Don’t forget to put up the score when you win.
