The most important person you have to convince is yourself. If you are not totally committed to create, change and polish the new person you are becoming you will never succeed.  The main reason is it is not an act. You are truly becoming the real person you have always had buried inside. If that inner strength has no support , how can it manifest to the world ? The true goal of this mission is to develop you. A  better life, dating women respect from others, confidence in your appearance will be by products of this transition, not the focus. If you don’t feel your positive powerful persona, how will it reach out to others? This is your main motivation, the pursuit. The end result is just another step that will be reached once you have taken all the previous steps. If you jump to the end, it will be of no value. As you grow into the man you wish to be, there has to be trial and error . Since this is all new territory for you , what you would like and what you are truly capable of being are two separate things. Not all styles will suit you or be comfortable to you. To just imitate a celebrity is not becoming a man, it is just playing dress up. Owning that shirt, enjoying those shoes, showing that incredible smile are for more valuable than anything off a hangar.
