Today, we're going to tackle this common challenge that many of us have had to deal with from time to time head-on and discover how to get past imposter syndrome to help unlock your true potential. So, let's dive in! Imposter syndrome—a very common and often paralyzing feeling that many of us experience at some point in our entrepreneurial journey. It's that nagging voice in our heads that tells us we're not good enough, that we're a fraud, because we’re doing something new and maybe making that later in life pivot and that people just aren’t going to take you seriously. But let me tell you, my friend, imposter syndrome is just that—a feeling, it’s not a reflection of your true worth. Now, I’ve written and spoken quite a bit on this topic the last couple of years in one way or another. Encouraging you to finally step out of the comfort zone and try something new. And launching an online business is definitely something new for a lot of people. But the first step in overcoming imposter syndrome is to, well, first recognize and acknowledge that you have it and a lot of people go through it. If you’re wondering how to figure out that you have it, and you’re in the early stages of your business building venture, ask yourself this question: ‘Why am I procrastinating with the things I know I should be doing, but don’t do?’ Is the root of the problem that you just don’t believe in yourself? You’re struggling internally with the concept of who you say you are? Because people with confidence just do what they need to do. They say what they need to say. It’s not a struggle. It’s sort of a no-brainer for them. You’re not alone in this journey, and when you’re making this life pivot, the ‘new you’ that you’re creating can come with some new self doubts as well. But these thoughts and feelings are only temporary. As you prove yourself and your expertise and gain confidence, these feelings will fade and eventually go away. It’s just that initial transition you’re going through that has you feeling this way. When I revamped my business into the coaching and consulting model, I found that the more I talked to people about it the quicker my confidence grew. And when confidence grows, it pushes out the doubts at the same time. Time after time, I’d end a Zoom session with someone that wanted my coaching on a particular subject and I’d say to myself, ‘wow’ that felt so good. Being able to give advice to people that they can use in a practical way…and to have it be received so well was a huge confidence booster. And then…I had my first Podcast interview where I was the guest and I was the one being interviewed and to have the host of the other Show tell me afterward that it was great conversation that we had and that she thought it was going to be a great episode that will help a lot of people. But then…to actually hear myself on someone else’s Podcast as the guest was a pivotal moment as well, you know. Because part of the self doubt we have revolves around the thought ‘can I really do what I’m telling people I can do?’ But then, when you actually do that ‘thing’ you do in small bits and pieces at first and over time, you’re able to actually see yourself, over and over again doing this ‘thing’ with quality and substance, you’ll find that the imposter syndrome fades rather quickly. It seems a little strange, doesn’t it that we have to prove ourselves to ourselves at first to gain the confidence we need to move forward? I’ve said this before and I’m sure it won’t be the last time that we need to think about what we’re thinking about and stop playing that negative soundtrack in your head over and over again. You made it this far in the journey because of your skills and expertise. Yes, you’ve got a long way to go to hit your goal, but we all do. We’re all a work in progress. But give yourself a pat on the back because you
