Do you struggle with “Impostor Syndrome”???

I do!!

Here’s the Wikipedia definition of impostor syndrome:

“Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon or impostorism) is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud.[1] Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon do not believe they deserve their success or luck.”

“3 Ways to Overcome Impostor Syndrome”

 #1. STOP comparing yourself to people that are 10 years ahead of you. Looking at a multi million $$$ business owner on social media and beating yourself up that you arent on their “level” won’t do you any good. I have found it leads to more impostor syndrome and feeling like a failure that you aren’t on their level yet. Stay in your own lane. Focus on you and what you can do to get to the next step of where YOU are at! You are right where you need to be!

 #2. Get RESULTS for yourself or a client. The easiest way to overcome impostor syndrome and feeling like you aren’t worthy, is reminding yourself that you’ve already come so far! Never forget that!

#3  Share your RESULTS in your content! The easiest way to not feel like an “Impostor” is to just share things that are working for you or your clients/customers. You can’t be a fraud when you are actually talking about real life success stories and transformations! This makes content so much more fun and you’ll never feel like an impostor again!
