Listen "006: How To Shake Off Imposter Syndrome"
Episode Synopsis
“Imposter Syndrome can absolutely cripple you if you don't get to grips with it sooner rather than later. ” - Jo Ingram
Welcome to the sixth episode of Action Taker Tribe. In this week’s episode, we tackle Imposter Syndrome.
It is quite common as we grow our business to deal with Imposter Syndrome. That feeling of “Who am I to do this?”
“People with much longer resumes are the ones who should be doing this, not me.”
That voice in your head that says stay small... Don’t do that or you might fail.
I discuss why your idea of total perfection is holding you back, and how we can overcome imposter syndrome - and even come to see it as a friend.
I discuss why women may encounter this more than men, and I also look at different ways we can keep it at bay so we are not crippled by it.
Imposter Syndrome might just be a part of leveling-up, but it doesn’t have to stop you in your tracks. I’ve had to deal with it as I grow my business so I hope you find this episode useful on your business journey.
