19 // 3 Ways to Combat Imposter Syndrome in Your New Business

On today’s episode of Ditch the Classroom, we’re talking all about something that SO many people deal with daily but don’t know that it has a name, and that is imposter syndrome.

 

Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud."

 

This is something that even top level CEOs expierence, which is why I wanted to provide you with some tangible ways to combat these feelings, including:

Positive affirmations (ones that you truly believe) ex. I am a great mother, I am caring towards others, I have a great attention to detail. Keep a “Feel good folder” with screenshots of positive emails, texts, projects that you feel you did a good job on. Scroll through them when you’re feeling like a fraud to help remind yourself you’re a bad ass. Practice! If a client/potential client asks you if you can perform a specific task for them, try creating one for yourself first! Watch youtube videos, google your heart out, and ask for help from your support system to figure it out. As I’ve said before, 90% of the things that I’ve done for my clients were things I had never done before. You CAN figure it out.
