Summary

We all have that voice inside of our head that makes us doubt ourselves. When left to fester and grow, this self doubt turns into a paralyzing fear of commitment. Today, I’m sharing a strategy that will help you battle your inner critic before it even speaks up.

Battling your inner critic before it speaks up with the “Fake It Til You Make It” strategy
What happens when we let self doubt grow into fear of commitment
The “Complete It or Kill It” mindset
