Or, at least I thought I wasn’t… until I recorded this episode. (Yes, it’s that good!) In fact, I might even stretch it to say that this is one of the best episodes I’ve ever done. (You’re going to love it!) I know that you’re either struggling with imposter syndrome or you have in the past. How do I know this? Because I’ve dealt with it, and I feel it starting to creep in from time to time. Oh, and most of my successful entrepreneurial friends have experienced it too.  The good news is that I have powerful tools (that I’ve personally used many times) to help you overcome imposter syndrome so this can be your most successful year yet -- personally and professionally.  Want to know what they are? Well, first of all, let’s talk about what imposter syndrome is.  Dr. Amy Cuddy, who is a social psychologist, New York Times bestselling author, and a Harvard lecturer who focuses on the psychology of leadership and influence, says that imposter syndrome can be defined as “a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success.” Now, let’s take a peek at five proven actions for giving imposter syndrome the boot… Get out of your head and into your heart. Find out how one of my students, Natalie MacLean, let her heart lead her to a $30,000 launch. Take action! I give you three specific ways to transform the energy of imposter syndrome into action so you can attract new clients and, in turn, boost your revenue. Stay in your lane! You can do this two ways: stop chasing shiny objects and stop comparing yourself to others.  Embrace competition and acknowledge that there is enough room for everyone. (Because there is, and amazing things can happen when you do this!) Acknowledge your credibility and success. Find out how to do this in the episode. Because this is a topic almost every entrepreneur can relate to, I want you to head to our private Facebook community and share what actions you’re taking to overcome imposter syndrome.  And, while you’re at it, let me know what you thought of this episode.    Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my podcast?
