Do you ever feel like a fraud? Like pretty soon, everyone is going to find out that you don't know what

you're doing. Guess what? Everyone does. Today we're talking imposter syndrome. Before we dive in, I welcome you you to the Bizchicks podcast.

I'm your host, Natalie Eckdal.

I'm a business strategist, post it lover, out-of-the-box thinker, author, speaker, mama, caregiver,

MBA, and CEO of Bizchicks, Inc.

I'm obsessed with helping women's service business owners

grow their businesses while retaining more profit, delivering more impact, and creating more time for

their VIPs. My VIPs are my husband Mark, our three kids ages 6 to 18, and are kittens,

Missy and Max. I have a very full life running at home,

family, and this dream business where we coach and train high-performing women entrepreneurs

from around the world. Currently, I have three teams helping me run my life, the amazing

bizchicks team, my incredible home support team, and a team of loving caregivers

helping my mom. My favorite thing to encourage other women is to get as much help as they can

afford. And may I remind you that just because you can do something does not mean that you should.

So I never knew that every single one of us was experiencing some form of

imposter syndrome until I heard a podcaster give a name to it almost 10 years ago. Of course,

he didn't invent it. It was just him sharing about what this mindset issue is.

If this is the first time you're hearing someone give a name to imposter syndrome, this thing

that you've been feeling, I want you to know that you are not alone. We all experience

imposter syndrome on some level. And I think it is even more poignant for entrepreneurs as we are constantly

doing new things. As we grow as leaders in our businesses and in our industries, we bump into

those same feelings over and over again. You might be hearing things in your head like, who are you to do this thing?
