Hi guys and welcome back to the show you're listening to Style Your Mind

I'm your host Kara and I'm here for a quickie this morning. I just tweeted something

and it got a big response so I wanted to share it here on the podcast and kind of go into a little bit more detail and

elaborate on it for you because I think it's a really important topic for all women.

The tweet said, the goal is to be so sure of your skills that even if someone else questions them

your rock solid confidence can't be rattled. If you're not there, get there.

You've got to invest in yourself if you expect others to invest in you.

So as a coach and a business strategist I work with a lot of women in business,

specifically female entrepreneurs.

And they come to me and they're just sort of,

you know, unsure of how to position themselves in the market.

They have a lot of insecurities around what they do. They feel like maybe they're not good enough they feel like people aren't going to pay them what they want to be paid

They're nervous to speak in front of big groups of people they're nervous to launch their own podcast, and I think what

tends to happen with these women, there's two things that tend to happen.

There's one, the fear is kind of irrational, the fear is really just rooted in their own thoughts, their own

negative thought loops, thought patterns, feeling like a fraud, imposter

syndrome. I talk about that a lot in my book like She owns the place. And then I

think some of those fears are actually kind of valid.

If you don't have the training, if you don't have the skills,

if you haven't put in the work, then of course you're going to feel uncomfortable getting up there

and positioning yourself as a subject matter expert or trying to coach someone in business

if you've never actually run a business.
