Summary

Do you ever feel like you’re not as good as others in your industry? Or you think you won’t succeed at something, so why bother? Today Rob discusses imposter syndrome and everything that it isn’t. Rob explains the detriments of labelling your inner fears as an imposter and how this can cause them to become your reality, how comparing yourself to industry leaders when you are just a beginner will create self-doubt and why nobody is better at being you than you.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  We need to be careful of these labels that we put on ourselves because we can end up manifesting a reality that isn’t a reality, it is a fear which then becomes a reality. Imposter syndrome is where you are your own worst critic, you put yourself down and constantly tell yourself you can’t do something or that others are better than you.    Starting something new, or being a beginner at something should be one of the most exciting times. When you start your business or are beginning to scale, be clear on who your ideal client or demographic is.    You can always train, coach inspire and mentor and create products and services for people who are not quite yet at your level. You only need to be a level or two above them. When you compare yourself to people that have been in the industry many years more than you, you then feel insignificant and that is where you get your imposter syndrome.    Learn that it is okay to say “I don’t know” and learn to say that you cannot offer a service that a client requires. When you learn to embrace these things, then you give yourself permission to be yourself. To say you have imposter syndrome is to say you are not comfortable being yourself.    The reason it is impossible to be an imposter to yourself is that nobody is better at being you than you. Flaws, failing and all you are the best version of being you. All imposter syndrome feeling is, is useful feedback for you to check-in that you are being yourself in your product or service and ensuring that you are being true to yourself.    BEST MOMENTS “Don’t label it imposter syndrome, simply just say that you are new on your journey.”   “Who says you shouldn’t do something? If you want to start a new passion or profession and you have a message you want to get out to the masses, by saying you can’t do it that is like saying nobody can be a beginner, that nobody has the right to start.”   “Surely, what we are all searching for in life is to be comfortable with ourselves.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
