I've Got Imposter Syndrome About My New Imposter Syndrome Book!

I recently wrote and released my first book, a practical guide to breaking free of Imposter Syndrome for women.

It’s part mindset mastery, part manual, and I really have spilled all my secrets – all the knowledge and skills I’ve accumulated over (almost) twenty years of helping women with their Imposter.

And… I’ve been struggling with my own Imposter Syndrome when it comes to shouting about it!

Get your sh*t together

Everybody I’m speaking to seems to be overwhelmed right now.

Overwhelmed, burnt out, too many tabs open.

Part of it is the time of year, school admin seems to be off the charts at the moment, and the looming school holidays throwing everything into disarray.

And even if you don’t have kids, there is a LOT going on – the election, the Euros, July being a nightmare to schedule anything, clients cancelling, the algorithm on here going bonkers.

So many people I’m speaking to are feeling frazzled, and a lot of fear about how business is going – it’s genuinely tough out there for a lot of people.

You’d be forgiven for just pulling the duvet over your head and waiting until September when normal service resumes.

In today’s conversation I’m going to teach you some vital stuff.

Not only how to rise to the challenge and get everything done that you need to, but how to develop a bulletproof mindset so that whatever is going on externally, doesn’t even touch you.

Sound good? Let’s go!

How do you know if you’re successful yet?

Do you feel successful as an entrepreneur?

Are you achieving what you set out to achieve?

How can you measure your success?

And if you feel successful now, are you done, or are you ready to go for your next level?

We’re talking about some big questions in today’s conversation.

Big – but really important.

So many of us set off on the adventure of entrepreneurship, so busy doing the do that we forget to look up and check we’re still heading in the right direction.

Or we achieve what most people would deem success, and look around and it just feels hollow.

We set an ambitious target, absolutely smash it, and just feel numb.

Today is all about reconnecting (or quite simply connecting) with what success means to you.

I promise you’re going to feel excited and empowered as a result of this post.

What to do when you’re on your knees 

Say what you like, entrepreneurship is not for the faint hearted.

While fortune may well favour the brave, having the audacity to run your own business can bring you to your knees.

Often, women come to me when they’re in a pickle, when they’ve thrown everything at it, and have had dark nights of the soul and are questioning their very existence, never mind if they’ve got what it takes to run a business

This is exactly what I would do – and have done – to totally turn my ship around and go from screwed to smashing it.

10 ways to feel the fear and do it anyway

Call it Imposter Syndrome, call it the wobbles, call it the voice of reason. Whenever you step out of your comfort zone, fear will pop up and try to talk you out of it.

There are scientific, evolutionary reasons for this – safety to your mind equals the familiar – so when you do anything new, your subconscious panics and tries to bring you back to your comfort zone – and what it perceives as familiar and safe.

The problem is, nothing great happens in your comfort zone. If you want to reach your potential, you’ve got to take some risks.

Here are my top 10 ways to feel that fear, and do it anyway.
