What is Imposter Syndrome & how do I know I have it?
What is Imposter Syndrome & how do I know I have it?

“I swallowed a load of water and had a panic attack” - Imposter Syndrome in action
Last week I had to practise what I preach when it comes to Imposter Syndrome when I had a panic attack in the middle of Lake Windermere.
I'd signed up for my Open Water Lifeguard qualification and felt like a total fraud.
I was right in the middle of the lake, trying to keep up with the other swimmers, when I swallowed a load of water, which triggered a panic attack.
This is the raw, authentic story of what happened to me... AND the EXACT steps I took to break free of my Imposter Syndrome.

How to 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?
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.
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.
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 conversation.
7 ways self-sabotage is ruining your business
This week I got a call from an old client, an HR business owner.
“I think I’m self-sabotaging and I can’t stop it”
She was so frustrated, and kicking herself because she was no rookie.
She’d nailed her vision, her values and she had a cracking service offering.
And yet – she couldn’t quite break through a plateau.
Every time it looked like it was certain this time, she was going to bust through to a new level, something would happen, and she’d be right back where she’d started.
And she was tenacious – she knew how to pick herself back up and get on the horse.
But it was getting harder and harder, and she was losing the faith.
She was 100% right – it was self-sabotage at play.
This is the story of what we did to get her to recognise how she was self-sabotaging, why she was doing it – and what to do about it.
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.
