If you have ever felt like..

• You have doubts that your success was warranted. Maybe it was luck.
• You don’t feel deserving of being in the spot you’re in or singing praise for your wins
• Feel like someone is going to find out about “the real you” sooner or later.
• Trouble taking compliments 

If so, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome, right along with an estimated 70% of the population. That’s right — those feelings are shockingly common, but no one talks about them!

One disappointment or moment of uncertainty is often all of the proof you need to convince yourself that you’re not good enough or shouldn’t be doing the work you’ve chosen to do. 

Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success

Nobody is immune.

I’ve dealt with it many times, especially in working with Visionary Clients.

• Everyone suffers from imposter syndrome but nobody has MORE or LESS rights to delivering what you do!

• You’re not an imposter if you’re creating in service of others (I believe Seth Godin first said this!)
