As creatives and business owners, we all have doubts from time to time, but sometimes our fears can be crippling.
There is one phenomenon that has become pretty common among creatives and entrepreneurs called “imposter syndrome”. It’s an intense feeling of doubt and inadequacy that you can’t do what you say you can do, or a fear that you are just biding time until someone finds out what a fraud you are.
It can appear as mild as a thought in the back of your mind, or it can be a debilitating belief that you just can’t shake – especially if you suffer from anxiety or depression.
The good news is that there are some simple steps you can take to keep imposter syndrome from hampering your success.
In fact, you can be even MORE successful if you follow these steps to build confidence and self-awareness.
