In This Episode:
Do you experience moments of self-doubt about your achievements? Do you think that everyone else knows more than you do? Do you have trouble seeing the value in the services you provide? Imposter syndrome is that little voice in your head that casts doubt and makes you feel like you are not good enough. It can stop you from moving forward. It’s been reported that entrepreneurs and freelance consultants are more susceptible to imposter syndrome because they rely on self confidence to make a living, and they may not have the support network to help them when these moments arise. The good news is that imposter syndrome is not permanent and it can be overcome. Elaine Pofeldt discusses strategies to navigate these feelings of inadequacy. Elaine is the author of The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business andTiny Business, Big Money: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Microbusiness.
