Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: 3 Things To Do Today
Imposter syndrome is a common mindset struggle that holds a lot of new life coaches back from making money and being able to help their coaching clients.
Imposter syndrome can be defined as: the overwhelming feeling that you don't deserve your success. It convinces you that you're not as intelligent, creative or talented as you may seem. It is the suspicion that your achievements are down to luck, good timing or just being in the “right place at the right time.” And it is accompanied by the fear that, one day, you'll be exposed as a fraud.
Some common thoughts that can pop into our head when imposter syndrome takes over:
What if people find out I’m not a “legit” life coach or have no idea what I’m doing?
All the clients I’ve found and money I’ve made so far must be random luck
I’m not worthy to get paid well to be a coach
All the other coaches in the world know what they are doing and I have no f*cking clue
I’m not doing “enough” in my coaching biz
I need to take more trainings and get more education before I can charge more or charge for my services
