Most entrepreneurs, especially those who reach a certain level of success, sooner or later experience a sense of disbelief in their abilities and unworthiness of what they've accomplished; they feel like a fraud.


These feelings are best known as imposter syndrome. Although we are beings having human experiences, and it's completely normal to feel like this, there are ways to mitigate these sensations and slowly but surely, erase them from our system.


In this MVP episode, Ben explores why we experience imposter syndrome and why it's so common among successful people. The "curse of knowledge" and its role in creating the feeling of unworthiness, and practical ways to deal with it are also covered.


Our world is shaped by what we are looking for, let's not overlook the importance of celebrating our wins and appreciating our progress.


In This Episode:

  • If you are experiencing imposter syndrome, you are not alone
  • About the "curse of knowledge" and how it affects us
  • A couple of practical ways to deal with the "curse of knowledge"
  • What is a "personal badassery list," and how it can serve us
  • The myth about levels of mastery and incorporating new knowledge
  • The importance of looking at our wins and celebrating them
