Today, we are going to have a conversation around imposter syndrome.

Do you ever get it?  I do. Often. Like way more often that I’d like to admit.  I used to get it about this podcast. I get it about the Women in Business Online Community that I’m building. I get it about our local small business sometimes. I’m just going to assume you’ve had imposter syndrome types of thoughts. Mine typically sounds like "Who will listen to me?" and "Who will hire me?".  

Here's how I handle this when it creeps in…

1. I ask myself “what’s the worst thing that could happen?” Most of the scenarios in my head aren't real, so I remind myself that "nothing" is likely the answer to that question.
2. I remember that God has placed big dreams in my heart, and if He called me to it, He’ll walk with me through it.  I wouldn’t need Him if I were qualified, and quite frankly, that's just not a place I want to be.
3. Here’s where the magic happens...I ask myself “what could go right?” and then my mind jumps to impact that I can make in the lives of women and their families, their businesses, and how they spend their time. Focusing on the impact keeps me motivated to push through the imposter syndrome (because Satan wants me stuck in my own head) and I take action on moving this ship forward!

I'm praying for you and your business!

My best,

Lindsay
