Ep 007: Imposter Syndrome, Fear of Failure & Getting Stuck

This week, I answer Tarryn’s voice note about how to move past imposter syndrome, the fear of failure and how to just keep moving forwards without getting overwhelmed.

I wanted to share my tactics, ‘tricks’ and the exact things I tell myself everything time I struggle with these barriers.

Imposter Syndrome

  • everyone has it - even Louis Theroux (listen to him talk about it in this episode with Jon Ronson).

  • No one gives permission or authority for you to start something. So, stop waiting for it. Other people are out there doing stuff - and why do they get to, if you don’t?

  • Own your vulnerability - just like Brene Brown would want you to!

Fear of Failure

  • Think big & test small

  • Fail soon & fail forwards

  • Manifest dreams so big that they leave no room for the fear of failure.

Getting stuck & not moving forwards

  • overcommit & power through

  • show up, no matter what, day in & day out

  • focus on cultivating discipline instead of waiting for motivation
