IMPOSTER SYNDROME AMONG STARTUP FOUNDERS ⬇️
We speak to many founders on a daily basis, many are super confident about what they are building and their vision, but with a little dive to start unpacking the truth that lies below, it is clear that many suffer from imposter syndrome.
How does this feel:
➡️feeling that you are way outside of your comfort zone
➡️feeling you are out of your league
➡️feeling like you don't have the required experience or knowledge
Listening to outside opinions can sometimes have this effect on us, as can all the toxic positivity that we read on social media.
But none of these feelings are evidence that you are in the wrong place and you should run. They are signs of:
⭐️ you're making progress
⭐️ you're pushing your limits
⭐️proof that you are in exactly the place you should be, pushing outside of your comfort zone.
This uncomfortable feeling needs to be embraced and you need to remind yourself of your mission and core values.
Imagine being in a situation where you don't have this feeling.
⛔️dull
⛔️stagnation
⛔️unfulfilling
If you never feel like an imposter are you challenging yourself enough?
Did you set out on this journey to grow, progress and learn?
All these factors are highly conducive with fulfilment, well then you should always be an imposter, it is proof that you are living a fulfilling life.
Embrace the imposter in you.
