The Last & Most Powerful Way to Overcome Imposter Syndrome
And defeat your inner fraud once and for all
So you’ve acknowledged your imposter syndrome.
You’ve made an attempt to reframe your beliefs around it.
You’ve even gone as far as allowing more imperfection into your life.
Only problem is…
You still feel an overwhelming sense of fraud and inadequacy.
What do you do then?
Well, my friend — in that case, there’s only one thing left to do.
And if you commit to doing it — along with everything else I’ve discussed — there’s absolutely no way imposter syndrome can continue to thrive.
Buckle up and get ready for method #3:
Dive a little deeper
When all else fails and you’re still feeling unworthy…
… it’s time to dive a little deeper and expand your knowledge further.
Because guess what?
You might actually be an imposter.
Or, better yet, you might not actually have the skills required to do what you’re doing effectively and successfully.
It happens more often than you think…
People get thrown into positions they aren’t prepared for.
People lie about their experience to get jobs they don’t know how to do.
People jump into roles requiring skills they don’t yet possess.
It’s certainly not uncommon.
And if that’s you, then you better find out how to fill that gap…
… and you better find out how to fill it quick.
Not because you’re going to get called and and reprimanded for your lack of knowledge and experience (though, that could happen) — but rather, because the toll that imposter syndrome takes is often more than you think.
Lost sleep.
Severe anxiety.
Irritability and agitation.
An overwhelming sense of fear.
Constantly second guessing yourself.
It’s not pretty — and it’s awfully destructive.
But luckily for you, there’s an easy way to avoid this.
And the way to do that is by diving into what you’re doing as deep as you possibly can.
Read books.
Take courses.
Find a mentor.
Learn from the best.
Do whatever it takes to become as proficient as possible.
The more you learn, the more confident you’ll become.
You’ll have more faith in yourself.
You’ll feel more valuable.
And best of all…
… your feelings of inadequacy will begin to fade.
There’s no better way to combat imposter syndrome than making damn sure you’re as prepared as you need to be to effectively do what you need to do.
Do that and the rest is history.
And there you have it.
The last way to overcome imposter syndrome.
If nothing else seems to be working for you, this is the Hail Mary that should clear everything up and get you on the right track.
Mastering your craft is a sure way to boost your knowledge and confidence.
It’s also the best way to feel prepared and ready to kick ass no matter what.
Dive a little deeper…
… and get rid of that nagging imposter in the process.
Halt right there!
