We're diving into a topic both Emily and I have felt very strongly starting this business. That is IMPOSTER SYNDROME. We have never started a business before... we're young... we lack real business experience. This has been a tough part of the business! But we have also learned a ton going through this challenge. In this episode we discuss different stages of imposter syndrome, when we feel it most, and the action threshold. We then dive into 4 practical steps we implement daily to overcome imposter syndrome.
Specific points we dive into:
1) Imposter syndrome >> it is really freaking HARD.
Starting a business is no easy task. Emily and I discuss what it has felt like starting a new business and podcast.
2) I feel it most when i’m not ACTING or MOVING
When I am stuck in my feels... overanalyzing a certain situation... that is when i feel imposter syndrome. When I am acting or moving I rarely every feel imposter syndrome. I talk about not feeling imposter syndrome while attempting my 52 x 52 (52 marathons in 52 weeks) because the very act of the 52x52 is MOVING.
3) Action threshold
Those who achieve a lot in life have a lower threshold for what they think they need to know or plan before acting… they just START
4) Felt imposter syndrome leaving medicine & Felt imposter syndrome staying in medicine
It is often not the situation that we are in that is causing imposter syndrome. It's the unknown... it is a part of life.
