I don't know if I've ever told you this ...
But I used to smoke a lot of dope!
I haven't touched the stuff since...
...hmmmm, when did that weird Vampire movie with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter come out?
Well, whatever...
It's been a while.
But last night I'd had a couple of beers and an old friend was passing a joint around outside the pub...
So, I thought: "f**k it, why not?"
Well, someone happened to mention that the weed was 'organic' and I proceeded on a 20 minute rant about the pros and cons of organic marketing for online coaches.
Pretty sure I bored everyone's pants off...
But as I was stood at the sink in the pub toilet, splashing water on my face...
I realized how much I've changed over the last few years and more importantly...
How much I've learned though studying, testing, and and implementing marketing and copywriting strategies for my clients.
In that moment, looking at those ridiculous, puffy, red eyes staring back at me in the mirror...
I felt the imposter syndrome melt away like a hot bath melts away the tension in your shoulders and upper back after a long hike.
I knew that I was an expert.
Then I started giggling uncontrollably! 🤭
But let me get to the point here.
To make it online, you have to keep growing, it's a non-negotiable.
And after a while, the growth starts to happen on autopilot as you change your beliefs, self-image, and habits.
So it's easy to forget just how far you've come...
But the imposter syndrome never really goes away.
So, next time you find yourself questioning your abilities:
"I don't know if I have what it takes!"
"Why should anyone listen to me? - I'm not an expert"
"Nobody's gonna show up to my IG live - I'm such a loser"
Stop what you're doing...
And light up a f***king joint!
Hahaha, no, only kidding!
But seriously, when that imposter syndrome rears its ugly head (and it will)...
Stop what you're doing...
Take a couple of deeeeeep breaths...
And just remember how much you've grown as a coach, entrepreneur, and person.
You, , are an absolute champion.
OK, I'm gonna put away my laptop and head out for dinner, I've got some serious (non drug-related munchies)!
Talk soon,
