IMPOSTER!!!

Despite the name of this entry, I assure you this is not about me admitting to being an imposter, a fraud, or a charlatan. Actually, I would like to address the very real behavioral condition called "Imposter Syndrome". Imposter syndrome is the mindset of not feeling deserving of your success, the thought that while you are among other successful people, you feel like you do not deserve to be among them, everyone knows what they are doing but you.

If you ever feel that way, take heart, you are not alone. I myself feel this way quite often as I am new to the business and surrounded by so many established people. So often I ask myself "Is that a stupid question?" "Do I deserve the success or attention?" While I know I have worked hard to get here and undoubtedly have a lot to learn, it's natural.


Many times, I have heard even some of the most successful people question their achievements as if they were dumb luck, despite all the evidence to the contrary. It's natural to doubt oneself, even with praise and support from everyone around you. Every successful person has felt this way at some point or another. So, when you get that way and start doubting just remember, you do deserve it, you earned it and there is more to come.
