Imposter syndrome kills more dreams than failure ever will—but what if it’s not about confidence or competence at all?


In this episode, Tilmon shares how getting fired from a six-figure job led to building a six-figure business in under a year—not by pretending to be perfect, but by getting brutally clear on what mattered. This is the mindset shift that will free you from burnout, self-doubt, and the belief that you’re “not ready yet.”


You’ll walk away with:



  • A simple way to overcome imposter syndrome starting today




  • Tilmon’s exact daily structure to avoid burnout and stay productive




  • The only 3 skills you need to master as a new entrepreneur
