How To Beat Imposter Syndrome

Most entrepreneurs, especially those who reach a certain level of success, sooner or later experience a sense of disbelief in their abilities and unworthiness of what they've accomplished; they feel like a fraud.

These feelings are best known as imposter syndrome. Although we are beings having human experiences, and it's completely normal to feel like this, there are ways to mitigate these sensations and slowly but surely, erase them from our system.

In this episode, we delve into why we experience imposter syndrome and why it's so common among successful people. We talk about the "curse of knowledge" and its role in creating the feeling of unworthiness, and we go through some practical ways to deal with it. 

We acknowledge that our world is shaped by what we are looking for, and we analyze the importance of celebrating our wins and appreciating our progress.
