I lacked MAJOR confidence in myself when I first took the leap into entrepreneurship.
I would attend all the events, read all the books, listen to all the podcasts and free webinars. I would take PAGES of notes and get so pumped up to go put everything I had learned into practice. But when it came time to implement the strategy I would feel imposter syndrome BIG TIME.
I fell into a deep trap of always comparing myself to other entrepreneurs and wondering... “what does she know that I don’t. How does she make it look so easy?"
I would spend so much time crafting posts for social media, stressing out about saying the wrong thing and so worried about it being perfect, only to hear crickets and get ZERO responses. I felt like I just blended in. Like I had ZERO authority with my audience.
And my worst nightmare used to be when someone would tell me my products were expensive. I had such a terrible relationship with money and had ZERO clue what to say to someone when this objection came up!
I was so convinced that the secret sauce to my next big goal was going to be found in someone else’s training or strategy. I put so much value in what other leaders were saying and doing that I completely lost sight of my own authenticity and authority.
I wanted SO BADLY to stand out as a leader, figure out HOW to sell without feeling icky and, more than anything, I just wanted my business and income to be more consistent month over month.
