CRUSH THE FRAUD: Unleash Your Inner CEO

Listen Later

Do you ever feel like a fraud, despite your achievements, or worry you'll be "found out" as not as competent as others think?

In this episode, Sonja tackles the insidious challenge of Imposter Syndrome, a common struggle for entrepreneurs. She dives deep into what this pervasive feeling is, why it haunts so many, and powerfully reframes the journey of those building businesses while working full-time, declaring them strategic visionaries rather than imposters.

You'll learn:

  • What Imposter Syndrome truly is and the common reasons why entrepreneurs, at all stages, experience it.
  • Why feelings of inadequacy can arise, especially for those balancing a full-time job with building their business.
  • The critical importance of acknowledging your genuine achievements to ground your self-perception.
  • How to reframe failures and mistakes as essential opportunities for growth and learning.
  • The liberating power of sharing your doubts with a supportive community or mentor.
  • The freedom that comes with embracing progress over perfection in your entrepreneurial journey.

    • Get ready to:

    • Understand and conquer the nagging voice of your inner critic.
    • Build undeniable evidence of your competence and expertise.
    • Transform setbacks into fuel for your next breakthroughs.
    • Connect with a tribe that validates your experiences and strengths.
    • Step into your role as the confident, capable CEO you truly are.

      • F.A.B. ASSIGNMENT (Fierce Action Breakthrough)!

      Actively build your "Brag Board" and use it to challenge your inner critic.

      1. Create Your Board: List at least 10 achievements in your business (digital or physical).
      2. Face the Critic: The next time self-doubt creeps in, immediately refer to your Brag Board and read your accomplishments aloud.
      3. Journal the Shift: Take 2 minutes to write down how your feelings or perspective shifted after reviewing your board. Make this a consistent habit!
