Imposter syndrome is an inability to see how good you are. It is something all people experience at some point in life.

Regardless of what level you're at, anytime, you enter a new space that's unfamiliar (reaching a new level in business, getting a promotion), you’ll feel like you don't belong there. That's Imposter syndrome.

Then you ask yourself: “Should I be here? Do I know enough? Am I smart enough? Have I achieved enough? Am I worthy enough?...”

And it’s perfectly normal to feel insecure when you are in a new environment. But giving up is not the option - you should use the situation to research and learn.

And that’s the point in coping with Imposter syndrome - to use it to push yourself to the next level. 

In this episode, we’re trying to explain that no one can avoid Imposter syndrome because the alternative is staying in a comfort zone forever. 

We’ll also show you that you’re not alone.

If you tune in for the new episode of the Push podcast, you’ll also find out how a billionaire dealt with Imposter syndrome, who you should compete with, and what Eddie and Janelle’s methods for overcoming insecurity are.
