Ever feel like a fake? A pretender? An IMPOSTER? Welcome to the horrible world of Imposter Syndrome, suffered by Entrepreneurs and others everywhere. How do you deal with this unwieldy beast? Christopher Browning is here to tell us about his experience overcoming imposter syndrome and how he coaches entrepreneurs to overcome it too. This episode is packed with actionable advice and is perhaps the most unmissable episode yet! Also, congratulations for reading this far, how's your day? Mine was nice because i got to talk to Christopher, anyway, you should probably listen to the podcast now I guess, ah shucks...     How to apply the information from this podcast: . Recognize that imposter syndrome is internal resistance against making yourself the person you want to become . Recognize that you can't fully remove imposter syndrome, but you can get better at leaning into it, and persisting despite the resistance . Ask yourself who you're comparing yourself against and who you're not comparing yourself against and if regular people would consider you an expert at your subject? Recalling that for a regular person to consider you an expert, all you'd have to do was read 3 books on the subject. (Recall how easy it used to be the get considered an expert at computers 10 years ago) . Don't compare yourself to the uber-experts, compare yourself to regular people to feel less of an imposter, because compared to them, you are an expert and you do have value to offer them . Ask yourself what natural talents you do have, which other people compliment you on but which you consider to be easy or very straightforward, are they easy for other people too? Are they things you should be more appreciative of and things you should focus more on? . Journal your self talk in order to fix it, if most people talked to other people the way they talked to themselves, they'd have no friends, how's your self talk? Are you cruel to yourself or supportive? Daily journal: "how did i talk to myself recently" to get a handle on your horrific self talk . Every time you catch yourself thinking "I can't", tell yourself "I can" 5 times and feel it by remembering a time when you thought you couldn't but when you did it anyway, also ask yourself what tools you're grateful for existing that can help you . Do the Strength Finder program by the Gallop Organisation . In the morning, before getting out of bed, spend 5 minutes visualising a successful day, reviewing yesterday's mistakes being solved today . When considering your next business venture, or a pivot to your current business venture: Ask yourself "What is the change you want to see in the world which you could actually achieve?" and "What thing would you like to help people optimise?" And then look at your natural talents and skill for how could achieve that Topics discussed include: imposter syndrome, comparisons, strengths finder, natural talents, fulfilment, visualisation, self-talk, entrepreneurship, digital nomads Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE on iTunes or Stitcher to avoid missing out on the next inspiring interviews and if you LOVE the episode, give it a 5 star rating and write an awesome review!     Get links to all the resources mentioned in this episode by going to: happierlifestyles.info/017     Music from the podcast can be found here: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/DRVNOfficial/~/As_I_Begin_Produced_By_SVGAR_BEATS http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Audiobinger/~/Wonton_Soup
