I stray from my beaten path of cute headshot pictures and friend posts, into seeing what other people in my industry are doing.

The brain whispers begin,

"They're doing more than you."

"They're so much more respected than you."

"They were featured here and there and you weren't."

And pretty soon that turns into,

"You're failing. No one thinks you're any good."

"You aren't any good at what you do, and it's only a fluke that it's worked so far."

"You will ultimately fail." Imposter Syndrome is a tough one to overcome.

In this episode I'll be chatting with Sharon Chisholm about our experiences, about our coping mechanisms.

Tune in to learn:

• When Sharon and Kate are hit with imposter sydnrome
• Their coping strategies
• Thoughts from fellow misfitsIan Skellhorn, Sonia Cuff, Amy Clarke and Jenny De lacy

Entrepreneurs are the rock stars of our time.

Wherever you look, you see them splashing about in all their entrepreneurial glory.

They take every opportunity to tell us:

• How they started with nothing and built an empire

• How they’re living the four-hour working week dream

• How they succeeded in business by taking risks, dreaming big and reaching high

  And it’s all so confusing.

  Because as I read these articles, dressed in my PJs and dropping biscuit crumbs onto my keyboard, I feel a twinge of envy.

  But I also feel a quiver of revulsion.

  Because I should want all of that, right?
  
  But what if you don't?
  
  
  

  In each podcast I’ll take one of the traits ascribed to entrepreneurs, the ‘requirements’, and then poke it and pull it apart to see how relevant or necessary it really is.
  
  We'll tackle the challenges some entrepreneurs face too.

  You won’t find any get-rich-quick schemes in this pod. I won’t be selling you some impossible dream of working ten minutes a day from a hammock either.

  And if you’re looking for a serious, hard-hitting business tome or philosophical deep-dive you should head back to iTunes This book is business light – and proud to be.

A quick Mic test with Maria Doyle, chatting about the new podcast - Confessions of a Misfit Entrepreneur | How to succeed in business despite yourself.
