Imposter syndrome is feeling out of place in the scenes you’ve dreamed up for yourself. It’s reaching that big goal and looking around thinking, “I don’t belong here, someone is going to call me out.”

Imposter syndrome plagues even the most accomplished, successful people because it has nothing to do with our qualifications or experience. Imposter syndrome attacks your confidence and changes your inner dialog, and it can impact your productivity, big time.

Big Shout Out to our Savvy Scribe GrowthLab graduate, Amy Burianek, whose question inspired this episode!

Mentioned on the show:

• Imposter Syndrome, know what it is & what to do about it - Psychology Today
• Bizchix Podcast - Named as one of the 'Top 25 podcasts for Entrepreneurs' by Entrepreneur.com magazine
• Natalie Eckdahl - Helping Women Entrepreneurs Profitably Scale & Simplify Their Business| Host of BizChix Podcast| Keynote Speaker| Author
