Overcoming Imposter Syndrome For A Successful Launch

Imposter syndrome is very real and what everybody experiences at some time. When launching a new digital product, you are putting yourself out there, and that can feel terrifying.

I kept telling myself who am I to create a digital product and teach other photographers - I don’t have a big enough following or an email list - but there is no reason why anyone can’t create a digital product- regardless on the size of your audience.

Remember you don’t have to be an expert to teach someone something - you just have to be a few steps ahead of someone you want to teach and serve and have gotten results for yourself.

So how can you overcome imposter syndrome? Here are 3 quick tips to help you overcome imposter syndrome.

#1 Talk to people in your network

Ask people in your network if they ever have suffered imposter syndrome. You might be surprised to learn how many people in your network have suffered imposter syndrome. Listen to podcasts and read books by entrepreneurs, every one at some stage has been paralysed by limiting beliefs and feeling like an imposter.

#2 Remember the facts

Feelings can override your ability to stay level headed and remember these facts.

- You’re perfectly capable of teaching on your chosen topic

- You have validated and tested your digital product idea

Importantly, remember to stop comparing yourself to others. The fact is, the people you are looking up to is where you want to be. You are at the starting point and they are several steps ahead of you.

#3 Don’t obsess

Remember ready is a lie, and done is better than perfect!
