Raise your hand if the entrepreneurial rollercoaster has you feeling like a superstar one day and a fraud the next 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Welcome to the wild ride of confidence swings! Imposter syndrome? It loves to visit.

It’s a universal experience: Those highs and lows are part of the entrepreneur package deal.

Even successful people have moments where they question their abilities.

Do This, Instead:

• Track your wins: Keep a list of accomplishments to reference when the doubt creeps in.
• Separate feelings from facts: Are you truly incompetent, or is it fear talking?
• Talk to someone you trust: A mentor or friend to offer perspective and remind you of your strengths.
• Fake it ’til you make it (sometimes): Confidence begets confidence, act the part even when you don’t feel it completely.

What instantly boosts your confidence when you’re feeling down?
