I've been thinking about something that comes up for many people - a sneaky voice that whispers: "Who are you to start a business/ask for a promotion/try something new (fill in the blank)?"
Sound familiar? That's imposter syndrome, and it's keeping too many brilliant people stuck in the planning phase instead of actually building their dreams.
Are you still sitting on that side hustle idea?
(FYI -- I'm going to be sharing some amazing AI tools to help you with your side hustle!)
Here's what I want you to know:
Feeling like you don't know enough isn't proof that you're not ready - it's proof that you're growing.
Most successful entrepreneurs didn't wait until they felt qualified. They started with what they had, learned as they went, and collected evidence of their capability along the way.
Your unique combination of experiences and insights makes you the perfect person to help someone who's facing what you've already overcome.
Take the smallest possible step today. Not next month when you feel ready, but today.
Post about your expertise, reach out to one person who could benefit from your help, or maybe create a simple landing page (there are SO many AI tools to help you with this!)
Make it so small your perfectionist brain can't talk you out of it.
Remember: done is better than perfect, and started is better than stalled.
Your dream business, job, or promotion is waiting for you - so get going!
Cheering you on,
Ana
