Your Creative Work Sucks

This is a message you need to hear.

It happens to all of us. That nagging voice inside that says:

"You don't deserve this success..."

"You're a fraud...sooner or later they'll figure it out."

We've all been visited by the infamous imposter syndrome at some point in our careers. But I've got great news...

You can beat this punk into submission! 💪

Here are my best tactics:

• Remember you're in good company. Even Beyonce has suffered from imposter syndrome. If Queen B gets it, so can you!

• Make a "Humble Brag Book." Compile all your proudest creative achievements. Pull it out and review it when you need a reminder of how awesome you are.

• Talk back to your inner critic. "I didn't work hard for this" becomes "I worked my butt off and I've earned every success!"

• Find your fellow imposters. Connect with mentors and peers who know the struggle. Boost each other up.

• Celebrate small wins. Meeting little milestones keeps motivation high and self-doubt at bay.

At the end of the day, you DO deserve to be here. Your unique talents and perspective make the world a better, more vibrant place.
