Facing Imposter Syndrom Head On

[Kenny Clark]

I'll be the first to admit it - I've panicked at the signing table. Do the thoughts "Do I deserve this?" Or "Am I in over my head?" ring a bell at all? Imposter Syndrom is something everyone faces and when you add money or a big deal to the equation, it can feel a lot stronger.

Something I had to learn is that those feelings of anxiety or fear isn’t a bad thing, its the hard **** you need to do to grow. Its pushing your boundaries and stepping out of your comfort zone.

I once heard the quote "Nothing in life worth having is easy, that includes happiness." That really put things into perspective for me and realized it applies to everything we do.

Calling a seller to negotiate a deal? Yeah we're probably going to sound stupid the first few times and get put in our place but if you're learning from it thats a win to me. Every investor or person I consider successful and look up to goes through this, correct me if I'm wrong!

Honestly real estate isnt cheap and had some big legal repercussions so theres going to be fear but it's about looking at your first property, the first flip, or the first time you pitched a potential investor and recognizing the courage it took to take that step. You might not have felt courageous, but you were.

The giants of the industry? Of any industry? They're just people who decided to keep walking one step at a time despite all odds.

When I hear that it really reiterates the importance of breaking down your big goals into smaller actionable steps so you're going up one stair at a time, not tiring yourself skipping 2 or 3 at a time

Do you mean syndrome? 

I'm surprised a small typo really has you stumped on this one. Or you're you're just intentionally putting a negative focus onto a post meant to help and relieve people. I wish you a happier life brother, sometimes the bigger picture is worth paying attention to

 Since you're calling me out, you misspelled it twice then. Once would have been a "small typo." I was actually clarifying that you weren't referring to something I hadn't heard of with "syndrom." I'm plenty happy, lol.

 I wish you the best in your spelling correcting endeavors and hope it yields the life of design you're striving for. Thank you for the engagement

 You're welcome.
