🚀 Investing in Myself: Facing Fear & Going All In
Ever get so excited to start something new, only to have self-doubt show up like an uninvited guest? 😩🙃
Last week, I made a huge decision: I invested in coaching to help me grow my business. I know I’m capable, but that sneaky little voice in the back of my head keeps whispering, “Are you sure you can do this?” 🤯
Sound familiar? Here’s the thing:
💡 Investing in yourself isn’t reckless—it’s necessary.
💡 Fear doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re leveling up.
💡 You’re not alone—so many of us battle imposter syndrome when we take big steps!
This week, I’m sending out pitch emails 📩, working through my doubts, and reminding myself that every step forward counts.
Now, I want to hear from you:
🔥 How do you push past imposter syndrome?
🔥 Have you ever second-guessed yourself after starting something new?
Hit reply and let’s chat! I’d love to hear your experience. 💬✨
