In my earlier years as an entrepreneur, I worked tirelessly to build a thriving 7-figure business. I laboured round the clock, even while on vacation, believing that the sacrifices were necessary to achieve my dreams.
However, in the midst of my hustle and grind, a moment of profound realization dawned upon me. Despite my substantial earnings and apparent success, I felt hollow and unfulfilled. It was as if no matter how far I stretched myself, I wasn’t enough. The costs of this outward success became clear as my health and relationships began to deteriorate.
Loneliness began to envelop me, and everything in my life, including my financial prosperity, seemed to take a hit. I fell prey to the marketing lures of various ‘gurus’ who claimed that their ‘thing’ would make me feel sufficient. This insatiable quest for betterment – being smart enough, pretty enough, successful enough – led me to invest in countless business enhancement tools that promised transformative results, only to find they had no lasting impact.
One fateful day, I confided in a respected acquaintance about my inner turmoil. Her response marked a turning point in my life: she said, ‘Me too.’ Here was this successful woman, mirroring my feelings of inadequacy. I was astounded. I realized then that if both she and I shared these emotions, there must be countless other women in the same predicament.
Engaging in subsequent dialogues with accomplished professional and entrepreneurial women, I found that they too grappled with feelings of inadequacy, constantly comparing themselves to others and harbouring feelings of envy. Many were paralyzed by the dreaded ‘imposter syndrome,’ thwarting them from living their best lives.
Echoes of their stories resonated with my own. A significant amount of time, money, and faith had been invested in the latest strategies, and yet, nothing had fundamentally changed.
Through introspection, I came to understand that the answer was not working harder (I was already pushing my limits) or finding a new strategy. Instead, what was required was a slight shift in perspective – a reevaluation of my ‘mindset.’
As Albert Einstein wisely said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” The journey to self-realization, healing, and true success begins with changing our mindsets.
I had a very successful 7 figure business by working as hard as I could. I even had ‘working’ vacations. I made what I thought were the appropriate sacrifices to own a successful business.
One day, after a series of events and a lot of heartaches I realized that no matter how much money I had earned, no matter how hard I worked, I still felt like I wasn’t enough. Although I had success on the outside, it came at a great cost; my health and my relationships.
I felt alone, I was lonely. Everything was suffering, including, at that time, my bank account.
In fact, I bought into every GURU using their secret marketing messages that I wasn’t’ enough until I bought this THING– you know, their thing! It always felt like, I didn’t know enough, wasn’t smart enough, pretty enough, insert ____ enough. I bought every single new widget out there to build my business and nothing helped long term.
One day, after being so completely open about my struggles with someone I respected but did not know well – she said something that changed my life. She said ‘me too’.
I couldn’t believe it, here was this ‘successful’ woman sitting across from me who felt the same way! My immediate thought was if I feel this way AND she feels this way, there must be other women out there who do as well.
After many conversations with successful professional and entrepreneurial women what I found was that they too suffered from feeling like they weren’t enough, that they were comparing themselves to others, feeling envy even. That many incredible women are feeling the dreaded “imposter syndrome” and it is immobilizing them and preventing these incredible women from leading their best life.
I hear over and over again about people who have invested a lot of time and money in the newest strategy and still nothing has changed. This was what I had been living for so many years.
As I unpacked what I was experiencing I realized that it wasn’t hard work (I couldn’t work any harder), nor was it a new strategy that I needed. What was needed was a slight shift in the way I looked at things. A shift in my ‘mindset’.
