I ask this every week in class. And I ask you this in a public setting.

“What are you struggling with?”

When you share your struggles, you begin the healing process.

Others don’t perceive you in a negative light.

In fact, it is the opposite; they think how brave you are.

Flashback 6 months ago to our Maximum Growth Members Only Viewing hot seat. We covered a touchy subject of a client receiving gentile herpes from their spouse. Many people commented on her bravery to share such a private issue, publicly.

She didn’t look bad publicly.

In fact, sharing her struggle helped so many more people.

Her story helped me to reach out to a public figure who suffered from herpes, and I was able to share some of the insights from the session. She then signed up for 3 months of coaching on the back of that conversation.

If you foster an experience of trust, openness, and vulnerability with your community, they will share more with you.

I hear from clients that they want real.

So I want to know your struggles.

I want to know what you are hiding that you don’t want the world to know (if it’s imposter syndrome, check out this post from last week).

And if there was a way I could help you, either anonymously in the Ask Me Anything Class or publicly, feel free to fill out the survey here.

I’m not interested in making you look good or bad. It would be impossible to build a business doing this as it goes against universal principles.

What I can do is serve you at speed. I can help you to solve your own problems.

And I can only serve you to the degree you share.

In October we are closing the doors, so if you or anyone you know would like to join Maximum Growth, or you’d love to return to the community and classes again, click on the link to find out more.

With love,

How many times do you hear “fake it until you make it.” ?

And you take the advice and pretend to be better than you are. Then people buy into it and inside you struggle. You wonder if you will be caught on how much you don’t know.

This is the fastest way to imposter syndrome.

How would you ever feel like you are yourself, and that it is ok to make mistakes in your business if you think you have to be the best – and perfect. Or you have to constantly prove yourself to people. It would be exhausting.

Imposter Syndrome is the talk of the town. And many people in business can connect with it.

In our Maximum Growth classes, we are big on finding the problem under the problem. Imposter Syndrome is the label, but what is going on in your psyche to create this way of being?

Here are the top three problems.

1. You are expecting to be an expert at the beginning of your career. Imagine you expected to be a black belt and you were still on your white. Impossible to live up to.
2. You have high standards of yourself, even boarding on perfectionism, which means you struggle to make mistakes.
3. You suffer from comparisonitis and play small to others, which dampens your brightness.

Imposter Syndrome is feedback for you.

It is telling you to let go of trying to be impressive and perfect.

People love being real, they love mistakes and it shows you are human.

If you set incredibly high standards, then you’ll never live up to them and continue the cycle of not feeling enough.

People are always going to be more experienced than you, more beautiful or handsome, have more money, more business. That is life. But it doesn’t have to mean you are not worthy of having all of that too. You just have to work for it.

So hold off on beating yourself down when looking in the mirror and live by this motto – face it until you ace it.

And if you would love help to live your truth, and build a business around what you’d love to share with the world, then join Maximum Growth Membership before our doors close at the end of October. Find out more here.
