888. Listener Q&A: Navigating Imposter Syndrome

We’re answering two listener questions today about navigating imposter syndrome and figuring out where to focus your energy. Lauren and I agree that imposter syndrome isn’t necessarily a bad thing一it’s actually a sign of growth and proof that you’re evolving. We talk about how we approach uncharted territory in business with a curious and confident mindset. We also discuss how we prioritize things on our to-do lists and why it’s so important to write things out. One of our go-to methods is to map out our timelines, which helps us feel less overwhelmed with everything that’s on our plate. Plus, I break down exactly how to grow your revenue and audience at the same time.

887. Do Your Standards Match Your Goals?

Does your current routine match the standards that it takes to hit your life goals? What about your environment and the people that you surround yourself with? Chris and I have been noticing that there are gaps between where we want to be and where we currently are, and we’re discussing the tangible ways that we’re closing those gaps. I realized that I was giving myself a lot of space for excuses by working from home, so I’ve switched up my workflow and I’ve already noticed a major difference in my productivity. Chris is celebrating a weight loss milestone and shares how he got there by committing to his health goals.
