Many Successful Leaders Are Full of Self-Doubt. Here's How You Can Use Your Fears to Your Advantage
Everyone thinks I'm a fraud. I'm not cut out for the job. I'm going to fail. I'd be lying if I said I never had thoughts like this. And it wasn't just when I was starting out my company with no money, clients, or a clue of what I was doing. Even after two decades in business and multimillion-dollar revenue, I still catch myself in moments of uncertainty and fear.
Leaders are expected to exude unfaltering confidence at all times, but I'm about to let you in on a little secret: Everyone has
self-doubt. Despite what we've been taught, doubt is not a sign of weakness. In fact, thinking you're a fraud is incredibly normal. And from what I've learned, it can be a
secret weapon to success.
