If you need help figuring this out, I created The $5K Breakthrough System, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours.
You have 45 unpublished videos, 20 unfinished blog posts, 10 certificates, maybe even a PhD - but you still feel "not enough" to charge your worth or show up consistently. Here's the truth nobody tells you: feeling "not enough" is actually PERFECT for your business. In this raw episode, I reveal why you're hiding behind courses, over-educating yourself, and waiting for perfect conditions that will never come. Stop trying to heal from "not enough" before taking action - you can feel inadequate AND move forward simultaneously. I share my client's story: 16 clients in one week after she stopped proving herself and started serving. Your spark, your story, your "enough-ness" is what people need. Move anyway. #impostersyndrome #entrepreneurmindset #selfdoubt
