Imposter Syndrome vs Growth Mindset

Adam Grant tweets

Impostor syndrome: “I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s only a matter of time until everyone finds out.”

Growth mindset: “I don’t know what I’m doing yet. It’s only a matter of time until I figure it out.”

The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.

I have an article and video entitled, How To Rapidly Build Your Skill (And Start Getting Paid)

Included there is this list of successful people who have admitted to feeling like a fraud at one time or another 👇

  • Neil Armstrong
  • Jodie Foster
  • John Steinbeck
  • Meryl Streep
  • Chris Martin
  • Tina Fey
  • Cheryl Strayed
  • Elizabeth Gilbert
  • Jennifer Lopez
  • Daniel Radcliffe
  • Lady Gaga
  • Emma Watson
  • Denzel Washington
  • Sheryl Sandberg
  • Tom Hanks

So if you ever feel like an imposter, congratulations, you’re in great company.

And that feeling doesn’t have to stop you doing what you want to do 😉
