What do you do when you feel like a fraud, or just can’t even at another networking event? Businesswoman, fashion designer, and author Sophia Amoruso gives you the tools to deal.
You know what makes everyone confident? Cocaine. Kidding! Don’t do that. I haven’t always been confident. There was a time in my life when I couldn’t focus beyond the thoughts ricocheting around in my head. Are my hands in the right place? Are they onto me? In the world I travel these days, I will never quite feel like belong—like I’m as smart as the company I keep.
I feel like a loser a lot of the time. Like I’m doing what I can until someone figures out that I shouldn’t be doing anything at all. I think it’s what those in the entrepreneurial world call ‘imposter syndrome’. If you’re a true specimen of a narcissist, you’ll never experience this—and if you set the bar super-low for yourself, you’re also in luck. For the rest of us with hopes, dreams, and aspirations, it’s normal.
