Episode 140: How Imposter Syndrome is Keeping You Stuck in Your Design Business

September 9, 2020

Imposter syndrome is a common mental block that designers wrestle with, but we need to remember that this is a recipe for inconsistent work in your business. Do you oftentimes find yourself fighting with feeling like an imposter?

You are not alone in the struggle.

Imposter Syndrome Will Roadblock Your Business

While we’re telling ourselves we’re not good enough, we are telling ourselves that we have to settle for less.

This becomes a vicious cycle of listening to that tiny little voice telling us we aren’t enough, allowing those thoughts to come through and force us to carry ourselves in the industry in a way that positions ourselves without confidence. Therefore, our colleagues don’t see our worth or value.

How we see ourselves directly relates to how our peers see us. If we aren’t confident in ourselves and our work, how can we expect them to see us in a similar light.

Comfort & Trust Are Everything

That same concept of carrying yourself with confidence in the industry is also impacting your potential clients. If they don’t feel comfort or trust with you, they’ll hesitate to invest in you (big or small).

Creating Consistent & Higher Income

When you build out confidence in your work, you can begin to charge more and book fewer clients at a higher price point so you can experience freedom. Freedom in work. Freedom in life. And freedom from imposter syndrome.

My name is Bonnie – I’m a brand designer, strategist, and writer which all adds up to one eclectic conglomeration of qualities that enables me to serve you well! Past clients have dubbed me "the Joanna Gaines of brand design," and I've had more than a few call me a dream maker, a game changer, and a design wizard (my Harry Potter-loving heart didn't hate that one, let me tell you!). At the end of the day, I'm a big-hearted creative who will get teary-eyed as you share the heart behind your business; who will lose sleep over the perfect font pairings and color selections to bring your brand to life visually; and who will work tirelessly to empower, encourage, and equip you to share your work with the world intentionally.
