Do you sometimes feel like a fraud?

Hi
The temperature is rising here in the UK so on Sunday we scraped the snow off
the car and hopped in to see 'Lincoln,' at the cinema.
I'm a bit of a cry baby but this was deeply moving & my tissue was sopping. If you
know your American history you know the ending so no surprises there
but performances by Daniel D Lewis as Lincoln and Tommy Lee Jones as a radical
republican with fake hair were outstanding. Recommended!
This week's challenge is about 'The Imposter Syndrome.' I thought I'd
identified this disturbing phenomenon but as you'll see in the article it seems not!
Scroll down below to see if you're a sufferer of feeling like a fraud and how
one of the biggest Opera stars in the world is plagued by fear.
In today's Rachel Recommends there are still a few hours to register for
Expert Academy and get $900 worth of my coaching absolutely free
but it closes tonight.
What's in store this week? Check out the Three Essential Elements of

all about the power of Content Syndication and see the schedule for
the next shows on Apple Podcasting to become a multi-channel marketing pro.
Love and success
Rachel

Your Weekly Challenge - Are You Suffering from the Imposter Syndrome?
If you're stepping up as an expert in your niche or 'THE Niche Expert' you might
have days where you feel invincible and days where you think,
'Who am I to do this?'
It's quite normal because for some strange reason our subconscious is programmed
to work against us and often tries to make us feel as though we're useless!
If you find yourself falling into this whirlpool of exhausting despair on a regular basis
you're going to struggle to get the results you want.

you're going to struggle to get the results you want.
I've found this lack of self belief to be much more of a show stopping issue
for most people than learning how to do the stuff they need to do to market
and sell their services and products online.
In my mind I've been calling it The Impostor Complex but after doing a little research
for this article I've discovered that The Impostor Syndrome was first identified

in 1978 by clinical psychologists, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes.

In the one camp you have the people who wrinkle their nose up at the word 'expert,'
In the one camp you have the people who wrinkle their nose up at the word 'expert,'
and complain there are too many self proclaimed experts who don't know what
they're doing.
These are the same people who might say,' those who can't do, teach.'
I've been guilty of saying something similar in the past I'm sure but as a champion
of budding and established Niche Experts I've realized how short sighted that was.
There are after all many gifted teachers in the world who were born to teach just as
there are many gifted artists who would hate to teach and must only do.
My feeling on it is that if you're inspired to teach then teach. It's not an easy option
and you'll need to know your stuff but there's no quicker way to improve than trying

In my work with clients and feedback from subscribers it's become clear to me that
true experts and professionals are in fact much more likely to undersell themselves
and NOT have the courage to share their knowledge.
