EP211: Taking Back Control - How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

The Business of Becoming with Lori Kennedy

We have a really special episode for you today.

We are talking about something that I know a lot of practitioners and coaches and entrepreneurs struggle with, and that is feeling not ready, and feeling like an imposter.

I know I struggled with it. I know a lot of people struggle with it and so I was so honored to be able to have Jyotsna on the podcast to speak about taking the control back into your hands, and overcoming the dreaded imposter syndrome.

Jyotsna was able to become a bestselling author, and form her very own publishing agency - Happy Self Publishing, and founded her own academy, Author Success Academy.

In this episode, Jyotsna speaks about the never-ending cycle that impostor syndrome can trap you in, leading you to ask yourself:

• Why should people listen to me?
• What makes me the expert?
• I don't have millions of dollars or years of experience, so why should I be the authority?

If you have felt this negative thought cycle in your career or business, this is the podcast episode for you.

More About Jyotsna: Jyotsna is a bestselling author, book publisher, TEDx speaker, and is an international Author Success Coach who helps coaches, trainers, speakers, and experts to build a super-profitable author funnel with the help of their book.

She founded Author Success Academy to help aspiring authors finally finish their book, get it professionally published, market it into a bestseller, and use that position to grow their business.

So far, Jyotsna has helped over 400 authors from 35 different countries through her global publishing agency, Happy Self Publishing. While Jyotsna isn’t working, this mom of 2 kids also loves to dance, run, plan her next solo trip, and is a passionate advocate for educational rights.
