Once in a while I stumble upon a book that absolutely turns my mind around when I least expect it.  In this case, it's The World According to Mister Rogers and by Fred Rogers who helped a lot of people lead the most remarkable life they ever imagined.  So many wonderful stories, anecdotes, and insights that we can all learn from, especially this one:

"If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person."

That's exactly how we feel about our WPO meetings.

Do You Battle Impostor Syndrome?

What is imposter syndrome? It's having unproductive thoughts about yourself and your capabilities.  Here's what Kat Ambrose at Fast Company wrote after she had reached a milestone in her freelance writing career:
Seemingly out of nowhere, negative thoughts and voices popped up. You don’t deserve this. You had someone help you. This doesn’t count. You don’t know what you’re doing. You’re not a writer.
Ambrose was experiencing impostor syndrome, the belief that one is inadequate, a failure, or a fraud despite proof of success.  She goes on to say that impostor syndrome shows its ugly head in three different facets of entrepreneurship—in client work, when growing business, and in professional development.

See what else she unearthed and determine whether you fall into any of these gnarly traps.
