I have the Impostor Syndrome

Like many starting off, I have the impostor syndrome. I often bring myself down, especially when I read articles and posts by other writers. I can’t help but thinking I will never get to their level. 

I commit to endless administrative tasks of planning and scheduling, organizing, preparing to the continuous procrastination of writing as well as many writers out there.

I add books to my Amazon wishlist, I even start reading them, but then it always seems like I always being interrupted by a house chore or by the children. They are like continuous reminders of my inability to stick to the plan and just fulfil.

But then I read other writers and so-called “entrepreneurs” that seem to have the Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, the displaced excessive self-esteem and over-confidence to deliver, and you don’t see anybody talking about that now, do you?

But you see people promising the world-class business that you are looking for even guaranteeing you will be earning a 6-figure income in a matter of weeks, as long as you follow their awesome “schedule” or join in into their Premium Training to become the Freelancing Super-hero that every Freelancer dreams of.

I and you know that nothing is achieved without putting real effort into it. And I want to believe that hard work pays off more than just paying a random stranger to give you a miracle recipe for success or, better yet, to do the work for you.

I’m determined to shift my mind frame from its procrastinating-mode to the accomplishing-mode for 2021. Nuff messing about!

And I Vow

To commit to learning from real-life writers and absorbing all their teachings to achieve my goal.

To network, to read and write (about no matter what), and to ultimately stick to my 2021 planner.
