🌪️ Imposter Syndrome: “Who am I to do this?”

Ever caught yourself thinking things like:

• “I’m not tech-savvy enough for this”
• “Everyone else probably knows more than me”
• “I’m not a real business owner yet”

This is called Imposter Syndrome and it’s incredibly common. It happens when we feel like we don’t belong, even when we do. Mistakes, questions, and confusion are all part of the process. They're signs of progress, not failure.
