Striving for perfection is usually the greatest excuse for not pursuing ideas. What you need to realise is that perfectionism is often just imposter syndrome in disguise.
Welcome to The Psychology of Entrepreneurship, a candid and revealing series that follows Ronsley Vaz and his guests, as they strive to unravel the inner workings of the entrepreneurial mind and explain why even the most successful among us experience Imposter Syndrome.
If you are someone who is holding back, feeling unworthy of your success or questioning your competency as a professional, this podcast is for you.
In this volume, Ronsley is speaking with Laura Petersen, the woman with the entrepreneurial alter ego affectionately named ‘Laptop Laura.’ Laura is the ex-teacher turned serial entrepreneur, podcaster and international best-selling author.
Her outstanding book ‘Copywriting for Podcasters,’ was written in just 30 days, and instantly hit the #1 Bestseller and Hot New Release list in the U.S. and Canada.
In 2016, Laura took the idea of writing books to a new level and developed the brand CopyThatPops, a literary hub that helps other thought leaders use authorship to establish credibility, make an impact, and grow their brand.
Laura knows the “Imposter Syndrome Monster” intimately. It has allowed her to doubt her abilities and question her every move so in this volume Ronsley and Laura discuss the pressures of wanting to be extraordinary. They look at how perfectionism stops us from initiating amazing ideas and how authenticity positions you as an authority figure within your industry.
