#10 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲: 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘁 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂

If the S-Curve (#9 post) taught us anything, it’s this:
𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀.

But what holds us back from leaping to that next curve?

𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗲.

That voice that says:
“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺.”
“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥.”
“𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭 - 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦, 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵.”

Imposter Syndrome convinces you to wait…
...and keep waiting...
Until you’re certain.
Until you're confident.
But if you wait to feel 100% ready - you may wait forever.

Because the truth is, growth rarely comes after you've mastered a role.
It comes while you're still fumbling, learning, and stretching into something new.

So the next time an opportunity appears, don’t let your inner critic have the final say.
Raise your hand.
Volunteer.
Say, ‘Yes, I’d love to lead/investigate/do that’.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀.
𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

It’s not about being the perfect fit.
It’s about being bold enough to try.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

And that voice of doubt?
It’s not proof you’re not qualified or capable.
It’s proof that you’re stretching toward something new - something exciting, challenging and a little scary!
You're standing at the start of your next S-Curve.

So the real question is:
𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆?
