I speak 8 languages but imposter syndrome makes me feel like I don’t even speak 1- thanks for this 💕

Just remember that being an "expert" has become synonymous with perfection and having a master level of knowledge. Which is a total BS, because no matter how well you know your craft, there are always new things to learn and adopt. *Learning by doing*

True. Even the more you know the more you feel you don't know. I humble myself and I keep on learning because there are a lot of things need to learn. Learning is a continues process.

I love this, Vanessa! I am further identifying my niche because of my KZfaq videos. Due to the hate I've received on my most recent video, I've realize that Etsy sellers may not really be a part of my niche like I originally thought. Everyone who understood my video was open to the idea I was proposing... moving off the Etsy platform, even though it's HARD work to create a website/generate traffic yourself... Due to the two very different reactions towards my video, I'm realizing I want to work with the people who are willing to put the hard work, not the ones that waste time crying over Etsy's changing policies, but don't think taking matters into their own hands is possible for them... no more Etsy content for me, more content about up-leveling and taking control of your business. Posting content has definitely gotten me closer to defining my niche.

I don't think I'm an expert and yet I'm seeing people who are making youtube videos on Etsy selling who have a fraction of my sales! But I always think I'll get negative feedback if I start bragging of my 1000s of sales. Its so true what you say that its just our mindset!

Thanks for the info. Being a young Entrepreneur it is always intimidating to offer advice and mentor, because we feel inadequate. I have come to realize that age is just a number and the most important thing is experience. We cannot give what we don't have no matter how old we are.

I didn't know I had imposter syndrome until I watched this video XD Yes! I have felt every single thing you mentioned about things being too basic and me not being qualified. Probably the biggest take away from this video is investing in myself. Due to lack of finance, my mindset has always been to DIY eveything but I have now reached the point where I need someone from steps 678 to guide me along the path I want to take. Your words are helpful to students and mentors alike. Sending many many love your way! Thank you for giving voice to all our doubts and giving practical advice with it

Awesome advice as always Vanessa - such a sensitive spot for me and many.

The need to be "an Expert" is relative to Your role with your client. (Coach, Advisor, Trainer, Consultant, etc.) The Best Coaches are Experts at asking the right questions, Listening and Guiding others to finding Their Own Best answer. If You are the "Subject Matter/Industry" expert, there's a good chance you're leaning more towards a Trainer/Consultant/Advisor role, these are secondary roles for Coaching. Understanding the difference often eliminates this type of self doubt. The most important thing is to be real and honest with Yourself and with your clients. I hope that's helpful. I want to say Thank you and Great job to you Vanessa. I was introduced to you last week from a client who liked your content. After watching a few videos, I suggested she subscribe to your channel, keep watching and actively engage. Good Stuff, keep it up, Everyone benefits from quality content like yours.

I think you were in my head last night. I was thinking about this very topic. I was starting to think that I am not an expert in what I want to talk about so how can I do this. I know the beginning stages but not level 4 and above. I would say not even level 3 and above. Thank you so much for making this video. I believe God gave you this topic to talk about just for me. This is so epic for me that I need to listen to it again and take notes right now. 😀

Once again, YOU ARE KILLIN' IT, VANESSA! This video is literally a life-saver as I just kickstart my online coaching project. I have been constantly dealing with "do I suffice enough to share my value?" and other juddering self-doubt which cripple me along the way. I don't believe in coincidence at all hence I am very certain your video published exactly at the moment I am the most in need of such booster! And I cannot wait for your next week video!

Excellent! Thank you for posting this. You have really encouraged me. I have years of knowledge from my experiences of being on TV singing and winning competitions to being an actress on screen and stage and still never give myself credit for my years of accomplishments enough to believe I can coach others. It’s really sad how many of us are literal experts but feel like imposters while others have significantly less knowledge and experience but own what they do have. I want their confidence. Clearly, I must get my own. I am going to get my own even if I have to watch this video everyday. You have truly encouraged me. You Rock!

Great information Vanessa!! I have struggled with this very thing, who am I to be putting out these words of inspiration? Some of it is my own experiences but a lot of it is what knowledge I’ve acquired through osmosis through my learnings of others. So thank you for this because it was right on time. I’ve gotten lots of feedback from my audience about how my daily posts inspire them or how they connected to the message that day and I need to continue to listen because it’s apparent i am doing what I’ve set out to do and that brings me pure joy. Always enjoy your videos!! Keep it up!!

I am so glad that you didn't niche down from the beginning. Your earlier videos have so much value. The social media videos are on trend so there is a good chance that they will be popular, but so many people do those videos. Your transparency and honesty in your earlier videos for viewers gives them a chance to get to know. Gives people a chance to build a trust. Cause I've caught you early I have subscribed and learned a lot and trust you vs clicking on those social media channels I don't follow them. I click for info for what I need. I thought that your earlier videos were pretty niche from my perspective I see growth. Your earlier videos are good grounding and take off videos. I see you building a relationship with your viewers, which I personally think is so important than videos that just had info with not much personality behind it. Love this video amazing content.

This is ME!!! I was starting to write a book about voice coaching but I keep buying books and courses on the same topic yet never feel entitled enough to teach others about this. This video is the cure for peeps like me, Vanessa! Btw, are you based in Canada? I was having a discussion with one of my students on the pronunciation of the word "associate". I speak American English and have only heard it said assoSHiate, but my friend says her British friend says assoSiate and you did in the video, too, so I was thinking maybe it's the British style...including Canada. Anyway, I'll follow your advice 100%!
