Do You Have Imposter syndrome?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with GREAT NEWS. It’s OK to feel like you don’t have it all together when 1st starting out.

Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they’re deserving of accolades.

Knowing that you might be experiencing imposter syndrome is half the battle. Once you determine that you are suffering from feelings of self-doubt, being a fraud, fear of failure or “being found out,” you can begin to explore the reasons why. Consider the situations or behaviors that bring up these feelings and observe what they physically feel like in your body.

Why do people experience impostor syndrome?

There’s no single answer. Some experts believe it has to do with personality traits—like anxiety or neuroticism—while others focus on family or behavioral causes.

One of the first steps to overcoming impostor feelings is to acknowledge the thoughts and put them in perspective.

Perfectionists set excessively high goals for themselves, and when they fail to reach a goal, they experience major self-doubt and worry about measuring up. Whether they realize it or not, this group can also be control freaks, feeling like if they want something done right, they have to do it themselves.

Learn to take your mistakes in stride, viewing them as a natural part of the process.

The Superwoman/man

Since people who experience this phenomenon are convinced they’re phonies amongst real-deal colleagues, they often push themselves to work harder and harder to measure up. But this is just a false cover-up for their insecurities, and the work overload may harm not only their own mental health, but also their relationships with others.

Start training yourself to veer away from external validation. No one should have more power to make you feel good about yourself than you.

The Natural Genius

People with this competence type believe they need to be a natural “genius.” As such, they judge their competence based ease and speed as opposed to their efforts. In other words, if they take a long time to master something, they feel shame.

These types of imposters set their internal bar impossibly high, just like perfectionists. But natural genius types don’t just judge themselves based on ridiculous expectations, they also judge themselves based on getting things right on the first try. When they’re not able to do something quickly or fluently, their alarm sounds.

The Expert

Experts measure their competence based on “what” and “how much” they know or can do. Believing they will never know enough, they fear being exposed as inexperienced or unknowledgeable.

Start practicing just-in-time learning. This means acquiring a skill when you need it.

We all have some of these. We need to take our time, think about how to handle each sitution. Being able to identify and using the right training will help you become more relaxed in your skin.

You are here to make money, RIGHT? Money was on my mind a lot when I 1st got started. Making money keeps us going while building those relationships.

Money helps us to buy solo ads, coop clicks and upgrade to different businesses. Money builds our business so we can help others. It pays our bills, go on vactions, buy things we need to keep our homes running smoothly.

Money is a tool to use wisely. We are to LOVE people and use money, not love money and use people.

You don’t have to be the  person smartest in the room to be an influencer, but you do have to understand and practice some key techniques.

You are your own brand, and the brand for your business. Thus it behooves you to do everything you can to be perceived as an influencer.

Here are 6 key factors to influence people in business.

Understand the decision cycle.

People move through six predictable stages. Your task is merely to listen and learn.

Establish trust. Build an image of likability and rapport.

If people don’t trust you, they won’t allow you to influence them. A smart, simple way to establish trust is to talk less and listen more.

Create urgency. Highlight your interest in helping and giving back

Four out of five people readily admit that something in their life requires a change. Influence requires urgency.  Ask probing questions that help people to consider the issue. Help them see their urgency in the matter.

Gain commitment. Establish yourself as an authority in your domain.

Most people don’t just show up ready to commit to change—There needs to be a moment of truth, a moment of commitment. Ask the most important question never asked: “Are you committed to making a change?”

Initiate change. Demonstrate your commitments and consistency.

We’ve all heard the saying, “You only have one chance to make a first impression.” The best openers include softer words and phrases, such as ask you, listen to you, or need your help.

Overcome objections.

It’s human nature for people to resist change. People are more likely to change their minds if they have at least one objection. To overcome any objection you must you must clarify, clarify, clarify.

“DON’T ARGUE EVER”. Always point out what they will benefit from, ease their problems and move them on to success.

BE THE BEST YOU, YOU CAN BE

Are You Practicing To Make Perfect?

Hello Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with AWESOME news. It is really a daily amount of energy to make perfect work for you.

This can be a life long drudgery if not careful. So let’s keep a positive attitude.

Mention: https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/practice-makes-perfect.html

Practice makes perfect. Personal mentor holding up a white card with a reminder Practice makes perfect stock photo

Practice is about applying an idea, belief or method rather than the theories related to it. Practice is also about repeatedly performing an activity to become skilled in it.

How long did it take for you to learn to ride your bike, learn to swim, ski, play a musical instrument?

Do you remember tying your shoes, putting your coat on?

Writing your 1st paper for english?

Everything we do takes practice, so take a deep breath and let’s begin your walking out a plan to run your own business.

We see that anyone who wants to learn and improve needs to commit time and effort to practise, to notice what works and doesn’t, to keep training until a routine is improved, perfected. Make sense?

What trainging ( vidoes) are you looking into? What books are you reading? “How to win friends and influence people”. What MENTOR are you asking to help you?

What does practice do for you? 

Practice enables you to broaden your repertoire, to deepen your knowledge, insight and capability. 

It’s like driving a car. You stick the key into the ignition and turn it to start the engine. Let it warm up. If you need to back up, move the shifter into R for reverse. Slowly back up unto you get the car where you can go forward. Then move the shifter into d for drive. Add pressure on the gas pedal .

Most of us would think this is silly because we have been doing this a long time. For those 1st starting out this could be terrifying.

The people we help in business don’t have a real sense of what they need to do. It’s our job to GUIDE and DIRECT THEM. Get them the material for them to practice on.

Deliberately practicing new behavior has three effects: 1) you get better at doing it, which increases the odds that you will be successful at it when it matters,  2) you start to replace the old habits with new ones, and 3) you develop the habit of replacing old habits!

The more you practice new ways of doing things, the more naturally they’ll come. I loved running. I began slowly for months. Over time I was running 8 miles a day. I had to stop as it wore my knees out and I had double-knee surgery. I miss that level of commitment to fitness which I replaced with low work resistence. Walking, skipping rope, stretches.

Purposeful practice is the primary contributing factor to excellence in life. To be a truly practised at a skill or habit, hours of sustained practice are required – 10,000 hours. SAY WHAT? You mean spending that many hours to aquire a skill? Yes,Yes, and Yes.

 Practice and learning from that practice is fundamental.

At this level of competence, you have developed what is described as reflection-in-action, where you are critically aware of what you are doing. I beleive I have reached this level and continue to hone my skills to improve daily action.

What happens when we learn? One possibility is that we acquire greater skill at applying our initial strategy to the problem at hand, making it more efficient. Another possibility is that we acquire a new, more efficient strategy.

The more we apply our mindset to practice the more we have new ideas for moving us to where we want to be. Practice is a daily habit which lasts a lifetime.

If At First You Don’t Succeed-TRY TRY AGAIN

The World Says “No”.

While the world laughs at us saying “you can’t make money online“, a select group of us are making a great living from online marketing.

Greetings Everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with good news.

Making a living online is here to stay but takes a lot of effort, time and money. YOU must be willing to LEARN as you go. You then need to impliment what you just learned.

I have learned to do Youtube videos, lead capture pages along with thank you pages. Learning to lazer target traffic, creating solo ads and talking to people daily.

Tracking your results lets you know what is working and what’s not.

If you are going to build your list, you will have to talk and build your relationships with your people. Know, Like, Trust.

We don’t sell to people, even though there is a product. We sell the dream. We solve problems. Learn to be the “GO TO” person.

I have to say this right up front. We have something for every online marketer. Using all the tools is what sets us apart from the run of the mill marketer.

Why is it important to make wise decisions?

You’re faced with new decisions every hour of every day.

Sometimes, it’s as simple as choosing which shoes to wear to work.

But when important moments that require decisive action come around, it can be difficult to make the right decision without a process to do so.

Leave yourself some space to reflect on your mistakes (and successes). You won’t learn from your mistakes if you don’t take the time to reflect on them.

Analyze your own self-confidence. Try not to overthink. This can become a problem that leads to indecision. Don’t shy away from your mistakes.

Examine the opposite of your decision

Before moving forward with what you feel is your final decision, make sure you’ve considered the complete opposite. 

Ask for feedback

There is a delicate balance you should be cautious of when asking for feedback during your decision process. Some feedback can be highly valuable, especially if it comes from people who have been in your same situation and can tell you about their outcome. It’s also effective to ask for feedback from those who you will directly affect by your decision.

Stay true to your values

When you stay true to your values during the decision-making process, it should be easier to see the path in front of you.

I pray you see this info and use it daily. We all need help from time to time. Building relationships lasts a lifetime.

We Are The CHAMPIONS.

Never Say CAN’T!

When I look around and think to myself, I really can’t do this, am I really not able to do something or is it to hard or am I being a bit lazy? Do I not have the skill yet?

Salutations everyone, Michael The Traveling Trucker with today’s thought provoking communication.

Jen was born without legs and abandoned at the hospital,Yet she says being put up for adoption was a blessing.” I am here because of people who poured into me.”

Her adoptive family hepled her to see she was ” born like this for a reason.” They raised her to ” never say can’t” and encourged her in all her pursuits- including becoming an accomplished acrobat and aerialist!

She meets challenges with the attitude of ” How can I tackle this ?” and motivates others to do the same.

Do you feel like this or do you say I can’t? Do you follow the leader or set the pace for others to follow?

Example: No words. Just music and moving. During a 24 hour Zumba marathon amid the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of people from around the globe worked out togehter and virtually followed instructors from India, China. Mexico, America, South Africa, and parts of Europe, and several other places.

These diverse indivuals were able to move together without any language barriers. Why?

Because instructors of the exercise craze Zumba, created in the mid-1990’s by a columbian aerobics instructor, utilized nonverbal cues to communicate. Class instructors move and students follow with no words uttered or shouted.

Teaching is meant to be a very enjoyable and rewarding. Make your lessons come alive by making it as interactive and engaging as possible. Let your passion for teaching shine through each and everyday. Enjoy every teaching moment to the fullest. ( Janet Legere is QUEEN)

“With great power, comes great responsibility” One of your goals ought to be: Make a difference in the lives of people. Make them feel special, safe and secure.

Bring positive energy into your business teachings every single day. Always remember that positive energy is contagious and it is up to you to spread it. Don’t let other people’s negativity bring you down with them.

In my world I need the words. I need encouragement, and sometimes step by step instructions. I have adopted the never say CAN’T attitude. There are days when I need to learn a new skill. Yes it might be hard, but persistence is key! “I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.”

Today, learning is fun and exciting. Being a leader has helped me to offer assistance to others who need to learn a new skill.Sharing what we know is living life on our terms. We all need people.

When you are delivering a lesson, GIVE 100%. Give 100% for yourself and for your students. Never give up and try your best – that’s all that you can do.
