Yesterday, I wrote about the Edmonton Oilers not indulging Imposter Syndrome here.

The gist:

❌ "Who are we to win the Stanley Cup?"
❌ "We're just hockey players from small-pond Canada."
❌ "Let's not make the Panthers look bad by beating them in 4 straight games."

... 

You can see how unproductive thinking this way would be (if you wanted to win).

... 

Here's Imposter Syndrome's kissing cousin – Toxic Impossibility Syndrome. 

In the accounting industry, it sounds like:

• "There's no way you can actually work less and make more money."

• "Clients won't pay that – do you think you're special?”

• “If you’re not grinding, you’re lazy.”

• “If that were a smart idea, everyone would be doing it.”

• “That’s a lifestyle business. You’re just a mom with a side hustle.”

 ...

You can see how unproductive exposing yourself to these thoughts would be (if you wanted to work less and make more).

...

Toxic Impossibility Syndrome. 

It's on many surfaces. 

Overexposure might kill your dreams.
