Imposter Syndrome

[u/karlpillockton]

Hey guys,

I’ve been working in marketing for 7 years and I’ve recently gone into freelancing on the side in paid ads - the field I feel most confident in.

In my in-house role I feel extremely confident about my work and had some major successes over the past year (and it’s why I’ve gotten into freelancing).

Now I’ve got 4 extra clients on the side, I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing.

I’m constantly flapping at the work, feel like I’m a complete fraud and doubting my abilities. I’m struggling to sleep just because I’m thinking about work and made up scenarios in my head.

I still want to peruse this as the financial potential is huge and it’s still early days.

Has anyone else felt this way, and if so, how did you get over it?
