The Top Article of the Week
Stop. Do you read this list week after week?
Yeah? Awesome. Now let me ask you this -- why do you read it? Is it because deep down some tiny part of you maybe, kind-of... thinks you're a fraud, just waiting to be exposed?
That, my friend, is what we call impostor syndrome. We've highlighted it on this list before, and today we'll do it again. Look, impostor syndrome -- that feeling that you've duped everyone around you into thinking your legit -- strikes in every profession, but it's particularly pervasive in the personal training industry. Why? Because there is no "right" way to do almost any part of the job.
So here's what I want you to do:
1) Read Jon Goodman's article linked above and get your confidence straight.
2) Tear through the rest of this week's list as usual -- except do so not because you're a fraud. Do so because you're an awesome trainer, and you're committed to becoming even more awesome.
