Transcript<\/h3>\n

Scott Ingram: You\u2019re listening to the Daily Sales Tips podcast and I\u2019m your host, Scott Ingram. I had an experience recently that really showed me that imposter syndrome is a very real thing that affects almost everyone. This happens when you might have some advice or a suggestion to share with a larger audience, but think something along the lines of: \u201cwho am I to be sharing this?\u201d You\u2019d be surprised how many of the top 1% level performers that I\u2019ve interviewed on the Sales Success Stories podcast<\/a> who think this way, and if I\u2019m honest it affects me as well. Heck, I didn\u2019t really share many of my own thoughts for the first couple of years of hosting that podcast. Instead, I just focused on other people and their stories and just asked the questions. This show has forced me to share more and more of my own thoughts, mostly because I don\u2019t have enough tips to exclusively share other people\u2019s ideas, but I think it\u2019s a good thing. It\u2019s important to realize that we all have something of value to share and shouldn\u2019t be afraid to share it. We may not be the foremost expert in the world on a particular topic, but even if the idea helps just one other person, isn\u2019t it worth it? This process of getting your ideas out there and sharing the things that have helped you has the added benefit of clarifying your own thinking. Just like the best way to develop true mastery isn\u2019t just to do something, but to teach others how to do it. So if you find yourself thinking you\u2019re an imposter, know that it\u2019s super common. You\u2019re not alone, and you should share because it will help others and you\u2019ll help yourself in the process.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s always an opportunity for you to step out of your comfort zone and do that here. Everyone is welcome to submit a tip to be featured on this show, and I challenge you to do just that. On the DailySales.Tips<\/a> website there\u2019s a link right at the top of every page with the instructions on how to \u201cSubmit a Sales Tip<\/a>.\u201d Will you do it? Even though you might feel like an imposter? Give it a shot. I\u2019ll bet you can help someone, or more likely, lots of someones.<\/p>\n

Then come back tomorrow for another great sales tip. Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
