You read it right. This is a job advertisement.
Of course it isn’t for you. You’re one of those kicks-ass-and-takes-no-names entrepreneurs. You’re proudly unemployable. However, this may be a job you can connect someone to in a suave and sexy networking master move that wins you a loyal friend for life.

But you might know someone who wants the job, and you can be the person to make their life amazing simply by sharing this announcement with them.

I love personal development, but it kinda poisons our minds.
Don’t get me wrong, some of the biggest shifts and growth in my life happened because of a seminar attended, a book read or a coach consulted. That stuff really does work – if you work it.

Your personality type determines your success.
Yikes. That’s an idea that shouldn’t resonate with anyone who reads this blog. Entrepreneurs are notoriously optimistic regarding our ability to overcome the cultural and biological conditioning that prevents us rocketing to success.

“You’re not really an adult at all. You’re just a tall child holding a beer, having a conversation you don’t understand.”

Shhh! Don’t utter the truth: That you tricked your way into success and you don’t really know what you’re doing. That you’re just a tall child holding a beer.
That you’re faking it. That you’re secretly an impostor!
Shh! Turns out, you’re just suffering from Impostor Syndrome. And, it’s good for you.
