Every damn day... I feel that same "Bigbird" (Inferiority) (Impostor) (Not worthy) feelings. For me, they seem to never go away.
I think that's because I am constantly surrounding myself with people who have achieved "the next level" in my journey... and I want to assimilate at their higher level. Because of this, I will forever be in that Bigbird suit.
When I was a "onesy - twosy" SFR (single family home) investor... I surrounded myself with people who had small portfolios.
When I had a small portfolio, I surrounded myself with people with bigger portfolios.
I was always working to improve my skills... therefore, I surrounded myself with stronger / savvier / smarter people.
Professional, as long as I remain transparent and mentally vulnerable, I strive to always be outside my comfort zone.
Thanks for talking through these issues publicly. I'm really enjoying your posts. :)
I'm glad this resonates with you and appreciate you sharing your experience John! I'm a big believer in pushing yourself outside your comfort zone, it's where the most growth happens 🌱
I'm woking on a project that is -wildly- outside my normal scope of work. I have my eye on a 10 story condo conversion project. I feel like "Animal" "Bigbird" and "Miss Piggy" all at once.
but again, I'm surrounding myself with people who have done it before... so I feel like I have good mentors along side me.
But WOOW... This one's a big project. And I feel like such a little fish.
Working with the people over at OpenView must be an almost surreal experience. Rubbing shoulders with billionaire on a daily basis... that must be such a strange (and interesting) place to work. I can't mentally wrap my mind around it. (Everybody Poops... gotta stay grounded. :)
