A lot of the times when we think about self-doubt, we blame the sole culprit to the internal dialogue we have in our heads. We question our ability to do things, to rise up to an opportunity where we can level up and shy away when we are confronted with the first signs of growing pains. We don’t realize that a lot of the self-doubt we experience can stem from the people we surround ourselves with. Sometimes a comment here or there from a trusted loved one — confidante, a can derail our progress rapidly because of their own scarcity mindset.

Growing your creative business will likely be one of the most rewarding ventures you will ever take on, but that doesn’t mean it won’t come with its own challenges. If you have noticed a creeping sense of imposter syndrome, creative block, or uncharacteristic tiredness, you may be experiencing the busy entrepreneur’s worst nightmare — burnout. Those who are growing their own business or working from home are naturally at an increased risk of burnout; without the opportunity to ‘go home’ at the end of the day, it can be difficult to ever fully switch off.
