It was June of 2021 when my life changed forever.

I was in a coffee shop and on a call with a potential copywriting client.

The internet connection was shitty, my heart was racing, and I had no idea what in the f#%k I was doing.

But by some divine miracle, the Giga Chads in the sky were looking out for me.The prospect told me she wanted to work with me.

"Holy shit..." I thought to myself.

I was amazed. Someone valued my "expertise" enough to pay me a whole whopping $250.

But shortly after getting off the call, my stomach sank and a surge of anxiety slapped me.

There was a problem...

I felt like an imposter

I knew I was a decent writer, but in my head, a negative voice wouldn't shut up.

"Can I actually do this?" would play over and over in my mind.

I wish I could say I looked in the mirror, had a pep talk, and everything was fine and dandy...

But honestly, I doubted myself the whole time during that project.

I must have spent a good 18 hours researching, writing, editing, deleting, and rewriting.

However... I finished the project. Was it the best copy in the world? Nah. But it was solid for a beginner. Worth a helluva lot more than $250.

So, why am I telling you this story?

• Wondering what you're doing.

• Feeling like you're not good enough.

And that's a good thing...

You're supposed to feel like an imposter.

So I acknowledged the feeling, did the best work I could, and published the tweets and threads for the client.

The result?

6000+ likes on the 1st thread and 2000+ followers in 2 days.

All because I said "screw it" and embraced being an imposter.

Now I have a new identity, a better one.

Anxiety turned into confidence.

And because of this, I was able to use that confidence and land a different client for $25,000.

From $250 clients to $25K clients within a year.

Now, I'm not saying it's easy, but I am saying it's normal.

You're doing something you've never done before. Your brain is trying to protect you from "danger" and "failure."

But realize, this is necessary for long-term confidence and your evolution as a person. By the end of it, you'll be stronger for pushing ahead despite your feelings.

So, my friend, embrace the feeling of being an imposter.

Because you are ;)

P.S.

If you feel like an imposter as a writer and want to build your confidence + skills, my friend Charles (WritingToRiches) just released a new course.

In it, he breaks down the fundamentals of persuasive writing, viral tweets, and copywriting principles.

He's one of the most competent writers I know and has delivered a high-quality course with no fluff.

He also hooked me up with a $100 discount code for ya'll. But only for the 1st 200 people to order. He also gave me this code a day ago, so realistically there's probably like 20 or 30 codes left.
