The Phenomenon of Self Doubt in Entrepreneurs

Coming to this sudden striking understanding (the actual definition for epiphany), my life changed.

Entrepreneurs deal (in my belief) with more self doubt than any other person particularly because they ship so many ideas out into the world. As internet marketers, entrepreneurs and.. quite frankly.. creators, I know you guys deal with a ton of discomfort; so do I, it's absolutely the nature of the beast.

I wrote a useful post about entrepreneurs and self doubt, inspired by a post Tim Ferriss did about this same subject.

We definitely experience it more, but knowing that alone, helps me to get over it quick. Since we put ourselves out there more, the criticism and opinions are sure to fly in! The mind tends to second guess itself even when 1 comment comes in that makes us feel a bit inept. The great part?

You can get increasingly better at dealing with it. That's what makes a superpreneur (a superstar entrepreneur)!

    You are correct. One of the things that I find most difficult is taming all the ideas that I get for businesses. I have to really focus at what I’m doing or I’m off in different directions. The one difficulty for beginning entrepreneur is out sourcing. In the beginning you are all employees and all bosses.

    When you are doing all jobs it’s very easy to fall upon disappointments, the key is to shake it off and try again.
