Imposter syndrome is a real struggle for many, and for me, calling myself a coach was one of the hardest things I had to do. I never saw myself that way. It wasn’t until a good friend of mine, someone who worked closely with me at the compound, pointed it out. He said, “I’ve been watching you for years, and all you do is coach other people.” I hadn’t even realized it. I guess I never put a title to what I was passionate about.

I’ve always loved talking about entrepreneurship. It excites me—my whole demeanor changes. My voice goes from calm to fired up in about 2.3 seconds. I remember starting my podcast like it was yesterday, just sharing what I knew, hoping someone would learn from my experiences.

When I walked away from everything in obedience to God and moved to Los Angeles, coaching became my full-time job. That’s when the imposter syndrome hit. I didn’t feel qualified, even though deep down, I knew I had the experience. Imposter syndrome is that internal struggle where you feel like a fraud, even when you’re more than capable.

As I kept going, I realized I needed to narrow my focus. I didn’t want to be a jack-of-all-trades in business coaching. Yes, I have insights on a variety of topics, but I wanted to hone in on my niche—what I knew best. If you’re talking about running a print shop or running a brand from scratch, I’m your guy. That’s what I’ve done, that’s what I do, and that’s who I am. And along the way, I’m going to teach you the values and lessons that most people overlook but are essential to building a solid foundation.

Recently, I came up with an elevator pitch that sums up what I do:

“I empower entrepreneurs to build and grow apparel brands from The Ground Up, providing insights, strategies, and support to elevate their ideas into thriving businesses.”

I’ve come to realize that you’re only an imposter if you’re teaching something you haven’t lived or experienced. We don’t teach from theory; we teach from what we know. I wrote this to encourage you—coaching is valuable, and people need someone to lean on. And as you’re teaching, you’re also learning. So the next time imposter syndrome tries to creep into your life, remember: you are enough.

God Bless The Entrepreneur.
