It starts with looking within yourself…....
Imposter syndrome are feelings of self doubt that never seem to stop regardless of your success. ‘Imposters’ suffer from constant self-doubt and a sense of fraudulence that takeover feelings of success or achievements. Despite any success in the field, imposters always seem to downplay skills and talents. High achieving, highly successful people often suffer, so imposter syndrome doesn’t equal low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence. Studies have actually linked it with perfectionism, especially in women.
Here are some of the best ways you can handle imposter syndrome and believe in yourself:
• Recognize imposter feelings when they happen.
• Change your inner perspectives.
• Talk about your feelings.
• Refocus on the positives.
• Seek support and talk to friends and family.
• Visualize your success daily.

“Everyone I approached was skeptical. There wasn't one person who said, "Yeah, that can happen." I heard "Just do one thing really well and then you can expand" a lot. But I wanted this to be a whole lifestyle brand. Everyone I talked with in Hollywood could not wrap their heads around the idea. Whenever I tried to sit down with them about it, they would just get this glazed look on their faces. Entertainment is a totally different business. It's like, how do you squeeze the most out of a person for five seconds, and then you move on to the next one. It's hard for people to take anyone seriously who's never done this before. They see you only as something else. But all that just gave me fire to move forward.
I approached this guy who built the top-selling accessories brand at Macy's. We're friends, and he was trying to help me figure out how to execute on this idea. But he built his brand off of one item and then expanded. He found traditional retail partners and then opened his own stores. He didn't understand how to build this thing from scratch. Friends want to help you, but they're also going to be the most critical. We launched with 17 products. Even my husband, Cash, thought the idea was too big.
It took me three years to find my business partners. You have to be brutally honest with yourself and understand your strengths and weaknesses. I'm not a business person--I'm a mom. I wasn't going to be coding. I wasn't going to be in the lab mixing potions. (Though I do test all the products on my kids!) I wasn't going to be the one doing the business model and running the operation. If I went in there and said, "Hey, I'm going to put together this business from scratch all by myself," I'm sure it would have been a lot more difficult to get VCs to take me seriously, but once you have the right partners, it isn't. Having the right partners also means having people you like. They're all people I wouldn't mind getting stuck with at an airport for five hours. We can hang and have a beer and chat it up, or stay silent together and be totally cool with that. That's really important.”_ Jessica Alba speaking to inc’s Lindsay Blakely

Jayz and the seem like a nightmare or dream depending how you look at it. Why would the music mogul from Marcy partner with the infamously racist organization that once unofficially banned black players for 13 years(the league lifted the ban in 1946, teams still blocked African-Americans from playing quarterback). Why would JayZ go against who faced injustices and civil rights violations to partner with the very same organization he once denounced, “I said no to the Super Bowl: You need me, I don’t need you” on his hit “apesh*t”?
Given the lack of & within the league, we should all try to be more receptive of the social activism agenda the NFL and have agreed to develop in hopes to provide more opportunities for diversity and inclusion. The time for action is long overdue and despite the exclusion of we should rejoice in the efforts while also holding the NFL and Rocnation for real ownership and workplace demographic change not just extravagant press releases from one of america's largest and oldest symbols of hatred and oppression built of the talents of players. We love hearing from you, drop a comment below.
