When I was starting out in real estate, my imposter syndrome ran rampant. I constantly doubted myself and as a newbie in the business, I didnโt have much business going on to even distract myself from my lack of confidence. It can be a vicious cycle and one I know dearly.
On those days where I wanted to give up, stay in bed, or schlump around the mall in yoga pants feeling sorry for myself, I would make a concerted effort to not only get dressed professionally but I would go over the top with my attire - hair, makeup, clothing, all of it. Full send.

No matter how low my confidence felt, how unprepared I may have felt, or how strong my imposter syndrome was - if I dressed the part I knew I could give myself enough of a mental edge to get something going.
I would then go into the office (KW at the time) and force myself to feel the power of how people reacted to me on a well dressed day. I donโt mean absorbing compliments. I mean just the way people looked at me - like I had my shit together.
If this sounds petty and superficial - congratulations. You might not need it. But if this is landing with you, you probably know the exact worthless feeling of not being able to get the day started because youโre too overwhelmed with trying to make something happen. I certainly know that feeling and am with you. ๐โจ๐
Next time you arenโt feeling it but know you need to snap out of it, take a shower, blow dry your hair, put on your face, your power suit, and go preview some inventory dressed like that.
I promise itโll snap you right out of it and something valuable will come from an interaction you have, guaranteed.
