We recently connected with Nicole P and have shared our conversation below.
Nicole , first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
Imposter syndrome is that tiny voice in your head telling you “you’re not good enough” or “you don’t deserve this” and things of that nature. Oddly enough these feelings come about when you are about to do something huge, potentially life changing that you may have been dreaming about forever. The voice is fleeting, it doesn’t stick around forever, but somehow it’s easy to give this idea more attention than it deserves. How did I overcome? I acted in spite of. I thought about how much my God loved me to even give me this idea! looked at all of the people around me who love me and believe in me and thought that I deserve what I wanted and MORE. I drown out the voice of doubt with feelings of hope. This is an ongoing battle. There might not ever be a day or a time that you are about to do something incredible where this voice doesn’t pop up. Don’t feed that energy. Do it anyway. Prove to yourself you are worthy.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Faith, Perseverance and a genuine love for what you do. Being an entrepreneur is far from easy however, I think having those 3 things make the journey more bearable. To folks early in their journey, expect the unexpected, learn how to adapt and try not to build resentment when things don’t go your way. There are so many ups and downs in this journey it’s vital to have a solid support system in place. Stay true to your initial vision even when times get rough, but also know when it’s time to pivot.
How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?
If I knew the world for me was ending soon. I would spend as much time as I could with my love ones. I’d stay up as late as i could every night. I’d try to spend every waking moment creating new memories. Id laugh more, cry less (from sadness) and vacation often!
