Sometimes I Feel Like I'm Bad at Marketing (And I Know It's Not Just Me)

Ever found yourself questioning whether you're actually good at marketing?

Maybe you had a client launch go poorly, or they were unhappy with their marketing results. Either way…cue existential crisis.

It doesn't matter how much experience you have – most marketers go through periods where they lose confidence in themselves. It's easy to assume the problem is you, when it’s usually just a mismatch in expectations.

The more I've spoken to marketers over the years, the more I've realised this isn't just my experience. So many of us carry this around, but very few of us actually talk about it.

In this week's episode, I'm unpacking:

• Why self-doubt is SO normal, even if you're experienced
• The three growth phases every business experiences AND what happens in marketing at each phase
• The framework I use to regain my confidence when I'm starting to feel imposter syndrome creep in

If you've ever found yourself lying awake wondering whether you've still "got it," or questioning everything after a few disappointing weeks, I really hope this episode reminds you that you're probably doing better than you think.
