Impostor Syndrome, Self Doubt, and Unhappy Clients - DATW 57

What do you do when unhappy clients make you feel like a fake, or that you're not cut out to succeed working for yourself?

Stacey's Full Question: I just watched the youtube video on having ridiculously high expectations of yourself and I found your advice really helpful.

However, I wondered how that would apply to freelancers who are learning on the job? For example - I am a fresh out of the box graphic designer. I learned online via distance learning and I am now starting to take on my first clients.

I have been struggling with impostor syndrome, which has deepened now I am on my 6th revision of a logo for my first client - resulting in me feeling like I am not good enough. I started to question everything (ENFP here - hi), because if I am learning on the job then failure is not an option. And if I need to build my business based on reputation, then I need to make my clients happy.

So, I am kind of stuck between having ridiculously high expectations of myself and also meeting expectations of my clients without feeling like a failure?

So now I am not sure whether freelance is right for me - because as a people pleaser I am mentally beating myself up when I feel like I have not met my client's expectations. I think there is a question in there somewhere - hopefully, it makes sense. Any advice you have would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Stacey
