Can Imposter Syndrome be something that is helpful for your pet business? 

According to Nicola Kinnard-Comedie, my guest on the podcast this week, it can.

Nicola is a business and mindset coach for equine and canine practitioners. 

She helps clients change their mental programming and develop business strategies to grow their horse or dog focused business.

Self doubt, feeling as if you’re not good enough, worrying about your capabilities and being your own worst critic are issues I see all the time.

Usually termed as ’Imposter Syndrome,’ in this podcast episode, Nicola shares how to identify these feelings, how to over come them and how it can be your friend. Really!
