How you can use impostor syndrome to your benefit 

Summary 

Somehow, l struggled to understand what the story told us this time.
What is “impostor syndrome”?
An impostor is a liar and in the article, “Begin it now” and why is it used for your benefit?

The speaker is an entrepreneur who is successful. He had about 70 employees, his company was about four years old when he got a prize. I wondered why he was an impostor. That time, the speaker met a big person who had been running his business for 40 years and he had 30,000 employees. He was a really big entrepreneur, however, he had been continuing his business with feeling the same way that was impostor syndrome. One idea hit me, l understood it, and l also have done always.

I use words: you become an actor or actress as you are being “impostor syndrome”. It means to act, perform, play to the end. In the story, a clipboard was used also.

“Begin it now” and “be a knock on the door” means that l call those “be switched on”, so turn on your switch, start acting your life, and you control it. The speaker uses a word that is “Harness”.

“Impostor syndrome” must mean that “Fake it till you become it?(you make it)” and pretend what you want to be, another similar article said.  For the speaker's marriage, it seemed to be successful. His wife might do but it's successful.

Successful people don't feel like frauds seem to be wrong. They have done more on the stage or have taken the stage a lot.

This time, I couldn't pretend to be a person who speaks English well, unfortunately. hahaha

This is the similar article that my teacher love, thus she used it three times in our class, though, I forgot completely
