Is Imposter Syndrome Affecting Your Business Decisions?

Have you ever felt like a fraud everytime you walk into a meeting? Or, that you don’t deserve the investors and opportunities that come your way? This overarching feeling over self-doubt that overcomes you more often than not is called the imposter syndrome. Turns out, 70 percent of millennials deal with this same thing.
