I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Anyone else have imposter syndrome?

What do you mean, you ask?

That you really aren’t able to do the things you’ve promised people you’d do.

When I was hired as a GM 10 years ago, I was worried for 5 years that someone would figure out I had no idea what I was doing.

It was the same when I was designing. There is no way I can design the show you have hired me to design…I don’t have the talent.

This holds true in other areas of my life.

And sometimes I push through.

And sometimes, I write a post about it, so you can help me push through.

At the beginning of January, a friend I knew from waiting tables in NYC reached out. He complimented my blog and then asked if I’d be interested in appearing on he and his wife’s podcast to talk about it.

I immediately said yes.

That was a month ago, and I still have not given them the information they need to actually make the recording happen.

Why you ask?

Because absolutely no one is interested in my opinions on the service industry. Trust me on this.

I will come across as an ass. Sound like an idiot. And embarrass myself.

I of course know this is not true. Just like 10 years ago, I knew that I could be a GM.

It’s just the voices in my head as I am falling asleep that tell me to not do it.

So.

I’m committing to getting the form filled out.

I’m committing to scheduling a time to do the podcast.

And I’m committed to letting you know when to listen to me sound like an intelligent, service industry professional.

That is all.
