Well, chuff my life!
You enter an awards category ages ago, thinking you have no chance in hell of getting through the vetting stages as I’m too old, too new, business is too small and imposter syndrome tells me I’m just not good enough to play with the big girls; then out of the blue, I’ve only gone and been chuffin shortlisted as a finalist!
Well, slap me silly and call me sally, to say I did a happy dance would be an understatement.
Now, Colin (my imposter syndrome) has gone into sneering mode, and is telling me there is no hope in all that is sunny I am going to win. This may be true, but as far as I am concerned, I’ve won already.
So, yahoosucks to anyone who thinks you can’t play with the big girls – just go for it.
As I have been saying to a group of business colleagues for a while now, I am chuffin brilliant.
