Last night I pushed myself out of my comfort zone by attending the Best of Northwest Local & Loved Awards. Since starting my journey in property and business I have not attended any awards events from the self conscious fears and mythical thoughts that haved lived in my head. Some serious imposter syndrome fears - What do I wear? Will I fall over my dress? Will I fit in? Should I even be there as there are lots of other experienced investors doing amazing things in property or in business? Will I be awkward? Will I embarrass myself in some shape or form? But I would like to say a special thank you to Faz Patel for the invite to last night and to pat myself on the back for stepping up to accept and attend. Don't get me wrong it has been a stressful few days as I drove my poor son Hashim Baig around on the buying the dress crusade and made him nuts with my fears too 😂😂😂. In the end I didn't do any of the mythical fears and it was an enjoyable night and great to celebrate local businesses on achieving well deserved awards. The end result a resounding success and a major inner fear conquered about why I should attend as oppose to avoiding these events. They are a great way to raise your profile and celebrate people. So if you are anything like me with all those mythical fears and imposter syndrome. Give it a go and actually it's not as scary as our inner thoughts make out. #business #awards
