Evan Carmichael says self-doubt grows when you're around people who criticize or limit you. His fix: distance yourself from them, find mentors, and join communities of ambitious people. Surround yourself with support and your inner critic quiets down.
It is scary and hard to run your own race, and a lot of people will doubt you along the way and tell you that it's not possible, even if it's in a loving way. It's not possible, that you can't do it. And we often then lead to doubt in ourselves, and that voice comes in and says that we can't do it. And so the answer is to start to shift the environment, to start to eliminate the people who are creating those negative thoughts around us, to start to try to get some mentors to help teach and learn, to try to join a community of people who are just as ambitious as we are. Trying to accomplish great things, and to be around the content of people who inspire us to want to go off and be amazing.
