A short excerpt from Katie McManus (episode 91) describing “sign #2” that someone is following their voice of doubt: repeatedly buying courses or paying for solutions out of insecurity rather than making strategic investments. McManus frames this behavior as fear-driven and contrasts it with investing from a place of confidence to find the right help.

Another sign that you're trusting your voice of doubt and not actually going with your inner leader or your higher self is you are constantly throwing money at the problem. This happens a lot. And I've totally been guilty of this. Especially earlier on in my business. Anytime I felt insecure about something, I'd be like, okay, cool, there's a course for this. I don't know how to do Instagram. Cool, I'm gonna buy a course for this. Oh, I didn't do that. Course didn't really fit me. I'm gonna go buy another course. And another one. And another one. Did I do any of them? No, of course not. The problem with this is when we're throwing money at something, we're not doing it strategically. Right. When we throw money from. Because our voice of doubt is undercutting our belief in ourselves, we do it from a place of fear. We're doing it from a place of I'm not enough and I'm not smart enough to figure this out on my own. And, of course, like, it is super valuable to invest in the right help, but when you're in a fear place, are you able to discern what the right help is or not?
