Episode 045: Special Unicorn Syndrome

I always admired these boss-women who had it all together – and I still do Sis! They have built amazing side hustles, they have monetized their purpose and everything seems to have fallen perfectly in place in their lives. I used to think that those people were special (more special than I was) and had a unique quality (that I did not have or could not obtain) that made them high achieving. I didn’t think I could have what they have, and that is the mindset of many of us.

I have noticed that as guys come into this community and begin the journey to walk in their purpose, this syndrome creeps in. Special Unicorn Syndrome hinders us from walking in our purpose. I know this because it hindered me for many, many years.

My take-outs from this episode:

• Follow the blue-print. There is no point trying to re-invent the wheel.
• Using the power of positive comparison. If she can do it, I can do it!
• Showing up for yourself.

I talk extensively about my experiences with the Special Unicorn Syndrome in this episode. And you might be wondering… What is this? Download and listen to the episode.
