Show impostor syndrome the đź–•đź–•đź–•
Put yo' middle fingers in the AIIIR
There’s a disease quietly slaughtering most copywriters’ dreams.
It’s not a virus. Not some economic downturn.
It’s called…
Impostor Syndrome.
(dun dun dunnn!)
See, I done been around the block.
I’ve worked with 10+ creators one-on-one … and without a doubt, this is the BIGGEST thing holding them back from signing clients.
I know because I’ve been there myself.
That constant, gnawing fear that you’re a fraud. That if you put yourself out there, someone’s going to call you out.
Here’s how it manifests:
You procrastinate on outreach, content, and sales calls because you fear being “exposed.”
When you do get on sales calls, you stumble and stutter because you don’t feel “qualified” enough.
You downplay your wins (“I just got lucky”) but brutalize yourself for every loss.
Your Stripe dashboard looks like a heart rate monitor – because every time you succeed, you self-sabotage.
And if you’re reading this thinking, “Damn it, Tim! That’s me.” … then listen up.
First, know this:
Impostor syndrome is normal.
Every successful person you admire has felt like a fraud at some point.
Second…
You want to know the
REAL reason you feel this way?
(“Yes Tim!”)
It’s not just a mindset issue. It’s not only about “believing in yourself” or writing affirmations in a journal.
Those things help, yes.
But the bigger issue is a lack of clarity on how to actually deliver results.
Because when you know exactly what you’re doing…
When you have a clear, repeatable process that lands and serves high-paying clients…
That fear disappears.
Just like that.
And that, my dear friend … is EXACTLY what my 1:1 mentorship program is designed to fix.
This is where I help copywriters and ghostwriters hit $3,000/month in 90 days – by solving the “root” of your problems (a lack of confidence).
Here’s the process:
Week 1: We build your Skeleton Offer – a plug-and-play proposal system that gets high-ticket clients to say yes in under 20 minutes.
Weeks 2-6: We roll out the Lead Detective Strategy – bringing you 2-5 quality leads every single week (even if you’re struggling to find ONE lead right now).
Weeks 7-12: You land 1-3 Big Fish Clients who actually respect your time, pay well, and stick around.
By the time we’re done, you’ll have a proven system that brings in consistent $3k months – and the clarity & skills to take things far beyond that.
This week, I’m opening 3 spots for the last time for at least 2 months.
