O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me 👋 would you be interested in some collaboration? I just subscribed to your channel and believe we can do something neat 😁 let me know, have a great day!
True. Even the more you know the more you feel you don't know. I humble myself and I keep on learning because there are a lot of things need to learn. Learning is a continues process.
'You don't need another certification, you don't need another book, you don't need another course. You need to master your mindset first.' 🙏thanks Vanessa! I needed to hear this today.
I love this, Vanessa! I am further identifying my niche because of my RUclips videos. Due to the hate I've received on my most recent video, I've realize that Etsy sellers may not really be a part of my niche like I originally thought. Everyone who understood my video was open to the idea I was proposing... moving off the Etsy platform, even though it's HARD work to create a website/generate traffic yourself... Due to the two very different reactions towards my video, I'm realizing I want to work with the people who are willing to put the hard work, not the ones that waste time crying over Etsy's changing policies, but don't think taking matters into their own hands is possible for them... no more Etsy content for me, more content about up-leveling and taking control of your business. Posting content has definitely gotten me closer to defining my niche.
I don't think I'm an expert and yet I'm seeing people who are making youtube videos on Etsy selling who have a fraction of my sales! But I always think I'll get negative feedback if I start bragging of my 1000s of sales. Its so true what you say that its just our mindset!
*I'm just starting in the personal development and mindset hack niche. I'm not an expert but I've got lots of experiences in life and knowledge from research to help others out. I have just a little under 160 subscribers so I think I should still give it some more time.This is was helpful as usual, thanks*
Thanks for this video Vanessa 🤩 Even though I know I am an expert in my domain, it's been pretty hard to put myself out there and start my RUclips Channel on my area of expertise.. but I overcame it and did it 6 months ago! and post one video EVERY SINGLE WEEK on top of my day job 😁
I WAS LITERALLY JUST RESEARCHING THIS!! Esp as it pertains to being a content creator, it's easy to not create and grow because you're not an "expert" compared to others. So very helpful, thanks Vanessa! :)
Love this video, Vanessa! I like the idea of making a list of all your accomplishments. This will help put things into perspective and make you realize that hey I've accomplished a lot and I have a lot of value to offer!
Ok Vanessa, I’ve been LITERALLY binge watching all of your videos since I discovered you last night. You put out information that is so easily digestible. Thank you!!! I’m still struggling with this and I know I need to dig into my niche but have been having a hard time doing so. This is so helpful. On to the next video :)
Thanks as always for the positive view and building up a strong mindset Vanessa! Definitely important to put that first step forward and taking a leap of faith. Interesting fact about starting for free but it makes sense in a way and like you said took the edge off!
U r a big inspiration dear Vanessa. No-one will ever understand how excited I get when I get ur post notifications. As soon as I get the notification, I run to find my headphone to connect with my phone and I start watching ur video until the end. Thanks a lot for helping this many people build a better life... 😍
When you give value to your client and if you are helping them, then that's the most important thing. We are always learning! And that's more important than being an expert and staying the way you are. Thanks for this!
I know my handmaking craft is technically sound but my business knowledge and RUclips channel is life long growth. Committing to coaching others is definitely a mindset to helping others with what we know now, to helps people with wherever they are now and being genuine about it. Awesome advice as always Vanessa - such a sensitive spot for me and many.
Once again, YOU ARE KILLIN' IT, VANESSA! This video is literally a life-saver as I just kickstart my online coaching project. I have been constantly dealing with "do I suffice enough to share my value?" and other juddering self-doubt which cripple me along the way. I don't believe in coincidence at all hence I am very certain your video published exactly at the moment I am the most in need of such booster! And I cannot wait for your next week video!
I am so glad that you didn't niche down from the beginning. Your earlier videos have so much value. The social media videos are on trend so there is a good chance that they will be popular, but so many people do those videos. Your transparency and honesty in your earlier videos for viewers gives them a chance to get to know. Gives people a chance to build a trust. Cause I've caught you early I have subscribed and learned a lot and trust you vs clicking on those social media channels I don't follow them. I click for info for what I need. I thought that your earlier videos were pretty niche from my perspective I see growth. Your earlier videos are good grounding and take off videos. I see you building a relationship with your viewers, which I personally think is so important than videos that just had info with not much personality behind it. Love this video amazing content.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. I just got over imposter syndrome and I feel so much better about my business. Once I started posting my tips to RUclips people seemed to really feel some of it was valuable. This really changed my mindset about my skills.
I usually don't comment at all but I understand in this video what you meant when you say generosity. The imposter syndrome is a real blockage. Most people need to get through this to evolve but you are the first video talking about this. Thank you Madame !!!
I enjoy watching your videos because of your energy and transparency. I've been a consultant for over 20 years and there is never a day that I don't learn something new. I believe everyone has something to offer that you could benefit from no matter what level of expertice you are at. Its refreshing to watch a video of someone that brings honesty to the table, because we are bombarded by so many BS experts claiming to make over night success and flaunting leased Lambos to impress people into buying some BS course which offers nothing more than common sense advice. Thanks again for your great videos and for being so true with your audience.
I always struggle with this imposter syndrome but thanks to your video I can be successful in my business because I don't need to be an expert first, I just have to take the first step because an expert was once a beginner
Totally agree Vanessa that you don't need to be an expert to get started, even after years of doing it, there's always tons of new things to learn. We'll never get started if we wait until we feel ready! Just gotta do it and get going!
Great video i think that anyone that have a yt channel or any company have been through all this starting from myself. It was hard until you understand that your biggest enemy or hater is yourself.
I have no idea how deep this video will go on the comments but still... i'm just a new youtube channel doing basic research and educating myself... the normal for an entrepreneur... but i just want to thank you for your videos and the amazing power you got for make people get into consume your content, normally a chanel make you wach like 2 or 3 videos but with you i'm basically on my 15 video now and im fell im trap on a infinity spiral of information and i don't wanna stop. just thank you and keep on our amazing work.
I just found you through this video and I am so thankful! Liquid gold, baby! I really needed to hear this! Imposter syndrome creeps up in the most insidious ways but you’ve really helped me hurdle over that obstacle today. Thank you so much. Absolutely subscribed ☀️
Great information Vanessa!! I have struggled with this very thing, who am I to be putting out these words of inspiration? Some of it is my own experiences but a lot of it is what knowledge I’ve acquired through osmosis through my learnings of others. So thank you for this because it was right on time. I’ve gotten lots of feedback from my audience about how my daily posts inspire them or how they connected to the message that day and I need to continue to listen because it’s apparent i am doing what I’ve set out to do and that brings me pure joy. Always enjoy your videos!! Keep it up!!
Thanks for the info. Being a young Entrepreneur it is always intimidating to offer advice and mentor, because we feel inadequate. I have come to realize that age is just a number and the most important thing is experience. We cannot give what we don't have no matter how old we are.
The need to be "an Expert" is relative to Your role with your client. (Coach, Advisor, Trainer, Consultant, etc.) The Best Coaches are Experts at asking the right questions, Listening and Guiding others to finding Their Own Best answer. If You are the "Subject Matter/Industry" expert, there's a good chance you're leaning more towards a Trainer/Consultant/Advisor role, these are secondary roles for Coaching. Understanding the difference often eliminates this type of self doubt. The most important thing is to be real and honest with Yourself and with your clients. I hope that's helpful. I want to say Thank you and Great job to you Vanessa. I was introduced to you last week from a client who liked your content. After watching a few videos, I suggested she subscribe to your channel, keep watching and actively engage. Good Stuff, keep it up, Everyone benefits from quality content like yours.
Excellent! Thank you for posting this. You have really encouraged me. I have years of knowledge from my experiences of being on TV singing and winning competitions to being an actress on screen and stage and still never give myself credit for my years of accomplishments enough to believe I can coach others. It’s really sad how many of us are literal experts but feel like imposters while others have significantly less knowledge and experience but own what they do have. I want their confidence. Clearly, I must get my own. I am going to get my own even if I have to watch this video everyday. You have truly encouraged me. You Rock!
Hey girl love your videos! You might think about investing in some lights, it would really take your video quality to the next level. Neewer ring light is a great one for only like $50 on amazon 😊 keep it up!
You are so awesome Vanessa! I love your energy and your videos. As a new creator, your channel is a breath of fresh air as I feel your tips are actually applicable and unique from other similar videos :)
I really liked your explanation of teaching the previous steps you've already figured out and being clear with what you will and will not do. I think thinking like this will help me feel more confident in teaching what I know since I won't be worrying about what I don't know yet. Thanks Vanessa!
I've been into fitness for 3 years and I've managed to train and coach myself to my own body goal, I get many people approaching me asking for tips and even to coach them but I'd say I'm not a "fitness coach". Watching your videos has inspired me so much. Now I've decided to start my business and started a Instagram fitness page.
The point about niching down is really helpful. It definitely takes the pressure off, especially if there are very few examples of exactly what you wanna do. Thank you for great content and a great video
I didn't know I had imposter syndrome until I watched this video XD Yes! I have felt every single thing you mentioned about things being too basic and me not being qualified. Probably the biggest take away from this video is investing in myself. Due to lack of finance, my mindset has always been to DIY eveything but I have now reached the point where I need someone from steps 678 to guide me along the path I want to take. Your words are helpful to students and mentors alike. Sending many many love your way! Thank you for giving voice to all our doubts and giving practical advice with it
Hey Vanessa , I am digital marketer . Even though I have 10 years of experience in this field I never started RUclips channel with my personal name . I suggested to many people to start RUclips channels because of more potential in it and all of them got good results like more leads from RUclips videos once optimised properly . So recently I started RUclips channel and because this is this first time I talk on camera got shy , difficult in talks and how to communicate etc . I use to watch your videos regularly from some days which will give more boost to me for making more good videos and I use to watch sunny videos as well . Both of your videos will help more . And in this video I learned other thing we need to make video shorter and combined later that will be more Easy without wasting time .so that we can end up with less shots of videos before final one .
You know Vanessa, I have so many things in my mind that I want to teach my viewers, so many aspects, so many subjects that I’m knowledgable at, but I guess your video came in time to remind me that to be seen as an expert, it’s extremely important to have a specific niche. Thanks for sharing this video. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Vanessa! Loved your insights. ❤️ I’m slowly building my traction on LinkedIn and my YT channel jumpstarted that reach. I have a mentor @ work who told me that it doesn’t matter if you are an Expert or a SME. I was getting lots of interactions as my content was authentic & my audience easily get into the “ME TOO!!” bubble. Times like this, authenticity and strong people relationship skills can topple all the certifications/degrees a lot of people has but aren’t able to use to provide value.
You're real good.. This is the 5th video i am watching of yours. Great content. Very vert well put. This video has such crazy key points and so sequentially placed. Mind blowing. Keep up the videos (y)
Thanks for this information especially when you talked about how the expert was once a beginner to sometimes I think we all forget that when we want to do just as good if not better.
I really appreciate your content. You share much needed information and you do it in a very straight forward way! I've learned so much from watching your videos! Thank You!
This Excellent video can be summed up like this..."In the land of the blind, the person with one eye is King" I follow Vanessa for her take on business life. No one has the exclusive license on how to... The quote came from another hero of mine-Perry Marshall. I'm a fan, Vanessa. Keep up the good work👍
Hi Vanessa, Your videos resonate with me so much that I am binge-watching for 3 days now. I see my path so similar to yours that I was bawling when I saw your "take the leap" video. I am now in the level of knowing what to teach people but I am nowhere near reaching the confidence level to show my face on a video.
You might not have intended this, but I'm getting motivated to improve my English as quickly as possible so I can get more of precious advice of yours.
I love what you had mentioned about listing down your accomplishments. What a splendid idea bank to keep for content! If you have found your way or found a method to situate yourself out of a challenging experience, you become an expert for others. Our nuggets of genius and expertise lie within our own experiences and accomplishments
This is ME!!! I was starting to write a book about voice coaching but I keep buying books and courses on the same topic yet never feel entitled enough to teach others about this. This video is the cure for peeps like me, Vanessa! Btw, are you based in Canada? I was having a discussion with one of my students on the pronunciation of the word "associate". I speak American English and have only heard it said assoSHiate, but my friend says her British friend says assoSiate and you did in the video, too, so I was thinking maybe it's the British style...including Canada. Anyway, I'll follow your advice 100%!
I think you were in my head last night. I was thinking about this very topic. I was starting to think that I am not an expert in what I want to talk about so how can I do this. I know the beginning stages but not level 4 and above. I would say not even level 3 and above. Thank you so much for making this video. I believe God gave you this topic to talk about just for me. This is so epic for me that I need to listen to it again and take notes right now. 😀
Thank you so much for this video, I have been struggling with imposter syndrome for quite some time now, I am a marketing coach but I worry because I don’t have any experience, degree or literally anything for credibility. I have been sharing entrepreneurship, marketing and social media tips on TikTok and have grown a following (it’s not that much 7000) over the last 9 months. Many business owners have been thanking me for sharing tips and educating them, I want to start offering my first coaching package, but I know absolutely nothing. I’m still learning how to create a coaching contract, invoicing, learning how to be more organise and creating resources for my Beta Clients that I start working with in a few weeks. I hope a year from now I can look for this comment and have an amazing story to tell on how the experience was
I work on cars. What makes me sick is so many rookie fraud car channels that are faking it, and made it. I need to try the niche down thing and break up my channel.
Just remember that being an "expert" has become synonymous with perfection and having a master level of knowledge.
Which is a total BS, because no matter how well you know your craft, there are always new things to learn and adopt.
*Learning by doing*
You always have the perfect comments. Welldone.
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me 👋 would you be interested in some collaboration? I just subscribed to your channel and believe we can do something neat 😁 let me know, have a great day!
💯 You nailed it! Well said! Thank you for this!
O'SSÉIN - Master Your Mind With Me well said 🔥❤️
True. Even the more you know the more you feel you don't know. I humble myself and I keep on learning because there are a lot of things need to learn. Learning is a continues process.
I speak 8 languages but imposter syndrome makes me feel like I don’t even speak 1- thanks for this 💕
'You don't need another certification, you don't need another book, you don't need another course. You need to master your mindset first.' 🙏thanks Vanessa! I needed to hear this today.

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” Paulo Coelho 🙏👍😊 Thanks, Vanessa.
Book your first client. Make your first sale! You have to start somewhere!!
I don't think I'm an expert and yet I'm seeing people who are making youtube videos on Etsy selling who have a fraction of my sales! But I always think I'll get negative feedback if I start bragging of my 1000s of sales. Its so true what you say that its just our mindset!

Even when you're not an expert you can be an expert. Deliver value over a long period time and you will make a name for yourself. 📈
Love this video, Vanessa! I like the idea of making a list of all your accomplishments. This will help put things into perspective and make you realize that hey I've accomplished a lot and I have a lot of value to offer!
@Monetize With Sis G Oh awesome! What course did you take?
So summarized film how you learn something, create a course, then rake in the profits
Awesome tips Vanessa! Thank you!! 💕👍😀
Ok Vanessa, I’ve been LITERALLY binge watching all of your videos since I discovered you last night. You put out information that is so easily digestible. Thank you!!!

Once again, YOU ARE KILLIN' IT, VANESSA! This video is literally a life-saver as I just kickstart my online coaching project.

Great video i think that anyone that have a yt channel or any company have been through all this starting from myself. It was hard until you understand that your biggest enemy or hater is yourself.
I love when you say HOWEVER I know that the next phrase is super important
Such wise words from such a young person. Vanessa, keep doing what you’re doing...giving value. Congrats on 97k woohoo!!
The helpfulness and Timing of this video is spot on!. We are all experts truly!. Thanks Vanessa😍😍
My biggest problem... I needed to hear this. Very relatable
I have no idea how deep this video will go on the comments but still...
i'm just a new youtube channel doing basic research and educating myself... the normal for an entrepreneur...
but i just want to thank you for your videos and the amazing power you got for make people get into consume your content, normally a chanel make you wach like 2 or 3 videos but with you i'm basically on my 15 video now and im fell im trap on a infinity spiral of information and i don't wanna stop.

Thank you so much. Absolutely subscribed ☀️
This is such a great topic and it’s not discussed enough! I believe everyone struggles with this at one point in their business journey....🙌🏾
You make talking on camera seem so easy! Such an inspiration!!

One of the most important videos every creator needs to watch
Thanks for the info. Being a young Entrepreneur it is always intimidating to offer advice and mentor, because we feel inadequate. I have come to realize that age is just a number and the most important thing is experience. We cannot give what we don't have no matter how old we are.
Thank you for another great video Vanessa! Niching down niching down is going to be my focus from this. Thank you again!
I have watched this video over and over again now! This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this. This is freeing on so many levels!

Hey girl love your videos! You might think about investing in some lights, it would really take your video quality to the next level. Neewer ring light is a great one for only like $50 on amazon 😊 keep it up!
Focusing on value first starts you up in the right path ; we learn a lot by doing ; so get the first sale !!great video Vanessa!!
Great video as always Vanessa! Your ideas are all direct to the point!

Your videos have honestly been so helpful, some of these I have been hearing for a long time but you made it super clear! thank you
The point about niching down is really helpful. It definitely takes the pressure off, especially if there are very few examples of exactly what you wanna do. Thank you for great content and a great video
Thanks, Vanessa. I needed to hear this. You're always so timely with your videos. I appreciate it.

My brain turned the title into "How to get over being an expert?" And I was like... what?! Hahahaha
Yay new video 📹
I absolutely LOVE your channel and you bring sooooo much value to my life where I am right now 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️🍀

Hey Vanessa , I am digital marketer . Even though I have 10 years of experience in this field I never started RUclips channel with my personal name . I suggested to many people to start RUclips channels because of more potential in it and all of them got good results like more leads from RUclips videos once optimised properly . So recently I started RUclips channel and because this is this first time I talk on camera got shy , difficult in talks and how to communicate etc . I use to watch your videos regularly from some days which will give more boost to me for making more good videos and I use to watch sunny videos as well . Both of your videos will help more . And in this video I learned other thing we need to make video shorter and combined later that will be more
Easy without wasting time .so that we can end up with less shots of videos before final one .
EXCELLENT video! It gave me a lot to think about AND it made me think about things in a different way.
You know Vanessa, I have so many things in my mind that I want to teach my viewers, so many aspects, so many subjects that I’m knowledgable at, but I guess your video came in time to remind me that to be seen as an expert, it’s extremely important to have a specific niche. Thanks for sharing this video. I appreciate it. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi Vanessa! Loved your insights. ❤️ I’m slowly building my traction on LinkedIn and my YT channel jumpstarted that reach.
I have a mentor @ work who told me that it doesn’t matter if you are an Expert or a SME. I was getting lots of interactions as my content was authentic & my audience easily get into the “ME TOO!!” bubble. Times like this, authenticity and strong people relationship skills can topple all the certifications/degrees a lot of people has but aren’t able to use to provide value.
You're real good.. This is the 5th video i am watching of yours. Great content. Very vert well put. This video has such crazy key points and so sequentially placed. Mind blowing. Keep up the videos (y)
Thanks for this information especially when you talked about how the expert was once a beginner to sometimes I think we all forget that when we want to do just as good if not better.
I've been more seriously thinking about offering my consulting for free to begin. Glad to hear it from you!
I really appreciate your content. You share much needed information and you do it in a very straight forward way! I've learned so much from watching your videos! Thank You!
Excellent explanation on this topic! Best I've seen to date. Thank you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
This Excellent video can be summed up like this..."In the land of the blind, the person with one eye is King" I follow Vanessa for her take on business life. No one has the exclusive license on how to... The quote came from another hero of mine-Perry Marshall. I'm a fan, Vanessa. Keep up the good work👍
I like this mindset shift, because sometimes it's best to take the first step
Hi Vanessa,
Your videos resonate with me so much that I am binge-watching for 3 days now. I see my path so similar to yours that I was bawling when I saw your "take the leap" video. I am now in the level of knowing what to teach people but I am nowhere near reaching the confidence level to show my face on a video.
Thank you Venessa for your all million dollars advice.... I'm so glad that you are my one of best online mentors 😇 (love from India )
I love all your content but this video was 🙌🏼. Literally exactly what I needed to hear thank you! Can’t wait til your next video!
I like more this introduction :) Is more natural. Thank you for the advice 🙏🏼
You might not have intended this, but I'm getting motivated to improve my English as quickly as possible so I can get more of precious advice of yours.
I love what you had mentioned about listing down your accomplishments. What a splendid idea bank to keep for content! If you have found your way or found a method to situate yourself out of a challenging experience, you become an expert for others. Our nuggets of genius and expertise lie within our own experiences and accomplishments
Vanessa Lau Thank you for all of your inspiring , on-point, and tangible guidance across your social platforms ❤️
This is ME!!! I was starting to write a book about voice coaching but I keep buying books and courses on the same topic yet never feel entitled enough to teach others about this. This video is the cure for peeps like me, Vanessa! Btw, are you based in Canada? I was having a discussion with one of my students on the pronunciation of the word "associate". I speak American English and have only heard it said assoSHiate, but my friend says her British friend says assoSiate and you did in the video, too, so I was thinking maybe it's the British style...including Canada. Anyway, I'll follow your advice 100%!
Thank you so much Vanessa, you have no idea how motivating this was for me, thank you so much and congrats on 100k subs btw ❤
This video is PURE gold 💚
I think you were in my head last night. I was thinking about this very topic. I was starting to think that I am not an expert in what I want to talk about so how can I do this. I know the beginning stages but not level 4 and above. I would say not even level 3 and above. Thank you so much for making this video. I believe God gave you this topic to talk about just for me. This is so epic for me that I need to listen to it again and take notes right now. 😀
Another amazing video. Can't get enough. So much knowledge to learn from Vanessa! A+++
Yes! I'm my most important case study!!
Thank you so much for this video, I have been struggling with imposter syndrome for quite some time now, I am a marketing coach but I worry because I don’t have any experience, degree or literally anything for credibility. I have been sharing entrepreneurship, marketing and social media tips on TikTok and have grown a following (it’s not that much 7000) over the last 9 months. Many business owners have been thanking me for sharing tips and educating them, I want to start offering my first coaching package, but I know absolutely nothing. I’m still learning how to create a coaching contract, invoicing, learning how to be more organise and creating resources for my Beta Clients that I start working with in a few weeks. I hope a year from now I can look for this comment and have an amazing story to tell on how the experience was
omg i just love your channel so much! greetings from brazil
yes you are good your why i quit my job video was my leap of faith to quit my job last week and to start my own business. Thanks
Thank you for always encouraging me & to keep going even though I'm not a expert
this video really helped me realize a lot of things i was in need to elaborate
Very good Van
I work on cars. What makes me sick is so many rookie fraud car channels that are faking it, and made it. I need to try the niche down thing and break up my channel.
