Hi everyone,
I am sure a lot of you felt like an imposter before you started or right after you started working on your niche business. You know the feeling: you are not qualified to talk about it, especially if you were lacking formal education on the topic.
I had the same doubts before I started writing about golf balls only 6 months after I picked up golfing. I have never held a golf club in my hand for most of my life, let alone had some formal golf education. What I had was a great enjoyment when playing and a growing passion for the game.

If I let that feeling win, I would never have started my blog. But I realized I could use my new golfer angle as an advantage and appeal to golfers who want to hear from a regular amateur golfer. Being relatable and sharing my honest opinion while testing golf balls was to be my strategy.
How about you?
Did you ever hesitate to jump into your niche because you felt you weren't enough of an expert?
How did you push past that imposter syndrome in the beginning?
Thanks for reading,
Dan
