    A Quick Remedy To Self-Doubt, is there such a thing?

    CHAT 
    Thank you for making this post! I'm curious to see what others say in response. I think there will be great value (to me and, as you pointed out, likely other new members) in what longer-term entrepreneurs have to say. When I was in grad school feelings of self doubt usually indicated that I...

    Not at all. I don't feel like I'm hitting the wall and I know a lot more than "just about rocks."

    Thank you for this. I think a large part of my panic is that I'm 31 and I'm just starting, while a lot of others have been on their professional and life paths for much longer. It's reassuring to know that it is possible to feel more "caught up" in just a few years, and "ahead" not too much...

    Thank you! And thank you for your suggestions. I think there's value in connecting with more people who have earned their doctorates and are 10+ years ahead of me, especially those who started their own businesses. As for a YouTube channel.. I'm pretty shy. I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable on...

    I absolutely need to write things down more. Those are great example questions, some of which touch on areas I haven't really thought about or explored before. Thanks again for your input and reassurance!

    I've asked myself this question so much over the last few years and my mind is perpetually drawing blanks. I think it makes me so anxious that my brain just shuts down - similar to test anxiety or fear of failing on something that feels so big or not feeling like I'm cut out for it. I think the...

    I definitely need to get back into exercising and eating better. A lot of other big things happened this year that have interrupted my usually healthy lifestyle. I've improved my sleep and am starting to look forward, because I've honestly been stuck for a little while. But now it's time to get...

    Hi, Eric! I know you're looking for a response from the professional entrepreneurs, but your post reminded me of another thread I dove into yesterday at the suggestion of MJ. Just thought I'd share it with you in case you wanted to check it out until the OPs can get back to you. I wish you the...

    Thanks for your perspective! I am currently employed somewhere with decent growth potential, though I'm currently earning much less than your estimate. I started this position before I even walked at graduation. The job came from one of two internships I held concurrently. I think it's...

    Thank you for your comments! I'm realizing more and more that I've been living in the tiny bubble of PhD land - I haven't realized what a PhD means to those on the outside.

    The coursework gave me anxiety too. Unfortunately, I would not say I'm super good at hard mathematics. I'd probably rate myself as a solid B. Thanks for pointing me to those threads! I'll check them out. Edit: I checked them out. Turns out I'm actually probably a better artist than I am a...

    lol I'm glad you survived the more stupid stuff you've done. Thank you! That's true - I could have taken a different path and still ended up feeling things similar to what I'm feeling now. I'll never know, and it doesn't really serve me to think about the "what ifs." I've been focusing too much...

    Thanks for your input! I hadn't really considered that there are other possible paths I could take or could have taken that would make me feel as though I have fallen behind. And you're right, I shouldn't keep focusing on the amount of time I spent in school but I should rather focus on living...

    Thank you for sharing your story! My undergraduate experience has some similarities to yours. I did my Bachelor's in physics. I had a really rough first semester; I failed the entry physics class. My next semester wasn't much better. I started to reconsider my choice of subject. I was doing well...

    Thank you :) Honestly, I believe I earned my PhD more than I believe I earned my BS. I look at my BS diploma and wonder how the heck I came to have it. So, in my eyes, it's not "only" a college degree - it's hard earned knowledge. For sure I learned a great deal. Not just about the science...

    Thanks for sharing your story! I'm starting to really wonder if what I have is determination/dedication or extreme stubbornness. There were so so so many times I wanted to rage quit my PhD, but I never did. Maybe it was out of fear. I didn't know what else I'd do to support myself (I had paid...
