Thank you for your kind comment, and we’re so glad the post resonated with you. It’s something we’ve all faced.

Great points Nicki.

It’s so great how you just put it all out there.

I’m glad this is something that both newbie and professional copywriters face–not because it’s a good thing– but because it shows me that it’s just a natural part of the business.

These fears are common for EVERYONE…the successful ones just breathe it in…and BLOW it out.

I love, I love, I love.

Thanks Nicki,

This was inspiring, uplifting, and comforting. Now…where’s that client that called me a fraud? (Just kidding…)

Hey, it’s brilliant when you get recognition for being fab. Good luck, you deserve it. X

Hi Marie,

Absolutely – it’s really easy to be swayed by our fears and believe that they’re valid, but they’re really just stories and interpretations our brain is telling us to keep us in our comfort zone. And, as you know, none of the worthwhile things in our lives are within our comfort zones. 🙂 Face that fear and take action!

Hi Kenz,

Good for you for being willing to take action in spite of feeling unsure! It stops so many people and you should give yourself a *lot* of credit for being committed to moving past it. And you’re right – being a model for the children in our lives can be a pretty potent way to help ourselves focus on the action we truly need to take. 🙂

And I’m so glad you’re loving the CCA!

Hi Matvei,

You’re definitely not alone in struggling with it! And good for you for sticking with practicing and sending out your pitches – that’s exactly how you’ll work through it. 🙂

Hi Maren,

Absolutely – it’s really a matter of either working through it or giving up. And who wants to give up?? 🙂

Hi Sana,

Well it’s hard to give too much advice without knowing the particulars of the project, but it could be that the client was just an especially difficult one. Also, as you know, you charge way too little for the project, and sometimes that can cue that you’re not an expert and they need to step in and re-write copy themselves. Also, starting the project with a very clear and explicit input conversation (and fully fleshed out creative brief) will help ensure that you and your client are on the same page throughout the entire project.
