-
- Careers
Turning your passion into a career can bring up all kinds of emotions with imposter syndrome and fear of the unknown being two of the most common. Our guest this week, Spanish language entrepreneur Megan Miller walks us through her journey from consultant to business owner, and how she’s conquering her fears and facing her doubts along the way.
Key Takeaways:
You can battle imposter syndrome with certifications in your subject of interest
Music is a great tool for accelerating the language learning process
Being content and being complacent can be similar feelings
Life is too short to show up any less than 100%
For Megan, showing up 100% means having those ‘lightbulb’ moments with clients when she notices they figure out a concept or achieve a goal
Your first year as an entrepreneur can be an emotional rollercoaster, but it will even out over time
Success to Megan is the ability to completely serve someone else, and know what they need at that moment in time
The motivation to learn is the ignition that allows you to make the effort to learn anything new
Recognize that most people are trying their best in life
You can feel fear, but do the scary things anyway - this allows you to accept it rather than to fight it
Megan Miller is the founder of Aprovechar Language Solutions, LLC, which provides personalized, habit-based Spanish language and culture coaching programs to busy adults around the world.
She also helps IT companies in Latin America and Europe tell their stories for a U.S.-based audience through translation, editing, and localization projects.
