28: Impostor Syndrome at High Levels of Success When You Know What You’re Doing… But Still Question It

Coaching

March 26, 2026

At higher levels of success, it’s not uncommon to find yourself questioning things you already know how to do, even when everything is working.

In this episode of the Redefining Success® Podcast, Laura Flood explores what high-achieving entrepreneurs and professionals experience at higher levels of success, when the results are there, the business is working, and there’s still a part of you that pauses and wonders if you’re doing it right.

It’s often labeled as impostor syndrome.

What’s actually happening is something very different.

This episode explores impostor syndrome at high levels of success, identity expansion in entrepreneurship, and why successful people still question themselves even when they’re performing at a high level.

After more than 30 years in business, building multiple companies and generating millions in revenue, Laura shares a perspective most people never hear:

There is no point where you suddenly feel like you have it all figured out.

Instead, each level asks you to think differently, make decisions in new ways, and expand how you see yourself as you continue to grow.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why impostor syndrome shows up at higher levels of success
  • What it actually means when you question yourself, even when things are working
  • How identity evolves as your business grows
  • Why high achievers still second-guess themselves
  • The truth about “figuring it out” in entrepreneurship
  • How to trust your thinking and decision-making without over-processing
  • Why there is no arrival point where everything feels certain
  • How to move forward with more clarity and confidence

Key Takeaways:

Impostor syndrome at this level isn’t a sign that something is wrong.
It’s a reflection of growth happening in real time.

You’re not behind.You’re operating in a space you haven’t fully lived in yet.

Clarity doesn’t come before action. It develops as you move.

And the next level of success isn’t about doing more.
It’s about thinking differently and allowing your identity to catch up to what you’ve already built.

Ready for the Next Level of Growth?

If you’ve built a successful business and you’re ready for it to feel more simple, more clear, and less mentally demanding as you continue to grow, this is exactly the work we do inside the Redefining Success® Method Intensive.

Over six weeks, Laura helps you simplify how your business operates so it continues to perform without requiring your constant attention.

My definition of women who win isn't found in their titles or bank accounts. It’s having the courage to live authentically and unapologetically with intention and purpose.

Women who win are ambitious, positive, resilient, and are relentlessly committed to their dreams and making an impact in this world.
