Episode 42: Called But Unqualified

Have you ever felt a powerful pull to do something important, but found yourself thinking, “I’m not qualified for this”? In Episode 42, we explore the tension between feeling called to take on a big challenge and the overwhelming feeling of being unqualified to do it. From stepping into a new career to pursuing a passion that you’ve always wanted to explore, this episode digs into why the fear of being "unqualified" doesn’t have to stop you from taking action.

Segment 1: The Call to Action

We start by defining what it means to feel "called." Whether it's an internal gut feeling, an external opportunity, or a higher purpose you feel compelled to pursue, the "call" can be an exhilarating yet overwhelming experience. We’ll look at real-life scenarios where people feel that unmistakable push to do something important—starting a business, taking a leadership role, or diving into something they’re passionate about—even if they don’t have the official qualifications. This part will help you understand why so many people feel both excited and scared when they answer the call.

Segment 2: Why "Unqualified" Doesn’t Equal Failure

Next, we challenge the myth that you need to be fully qualified before you start anything new. So many people hold back because they think they have to have everything perfect or already be an expert. But the truth is, some of the most successful people in history weren’t “qualified” when they started—yet they still managed to make their mark. We’ll discuss how the feeling of being "unqualified" can actually push you to grow faster, innovate more, and take risks that others might avoid.

I’ll share some practical strategies for embracing that uncomfortable feeling of being unqualified. Whether it’s seeking mentorship, focusing on progress over perfection, or simply trusting that you can figure it out along the way, you’ll walk away with actionable insights.

Segment 3: The Power of Taking the Leap Anyway

In this segment, we focus on the importance of taking that first step, even if you’re filled with doubt. Sometimes, the act of moving forward is all it takes to build the momentum you need. I’ll share a few stories of people who took risks, stepped into the unknown, and found success or learned valuable lessons along the way. Plus, we’ll touch on the concept of imposter syndrome—the voice in your head telling you that you're not ready—and discuss how to manage those feelings of self-doubt while building the confidence to take on new challenges.

Finally, we’ll explore the mindset shift that can help you reframe being "unqualified" as an exciting opportunity to learn and grow. By the end of the episode, you’ll be inspired to take that leap, even if you don’t feel ready.

Conclusion:

We wrap up by recapping the core message: being called to something bigger than yourself is often paired with the fear of being unqualified, but embracing that fear can lead to some of your greatest growth and successes. "Unqualified" doesn’t have to be the stopping point—it can be just the beginning of something amazing.

Call to Action: I challenge you to reflect on an area of your life where you’ve felt "called but unqualified." What’s one small step you can take today toward that goal? Don’t wait until you feel 100% ready—take the leap.

Thanks for tuning in! If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to subscribe, leave a review, or share it with someone who needs a little encouragement to take their own leap of faith.
