So, I keep referring people to this post, Ann as it is a great story about overcoming (or at least sharing) our self doubts with others.
Of course the most impressive people are the bravest … and not many choose to be as honest as you are here

[...] Ann Handley is what we north-of-Boston folks call wicked smart. Further evidence of that is found in her recent blog post: “I Suspect Everyone Else Is Smarter, Better-Looking, Taller, Cooler, Cuter, Has Newer and Shinier Obj….” [...]

Ann, OK, glad it’s not just me. Don’t we all feel this way every now and then (usually before we walk into a meeting with a prospective client)? It’s not just measuring up to others — more often it’s measuring up to our internal images of ourselves. I suspect many of us reading/following/sharing here are marketers. We tend to think a lot (cough -to much-cough) about perception and image. The (not so) simple act of standing up to say these things proves they can’t actually defeat you.
Thanks!

Loved the post Ann and the video was hilarious. I belong to nothing on the internet and your blog is pretty much the only one I read, so I think my hit should have more weight! Do they rank hits? After reading all the comments, I suspect one of the reasons I’m not internet connected is that it would confirm through hard numbers my lack of popularity. Do you ever play the game of “If my life were to be made into a movie, who would play me on the big screen?” I’m guessing Tina Fey (mine would be Miss Piggy).
