Impostor syndrome is something nearly every entrepreneur faces, yet it often feels deeply personal and isolating, until it’s spoken out loud. During our September Arise Community Call, nanny agency owners and peers came together for a candid conversation about how impostor syndrome shows up in their work, the self-doubt it creates, and the strategies they’re using to move beyond it. This blog captures the highlights of that discussion, offering both validation and practical takeaways for anyone navigating similar feelings.

In our August Arise Community call, we dove into one of the most important and often intimidating parts of running a successful agency: sales.

For many, the word “sales” can feel overwhelming or uncomfortable. But true selling is not about being pushy. It is about understanding people, solving their problems, and building trust along the way.

Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Am I really qualified to run this agency?” If so, you are far from alone. Impostor syndrome is one of the most common struggles for entrepreneurs, especially in people-centered industries such as nanny placement. Research shows nearly seventy-eight percent of business owners and sixty percent of social care professionals have experienced impostor feelings at some point in their careers.

One of the most powerful ways to grow your nanny agency is through trusted word-of-mouth referrals from the families you already serve. But if you’re waiting until the end of the client journey to ask for a referral, (or not asking at all) you’re leaving an opportunity on the table.

Let’s be honest:

When we talk about growing a nanny agency, we focus on the exciting parts—more clients, higher revenue, bigger impact.

As your nanny agency grows, so does the weight on your shoulders. What may have started as a one-woman show quickly becomes a full-time operation juggling placements, client communication, admin, nanny vetting, and marketing.
