Feb 12, 2025
Talking about how realtors can break through self-doubt, take bigger actions, and step into their next level of success…
We’re excited to share the latest episode of The Purpose with Purvis Show! In this episode, Jacklyn Purvis and Jamie Purvis dive into one of the biggest mindset barriers real estate agents face: imposter syndrome.
Whether you’re trying to level up your business, increase your income, or transition into higher-end properties, feeling like you don’t belong can sabotage your progress. This episode unpacks why imposter syndrome creeps in, how it manifests in daily habits, and what to do to reprogram your mindset for success.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “faking it” or struggling to claim the success you want, this episode is for you.
Why Realtors Struggle with Imposter Syndrome
Jamie breaks down why imposter syndrome isn’t just for beginners—it follows you at every income level. Whether you're transitioning from $75K to $300K or moving into luxury listings, the fear of stepping into a bigger role can keep you stuck in patterns of avoidance.
“If you don’t believe in your ability to reach the next level, you’ll unconsciously hold yourself back. The trick is recognizing when you're self-sabotaging and breaking the cycle.” – Jamie
Many agents already have the plan, the strategy, and the knowledge—but hesitation and self-doubt prevent them from taking real action.
How Self-Sabotage Keeps You Stuck
Jacklyn explains how self-sabotage often looks like procrastination. It’s the small, daily decisions that keep you from doing what actually moves your business forward.
“It’s easier to scroll emails or check social media than to make calls or put yourself out there—but that’s exactly how imposter syndrome wins.” – Jacklyn
Instead of falling into this cycle, Jacklyn shares a simple way to shift your behaviour:
- Identify where you’re holding back (What’s the uncomfortable action you’re avoiding?)
- Take one small action today that moves you toward your goal (Stop overthinking and just start)
- Track your consistency (Are you following through, or avoiding?)
Two Simple Steps to Step Into Your Next Level
Jamie shares two easy but powerful action steps to help agents overcome imposter syndrome and transition into bigger deals with confidence:
- Immerse Yourself in the Market You Want to Sell In – Start touring high-end homes, networking with luxury agents, and familiarizing yourself with that space.
- Market Yourself as That Agent – Start sharing high-end listings, engaging with that clientele, and presenting yourself as the go-to agent for those properties.
“When you start showing up in the space you want to succeed in, people will start seeing you as that agent. Confidence follows action.” – Jamie
