Having imposter syndrome isn't fun — but it can be the key to unlocking your potential, according to Barbara Corcoran. In a recent TikTok video, the 74-year-old real estate millionaire said professionals should be grateful to have such self-doubt. "If you're struggling with imposter syndrome, good for you," she said. When you make it a habit to try harder than your peers, you'll inadvertently build self-assurance, Corcoran said. Corcoran, a co-star on ABC's "Shark Tank," even looks for imposter syndrome among the show's contestants — so she can prioritize investing in their companies.
