That's definitely not true (I wouldn't be here if it were), and it's mistaken assumptions like this that I'm hoping my post can nudge some people out of.

If you noticed any of these phrases in what I wrote: "lack of credentials", "needn't look impressive", "doesn't look like", "nothing else", "out of nowhere", "you're already yourself"...that's why I put all those in there. Edit: oh and "impostor syndrome" of course.
