S03 E33: The Comparison Trap: How to Stay in Your Lane When Everyone Else is ‘Winning’

About this episode

The episode discusses how to avoid the comparison trap and focus on personal success.

It’s so easy to fall into the trap of comparison… seeing only the end result and seemingly effortless successes, the viral posts, the maxed out attendance… and not see the hard work, consistency, dedication, and efforts that all went in to making that success a reality. It’s easy to wonder why we are doing wrong, and what makes them so special. But how do we get out of the trap, escape the spiral, and focus on doing the due diligence to bring about our own success? Join Patricia and Jamie as they drop the mic: Other people’s story doesn’t matter when you’re working on your own. There is room for every one of us to succeed. Other people winning doesn’t detract from your own wins and journey. It’s time to put your focus on action and growth and ask yourself, “Does it matter?” If the answer is no, move on and make waves!
