It’s funny that we spent half our childhood believing in the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa Claus.
But as adults, we find it so hard to believe in ourselves.
Today, more than ever, I run into so many incredible men and women who struggle with self-belief and self-worth.
If you know my story, you’ll know I used to constantly struggle with my self-worth.
I spoke so negatively to myself, convinced I was unlovable, worthless, and would never achieve anything in my life.
And then I learned one rule from Jordan Peterson’s book, “The 12 Rules For Life,” that completely changed my mindset and belief system.
That one rule is:
Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.
Read that again.
And then read it again to make sure you remember it.
What you see on social media is a highlight reel of the best stuff people do in their lives.
I used to compare myself to those highlights and have the wind taken out of my sails.
Comparison robs you of seeing how far you’ve come.
It robs you of seeing all the progress you’ve made.
I don’t want you to fall into this trap.
And it’s why I’m telling you to only compare yourself to who you were yesterday and nothing else.
At the end of the day, it’s YOU vs. YOU.
It’s NOT you vs. Chad.
It’s NOT you vs. Jess.
So put on the blinders and focus on yourself.
You’re doing amazing work,

P.S. The only comparison worth making in business is your revenue this quarter vs. last quarter. If you’re ready to make that number climb, I made this for you.
