Comparing yourself to others, and then feeling down in the dumps over it. I am pumped for today's show because this is a question I get ALL of the time, mostly from some on my own team - WHAT is so and so doing…how are they signing so many people up? How come so and so’s team is growing so fast? What are you saying exactly that gets people to join? I do ALL of the same things and it just doesn’t work…. Admit it, you’ve done it.

Now, about those dreaded mindset pitfalls, They are deadly, really. And, we have all been there with that small, annoying voice that whispers in our ear - Who do you think you are? You aren’t as good as so and so… How come YOU aren’t at the top level of your company? You don’t have what it takes… You should just stick to what you know… Blah, blah, blah. What you really need to do is Spend some time where life really happens. Right here, right now, where reality hangs out. What goes on in your mind is a dream…a nightmare really….and it can derail you. Don’t let your stories turn into realities. Here is the interesting dynamic - It is IMPORTANT that you surround yourself with people who are successful, and in fact, more successful than you. And, it is equally as important that you appreciate what you can learn from these people and how you can be inspired. Competition is healthy. And, NOT to fall into comparing yourself, because this is ALWAYS a no win.
