144: The Antidote to Business FOMO: You Have Already Arrived

19 minutes

How do you define enough? Today, Jenny is sharing a bonus episode from the private BFF podcast feed where she’s talking about how to refocus on what enough looks like, and how you can celebrate exactly where (and who) you already are—in business and in life.

🌟3 Key Takeaways:

Mirroring, or looking at others, can be motivating, but be wary of falling into the compare pit of despair.

My friend Melissa shared a line from Brooke Castillo: “There isn’t better than here.” As Brooke often says, life is 50/50 between the good and the bad, and that won’t change whether you hit particular milestones or become a multi-millionaire.

Flip your internal script from “I want to be” to “I am.” Try on the identity of having accomplished your highest aspirations, and see how that shifts your energy and resulting outcomes.

📝Permission: Let go of reaching for more, the business FOMO that says you need more or better. Enjoy right where you already are.

✅Do (or Delegate) This Next: Picture yourself 5 years ago. Could you have imagined that you would be where you are now, doing what you’re doing? Take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come.
