328. The Comparison Trap: What to Do When Everyone Else Seems Further Ahead


Listen Later

That 300K launch you saw in your Facebook group probably cost 240K to run—but you don't see that part. 🚀

Here's the thing: comparison isn't your enemy. It's actually trying to tell you something useful. The problem is what you make it mean about yourself. Last week, a student who made $47K in her launch was ready to quit—not because she failed, but because someone else's win looked bigger on Instagram. I gave her three things that stopped the spiral completely. By morning, she'd gone from "I'm done" to mapping out her entire Q1 for 2026.

If you've ever thought "she started after me and she's already ahead," this episode is your permission slip to stop the madness.

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Why your brain is literally wired to compare (and why there's nothing wrong with you)

  • The three sneaky comparison traps quietly wrecking your momentum

  • A four-step comparison reset you can use when you get triggered

  • How to turn jealousy into strategic clarity for your business
