On the beats of the soundtrack added by the lawn mower next door, we're tackling a biggie: comparison. Right! A sneaky little monster that can mess with our minds and our business growth. I've seen it come up in my coaching sessions and even experienced it myself—just this morning at the gym!

Seeing someone do something different that I perceived as higher than mine made me doubt my own routine. But then I had to remind myself why I was doing what I did, while considering my own fitness journey. And here's the deal: we're all on different stages of our own journeys. In life and in running a staging business.

To help you navigate comparison, I'm breaking down the four stages of competence and how they apply to your staging business. Rather than feel little, understanding this can help focus your attention on what time,energy and expertise it took them to get there, consequently extending grace to yourself for where you are and want to be.

So, what do you do when comparison hits? Listen in to learn the strategies to navigate this downer and how to use it to propel your business forward. Remember, everyone's journey is unique, and it's all about progress, not perfection.
