Avoiding distractions, comparisons, and insecurities during a launch.

Ever found yourself in a situation where you put a massive amount of effort into creating an amazing digital course or webinar and have marketed it brilliantly, only to realize that everyone around you is launching a similar offer at the EXACT same time? If this has happened to you, you know just how overwhelming it is!

I felt like every heavy hitter in the industry was launching their own bootcamp at the same time, and honestly, I panicked. But I know now there was no reason to! Trust me – it’s a natural feeling, but you can't let your insecurities or urges to compare yourself to your peers get the best of you! 
I've never talked about this topic on the podcast before, but it's an important one. In this episode, I walk you through how I've managed these feelings through more than a few of my launches! I also share some tips on avoiding distractions during a launch and using this friendly competition to your advantage. 

In this episode, I cover:
