Why Are We Shouting? with Jill Salzman

What’s in this episode:

Jealous much?

We spend way too much time feeling bad about ourselves and our businesses when we see that somebody’s doing better than we are. We tend to make up alllll kinds of stories to convince ourselves that we’re not doing well. 

Let’s examine the things that you convince yourself about your competitors so that you can stop comparing yourself to their supposed greatness. You’re already great.

Folks mentioned in this episode:

* my friend Mary

What’s in this episode:

How often do you try and manufacture success?
