Ever feel like everyone else is on a rocket ship while you’re pedaling a tricycle? Crystalee Beck, founder of Comma Copywriters and The Mama Ladder, shares how she stopped comparing herself to other…
Crystalee BeckGuestMonica PackerHostI think a lot of times it comes up with appearance, but today we're talking more about progress and growth.
Like anything that you're trying to grow in and do better at and maybe even achieve something in, it can be really debilitating when all you do is see other people going at the same thing, but at a much faster clip.
And that's what gets me the most discouraged is if I am trying just as hard, I feel at something, whether it's trying to work on some behavior, things that my kids are facing, or my own business, and you see other people, it feels like take off like a rocket while you're sitting back there and just pedaling on a tricycle.
So how does that come into play for you comparing comparing your progress with someone else's?
Well, someone that I really look up to who I see her to be on a rocket ship and I'm on the tricycle with her is Sydney Tetro here in Utah.
I would say she's like the number one woman in business and she's just doing these huge things.
She raised over a hundred million dollars and I mean, just astronomical what she's doing.
But I have decided very consciously that Sydney has her own experiences and skill sets and also her own hurdles and challenges that I don't have.
I get to be myself and have my own path that may feel very, very small compared to Sydney Tetreault.
I don't think that it serves any of anyone when we feel like we have to keep up with someone else's pace.
