How can you avoid falling into the trap of constantly comparing yourself to your competitors? How can you ensure that the presence of competition doesn't stop you? Even for those who don't run a business, it's easy to feel this competitive mindset and to let it get you down. How do we not let it get us down?!This is what we spoke about during the episodeWhenever we catch ourselves in that competition mindset, we remember the lesson we learnt from Joshua Rosenthal (founder of IIN). Look sideways. You are me, I am you, and we are one. No one is above you. No one is below you. We're all the same.Awareness is the first step to not get stuck. You need to have the awareness to then go ahead and make a change.Looking at your competition is not necessarily a bad idea. Get inspiration from other people and learn from them.Look at your business and take note of your differentiation. How are you different to the competition? What do you do that's different to them? Or what do you not do?Define what success means to you
