Do you compare yourself to others? I know I have, and it stops me dead in my tracks from taking the action I need to be successful. Those negative voices in my head start getting louder, saying things like "I don't have what it takes" or "I'll never be able to do that."

In this episode, I'm sharing tips that have helped me stop comparing myself to others, learn to stay in my own lane, and focus on what I need to do to keep moving forward.
