The thing that's holding you back is that you're rooting against other people. You never want to be in a situation in business where you're actually actively rooting against a competitor, another person, a friend, where you want them to not win, or you're checking up on their progress so that they don't go farther. That is never a position you want to be in. All you can focus on is you. And once you realize that whatever they do is not relevant and you are the leverage, let alone whatever business systems you have or they have, you are the leverage. And if you just continue to get better at a skill, whether it be creating content, whether it be doing whatever you do, if you can just get better, you'll make more money, get better, help more people, you'll make more money. If you root against other people, you put yourself in a position where you can't control it, and it's essentially a victim mentality, which is the number one thing that you cannot have an online business. You can be anything that you want, but you cannot be a bitch. As long as you're not a bitch, you'll be successful. Seriously, as corny as it sounds, stay to yourself, focus on you, and you're gonna make it broke.
