A short YouTube talk (speaker: Danielle Robison) that argues entrepreneurs commonly fall into the trap of comparing themselves to others, and that such competition/comparison devalues one’s own entrepreneurial journey. The speaker urges listeners to stop benchmarking themselves against peers and instead value their unique progress.
First lie is competition or comparison is essential for success. So if you notice all the entrepreneurs out there, even when they get started and usually through most of their careers, they're always comparing themselves to other people in the space and they're like, oh, my gosh, I'm doing this my company. But look at what they're doing with their company. If I could only do this faster, quicker, better be more like them. But when you do that, when you compare yourself to other people in the space, you're devaluing your own entrepreneurial journey.
