Comparing your beginning to someone else's decade of work kills motivation. Focus on your own progress instead. That's how you actually get ahead.
One of my favorite quotes for life is, "Don't compare your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 10." So for example, let's say you're just starting out in the gym and you look at someone's physique or their levels of strength and they've been in the gym for 10 years. You're looking at your first year and their 10th year and it can be very discouraging. Even in business, you're looking at business and brands or people that have been doing this for 10 years and they're balling out, private jets, Lambos, all that good stuff. And you think brand that you just started off sucks and you get discouraged. If you wanna win at life, life, you gotta have a winner's mindset. And winners don't look at what the person next to them is doing. Winners just focus on themselves. So my advice to you today is, if you want to get ahead, you want to make some fast progress, focus on number one, focus on yourself, and forget what other people are doing.
