Compete with yourself and get better every single day.
Your biggest competition is you. And so every single day, you need to look in the mirror and say, what's stopping you? What's stopping you from getting what you want? What's holding you back? Because at the end of the day, we are our worst critic, we are our worst enemy. And the reality is, if we can take full ownership of where we are in our life, in our business, in our career, then that's when we can truly change, because that's the only thing that we can control. And so one of the most important things, if you want to grow a successful coaching business, you want to get to your first $10,000 a month or 20,000amonth, is to understand that you just need to compete with yourself and get better every single day. Because if there's one thing that I can be certain of, there's one thing that I'm sure of, is that progress equals happiness. And comparison is a thief of all joy. I'll say that again. Progress equals happiness, and comparison is a thief of all joy. And so the only way we can progress in our lives, in our business, get more clients to get the better results that we're looking for, is if we look up and look in the mirror every single day and say, what can I do to make today better? What can I do to grow as a man, as a woman, as a human being? Do that every single day and you'll get that 2 millimeter shift that you're looking for. Think about it this way. If you know anything about compound interest, right, you leave some money in the bank, or you leave some money on a property, and slowly it goes up. And at the start, it goes up a little bit, but over time, five years, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, that power of compound allows you to grow your net worth exponentially. It's like that with you as well. And so if you just incrementally improve yourself every single day, then you'll compound into the person that you know you can be.
