Comparison is the Thief of Joy - Stop Benchmarking Against Others

The only one who you can compete with, who you can compare yourself with, who you can benchmark against… is Yourself! 

Yes, that’s right. We can be inspired and educated by all the successful entrepreneurs we idolised, but we can never compare ourselves to them. This can instantly bring you down and slow you in your journey. What you should really put into your mind are your daily improvements and milestones! Gavan prepared a list of 10 topics that you can start tracking weekly, so you can make sure that you’re achieving personal development. 

Tune in to today’s episode of The Speed Mentor Podcast to know more about it! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS  

There’s a lot of inspiring entrepreneurs and thought leaders out there. You can read about their lives and listen to what they’re saying, but don’t ever compare yourself to them.  Make a spreadsheet so you can keep track of your OWN metrics. Gavan suggests you evaluate weekly. Score yourself (zero being the lowest and 10 being the highest) on each of the following topics:  Morning routine  Alcohol intake  Stop selling/start creating value  Massive action  Building your own unstoppable mindset  Investing in yourself  What’s your gratitude like?  How are your procrastination levels?  How rigorous is your goal-setting?  Gratification  “Comparison is the thief of joy” – Theodore Roosevelt  Why Sylvester Stallone is an inspiration:  He has partial face paralysis and people made fun of it but he didn’t mind this.  He couldn’t get hired when he moved to New York and ended up homeless, but still worked really hard to be an actor. He never gave up. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“You’re better benchmarking yourself against your own potential!”  “It doesn’t matter where you are now. it doesn’t matter where you’ve been. It only matters that you stop competing with others and start benchmarking yourself against yourself.”
