Focus on the journey, not the destination
You are incomparable
“There is no competition for you as you are unique.”
These were the wise words from a connection during an interesting conversation at the end of last year.
He had asked me to consider starting a podcast or webinar to share my story and tales of adventure.
I replied saying I had some interviews lined up for other people’s podcasts but I wasn’t really sure about starting my own because there was so much competition out there.
And that’s when he dropped the wisdom bomb 💣

You know what it’s like.
There’s some goal you want to achieve but you just don’t think you can.
