I had a revelation recently…
That I was falling into the common trap.

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.
You think of every reason and excuse under the sun. You think of all the what ifs and fears and doubts. You latch onto that feeling of anxiety.
