Trying to fit yourself into someone else's idea of who you should be or what you should be doing is a waste of your precious time.


Stop trying to build your business the exact same way you see someone else doing it.


Stop trying to write your content the same way you see someone else writing.


Stop measuring your success the same way you see others doing it.


Why? Because it won’t work for you!

It has been said that ‘comparison is the death of joy’ and I have to say, I agree. The second you allow yourself to be swept up in the comparison game, your ego will go wild, take over and wreak havoc with your inner peace.


Never forget that we are all people. No matter the colour of our skin, the language we speak, the money we earn, the work that we do. We are all people. Nobody wants to feel vulnerable and talk about the bad stuff so it can be easy to assume that that person you see on social media has it all.


Don’t compare yourself to her. You have no idea what is going on behind the mask. Maybe she cries herself to sleep because she is stressed. Maybe she is having a fight with her closest friend. Maybe she is going through a divorce. All of that is none of your business but what is your business is to be kind and loving and get on with the job of being authentically you!


We are all people. We have shared experiences. The moment you start to align yourself with who you really are is where the magic happens.


Be authentic.

Be real.

Be raw.

Be you.


And watch your life and business transform!
