The comparison trap is very real for entrepreneurs, and it’s not going anywhere any time soon.

Yes, we want to be in business for ourselves, but can we handle that mindset pressure of having to keep up with everyone else and match their quote-on-quote success story.

Jonathan even shares the power of setting SMART goals that can aid in staying focused on your journey. That’s the one that matters the most out of this!

Grab a cup and enjoy the perfect blend of humor, personal stories, and actionable advice designed to inspire your entrepreneurial spirit.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
: Entrepreneurship is not for the weak.
: Following the path of someone else does not mean you will get their results
: Celebrate your wins.
: Unfollow anyone causing your angst.
: Set goals that are realistic for you.
: Turn to your entrepreneurial network.
