Corollary #1: Comparison is the thief of joy

Corollary #1: Comparison is the thief of joy

By Scott Sambucci | September 3, 2021

You may have big lofty goals to be the unicorn🦄 or to be the next Facebook, Tesla, or Google for your industry…

Well, you should have those. 

✅ If you’re truly solving an important problem in the marketplace.

✅ You’re adding value and you know that your product solves that problem.

✅ You know how to service your customers.

✅ You know that your customers are getting tremendous value out of the service that you’re providing to them. 

🔥Then, absolutely! Create those big, hairy, audacious goals. 

Create a vision and execute on your mission. 

🚀Go for it!

👊 Even if you don’t get there in the time that you expect, it’s important to remember that you took nothing – an idea that you conjured up in your mind, you saw a problem, and you tell yourself that somebody ought to fix that problem. 

⛰️So whether you have 2, 20, or 200 customers ➜ you are doing 20k or 200k in revenue ➜ 2 or 20 million in revenue — wherever you are in that journey, don’t worry about what other people are doing. 

Take a moment and just say, “Wow, look what we’ve done. We’ve started with nothing and we’re at this place,” and be #happy with that.

Don’t look around and say, “I should’ve beat that person,” or “I should’ve been faster,” or “What if this, what if that,”. 

🥳Just tell yourself, be happy.
