In this episode, Emma delves into the detrimental effects of comparison on your property journey and offers practical strategies to overcome it. Emma emphasises that comparison can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and distraction from personal goals. Emma shares insightful quotes and encourages listeners to focus on their unique strengths, practice self-compassion, and redirect their energy towards actionable steps that foster growth. KEY TAKEAWAYS Comparing yourself to others can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and wasted energy. It's essential to recognise that everyone's journey is unique and to focus on your progress instead. Be aware of what triggers your feelings of comparison, whether it's social media, networking events, or conversations. Understanding these triggers can help you manage and avoid them. Focus on your own goals and measure your progress against your past self rather than others. Celebrate your milestones, no matter how small, and use key performance indicators (KPIs) to track your achievements. Be kind to yourself and recognise that everyone's journey is different. Allow room for mistakes and growth, and avoid harsh self-criticism by treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer to others. When you catch yourself comparing, pause and redirect that energy into productive actions that move you forward in your property journey. Focus on tasks that contribute to your growth and success. BEST MOMENTS  "Comparison is the thief of joy." "You don't know what their situation is. You don't know whether they have just been given a whole massive chunk of money." "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms." "The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday." "Energy spent comparing yourself to others is energy wasted. Invest it in your own growth."  HOST BIO Emma Howitt is a seasoned property coach, mindset expert, and entrepreneur with many years of experience in transforming lives through property investing.
