How we took the Entrepreneurial Leap

SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Android Apps

Sure – it’s great to be your own boss, but what do you do when you face the fear when actually quitting your job? What kind of mindset shifts do you need to make in order to not just survive, but thrive?
In this episode, I (alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin) talk about how we took our respective leaps into entrepreneurship. We bear all – the good, the bad and the ugly – about what it’s been like starting and growing our businesses. Both of us get super specific about why we actually took the leap and our thought processes along the way. We also talk about how entrepreneurship, just like money, is simply a tool that can help us live the lives we want, and we share simple questions you can ask to feel more comfortable when making tough decisions in your financial lives and beyond.

Do you find yourself feeling bad or jealous when you see other’s “success”? What happens when we start comparing ourselves to others?

In this episode, I (alongside former co-host Garrett Philbin) talk about how comparing ourselves to others takes a toll on both our financial and emotional well-being. We talk about how “keeping up with the Joneses” has evolved and been exacerbated by social media, how to catch ourselves when we fall into the comparison trap, and how getting clear on our priorities and values allows us to break that cycle.

We also go over some simple exercises and questions to ask yourself when you find yourself falling into the comparison trap. They also chat about how they’ve fallen into this themselves, and what they’ve done to get out of it.
