People often say to me; I wish I could do what you're doing. I hope I could have the same options as you do.
Sometimes I feel this way about other entrepreneurs. I think, "dang I wish I could do what they're doing."
The problem is, we are acting like they have some magical ability. That we cannot and do not possess. Sure, they may have skills and abilities that we don't have yet. But those things can be learned in time.
Figuring Out What They're Doing
Even though comparing ourselves to others is not always a good thing, it can sometimes make us realize what we want to live. In a world with so many options, it can be stressful trying to figure out what we want to do. By breaking down what the person we want to be, is doing. We can usually figure out what they are doing to get there. Recently I felt like this about someone I've been networking with; he's only 20 years old. He's making more than double of what I am. It seems as though, he can run his business with so much ease. I feel like I'm a stressed-out mess most the time. But when I started to break down what he was doing, I realize that it wasn't that crazy or that difficult. Once I began to do what he was doing, I know that I have the same results as he does. So instead of being upset, sad, or even jealous. I could have the same thing he does. It just takes a little bit of hard work and dedication.
We often feel somewhat robbed, when we see someone else doing what we want to do. But it seems like we don't have the opportunity to do so. But with the Internet, along with all the resources these days, we can mostly have what we want. We have to be willing to work for it. Next time you feel like you want to be somewhere else in life. Find someone who already is there. Talk to them, or learn as much as you can about them. Try and figure out what they're doing figure out their baby steps. And start heading in that direction.
You can get anywhere you want to in life. We often forget that.
