To let that happen the main sub is dedicated to answering questions about subscriber’s own small businesses.

Many people also want to talk about things which are not specific questions about their own business. We don’t want to disappoint those subscribers and provide this post as a place to share that content without overwhelming specific and often less popular simple questions.

    YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE
    Everyone around you will always seem to grow and be ahead of you. And yes someone will always be ahead of you in the game. That’s just how it is. There is no getting around it.
    HOWEVER, dont fret! You are doing great! You are at the level you need to be based on your experience. You can’t try to beat the level 100 boss when you’re at level 1. You will always lose, no matter what. Build up yourself, your skills, your qualities, your assets so that you can eventually beat that level 100 boss.
    It will take work though. You’re gonna be working really hard for a really long time before you even begin to see a shred of that level.
    So it’s that much more important to cultivate this one quality: contentment.
    Contentment will allow you to find success and progress in everything you do, whether you fail a bunch of times or don’t win (Yes you heard me). You will always lose. But depending on how you view those fails, you can always win. Your wins can be lessons learned, skills acquired, and insight.
    So keep failing, keep seeing how you can do bettter, and find the contentment within yourself that you are doing the right thing. You are fine just where you are. And you can keep winning as long as you put your mind in the right place.
    Your wins are your wins. No one can dictate whether or not your winning or losing. Schools have dialed us in the mentality that you are winning or losing based on a grade system. However, itdoesn’t have to be that way. You can view anything and everything you do as wins. Big or small.
    So go out and crush the game 🤙🏽 cant wait to see those wins
