What's the real barrier standing between you and your dreams? The answer might surprise you. It's not your circumstances, your background, or even your competition—it's likely yourself.
We're conditioned from childhood to view life as a competition, constantly measuring our progress against others. I vividly remember sitting in my real estate office, staring at transaction numbers and thinking, "There's no way I could ever do that." But the breakthrough came when I realized I wasn't losing to my colleagues; I was losing to a version of myself that chose comparison over action. The moment I stopped measuring myself against others' highlight reels and focused instead on setting my own achievable goals, everything changed.
This episode tackles the self-imposed limitations that keep us stuck: procrastination disguised as productivity, the fear of imperfection that prevents us from starting, and the crippling comparison that has us convinced we're somehow "behind" in life. Rather than competing with others, what if we simply tried to outpace yesterday's version of ourselves? What if we celebrated small progress instead of being paralyzed by perceived gaps? I share personal stories of overcoming these mental roadblocks—from finally launching this podcast despite my insecurities to completing a race I never thought possible by competing only with myself.
Ready to stop being your own roadblock? I challenge you to identify what's holding you back, call it out loud to diminish its power, and take one brave step toward your dreams. Remember, you don't need anyone's permission to move forward. You just need to get out of your own way. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that they're not behind—they're just one decision away from moving forward.
