Wednesday's BOLD LAW..Best advice I ever got from a coach about this... " Don't compare your insides to someone else' outsides
Here is another great way to remember this BOLD LAW when we start comparing ourselves to others..." our insides to other's outsides ".
To set it up, many years ago , I was attending a Mike Ferry Superstar Retreat for 3,000+ of the best real estate agents in the country . Up on the stage, a panel of very successful agents had just concluded a Q & A session in which they told us the number of sales and production they were currently doing.
Afterwards , I was comparing myself to them. I was not in a necessarily good place with it because my production at that time was way below theirs. My great coach, Tim Wood , without hearing anything I was saying , and because he knew me well , and what I was probably thinking, walked right up to me and with an intense fiery look in his his eyes , passionately got right in my face and said , " HEY ! You need to define and remember your OWN definition of success for YOU ! Yours and yours only ! Not HIS definition of success for you, not HER definition of success for you, not even MY definition of success for you ! YOURs and YOURS only !!! YOU focus on YOUR definition of success for YOU and YOU only !!!! Got it ? "....and then he walked away.
Tim passed away a few months ago and that was just one of many lessons I learned from him and probably the most important one. Rest in peace , Tim. We all miss you dearly and thank you every day for the lessons you taught so many of us over the years we were fortunate enough to work with you
What is your definition of success for you ? Once you have defined it, go out and be the best version of yourself for you and you only.
Do NOT compare your insides to other people's outsides.
