Watch out! There's another virus sweeping the world right now, have you caught it? Protect yourself now.
Comparison-itis Reaches Epidemic
I got an email yesterday from one of my Fabulous Formula clients that said she was starting to question a big project she's been putting together. She wrote to me:
"....all of these other people that I've been following are doing stuff that sounds similar.....I'm confused and a bit nervous....I know I have a solid idea... but hmmmm... I'm starting to wonder"
I know she's not the only one who has had a case of "comparison-itis" come over her that causes extreme stage fright when working on a new project. So, I thought I'd post my prescription for her here for anyone who's ever had a debilitating case of Comparison-itis.
STOP LOOKING AT EVERYBODY ELSE!
Do YOUR work.
If you waste time looking at what everyone else is doing and then start second guessing what you are doing you are never going to actually DO anything!
Stop trying to "come up with an idea that's going to make you money" and start connecting with your Inner Wisdom and the message you are inspired to share with the world.
If you are looking at what everybody else is out there doing and then trying to come up with something that is kind of like what you think is going to sell, I've got 3 words for you: Don't Do It.
YOUR work really has nothing to do with what everybody else is doing, it has to do with what YOUR people (your ideal clients) want and need, and that stems from YOUR conversation with them.
You have got to build your relationship with your ideal clients. You do that through writing, speaking, tele-seminars, unique programs, unique articles & tips in your ezine and on your blog, networking, finding your voice and expressing it in your own unique & fabulous way.
Your relationship with your people will be unique and special if YOU are being YOU, expressing Your Unique Essence, YOUR MOJO. No one else is YOU.
Now, go do that voo-doo that only you can do.
