Blooming Voices Podcast

Why did he get promoted and not me?? Yep, we’re going there in today’s episode! We’re talking about jealousy and envy in life or business. What can we do about it?

Takeaways

• Am I as excited for myself in my career or life as I am for other people?
• It’s normal to feel a little envious of those that you aspire to be like. Let that drive you to keep trying.
• We are all on our own journey and it’s perfectly timed for us.
• A lot of entrepreneurs have full-time jobs; you’re not alone.
• As a creative business, you need to be the business person before the artist.
• We get to choose what we believe.
• What beliefs do you have about yourself that are hurting you rather than propelling you forward?
• Treat yourself with the value you deserve.
• Sometimes we have to dig deep to get to the core truth about what really motivates us or stops us from moving forward.
• Do what feels comfortable to you, but experiment as well. Think of marketing like “can Sally come out to play?”
• Marketing is a numbers game: the more you do, the more chance of getting something back.
• Marketing yourself or your product can be difficult if you aren’t the aggressive type or don’t like talking to strangers! Do what feels comfortable to you, but experiment as well. Think of marketing like “can Sally come out to play?”
• Focus on what is in front of you. You don’t need to race against others.
• Believe whatever is meant for you will come to you easily.
• Do what you love in the way you love doing it. You don’t have to constantly talk or post about it or prove it to anyone else.
• “Jealousy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.”
• Remember: Shine your own light while cheering others doing the same.
• A creative mindset is one of abundance and limitless possibilities. A competitive mindset implies lack or scarcity. Which one will you choose?
