About this episode

In this Monday Moment episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk for anyone starting the week feeling behind. I talk about how comparing my behind-the-scenes to someone else’s Instagram highlight reel makes it easy to believe I’m failing, even though I’m not seeing the years of building, failed launches, pivots, mistakes, and almost-give-up moments that came before their breakthrough. This week, I challenge you to stop comparing your timeline, unfollow accounts that make you feel behind, stay in your own lane, and ask, “What am I building right now that’s going to matter later?” Timestamps: 01:23 Comparison Trap 02:26 No Timeline Truth 02:48 Pause and Notice 03:43 My Timeline Lesson 04:44 This Week Action Steps 05:11 Right on Time Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?
