Have you ever compared yourself to people online?

The first year of my journey was full of comparison.

One of the creators I came across at the start of my journey was Iman Gadzhi: Someone who made his first $1M at 18.

But me?

Here I was, also 18, struggling to succeed with my SMMA (same business model as Iman).

The result?

• Guilt
• Frustration
• Resentment

I continued to battle this until eventually, I came across people like Naval Ravikant and Robert Greene.... and they completely shifting my world view.

Here is one of Naval's quotes: "Escape competition through authenticity."

Here I was, as an ambitious 18-year-old, trying to make achieve something meaningful in life — but following someone else's path.

But by now, I had realised this wasn't the way to success or fulfilment.

If I wanted to succeed, I had to lean into what makes me, me.

• My passions and curiosities

• My strengths and qualities
• My story and experience

As it turns out, my "problems" were actually symptoms of not truly knowing myself — and how to leverage what makes me unique.

Fast forward, now years into my journey, I've escaped comparison entirely.

Do I look up to people like Hormozi, Steve Jobs, or even Leonardo da Vinci?

Yes, but for inspiration — and it truly does inspire me to become better.

So, if you are currently struggling, chances are, you're not leaning into what makes you, you.

But remember:

"You were born an original. Don't die a copy." — John Mason

After all, what is life if we don't carve out our own path?

Not a life that is truly ours, anyway.

So lean in.

Get to truly know yourself.

And build something only you can create.

And make sure to carve out your own path along the way ;)
