A reader messaged me last week ready to quit.

“Nobody’s reading. This feels pointless.”

I asked her to look at how far she’d come:

She crossed 1,000 subscribers in a year, launched her first digital product, and doing something she loves.

“You’re right,” she said. “I’ve been comparing myself to all these overnight success stories.”

Focus on your own path.

The comparison game keeps you stuck. But your timeline is the only one that matters.
