Do you ever catch yourself scrolling through Instagram, comparing your offers, your branding, or even your pricing to someone else’s? I’ve been there, more times than I’d like to admit. It feels like “research,” but in reality? It’s a competition trap that drains your energy and steals your momentum.
In this episode, I’m sharing my own confession about becoming a “competition stalker” and how I broke the cycle. We’ll talk about:
Why obsessing over competitors keeps you stuck and second-guessing yourself
The real cost of comparison (it’s more than just wasted time)
How to put yourself on a “competitor diet” and redirect that energy toward your clients
Building your own scorecard to measure progress that actually matters
Simple ways to create client experiences that bring referrals, repeat business, and stability
At the end of the day, your competitors aren’t paying your bills, your clients are. The more you focus on serving them well, the faster your business will grow.
This week, mute or unfollow the competitors who trigger your comparison cycle. Instead, use that time to serve your clients or improve your systems.
