Get out your diaries - this week, we're having a candid and raw conversation about the "comparison game" on social media (something that we struggle with ourselves) and how to combat the feelings of envy that often come up when we look at others' presence on social platforms. We're also diving in to our learned tactics to help you focus on your own goals and stop the negative cycle of comparison that's holding you back from becoming more successful social media managers, business owners, and humans in general.

Here's a peek at what we're covering in this episode:

[00:03:32] - Karly and Kyrsten walk through their own weaknesses when it comes to self comparison on social media, and explain how comparison can negatively impact your business, ultimately wasting your energy and draining you of motivation.

[00:12:31] - Karly and Kyrsten explain the problem with looking to our peers for inspiration and share how putting blinders on to focus on your own goals is crucial.

[00:17:02]: Karly and Kyrsten share what to do next time you're caught up in comparing yourself to someone else in your industry. They explain their belief that what's meant for us will come to us and how learning to let go and trust the process has been so important for their business.

[00:30:50]: Karly and Kyrsten close out with a few pieces of advice that they've implemented in their business to stay focused on their goals and their growth, instead of comparing their success to others' on social media.
