Stop comparing yourself to them.
You're looking at their year 5 and comparing it to your year 1.
Of course you feel behind.
Let me show you what you're actually comparing.
Them: 5 years in. 10,000 hours of reps. Failed 47 times. Finally figured it out.
You: 6 months in. Still learning. Haven't failed enough yet.
It's not a fair comparison.
But here's what you don't see on their feed:

Their year 1 looked like your year 1.
Struggling. Confused. Making $0. Ready to quit.
The difference is they kept going.
And now you're comparing your beginning to their middle.
Here's the shift.
Stop looking at where they are now.
Start looking at where they were at your stage.
Because I guarantee their month 6 looked a lot like your month 6.
Small wins. Lots of failures. Barely any traction.
They're not better than you.
They're just further along.
And the only way to get where they are is to stop comparing and start executing.
Because time is the only difference between you and them.
They put in the years. You're still in year 1.
So give yourself the same timeline you give them.
Stop comparing. Start building.
You'll get there if you don't quit.
