We have two little boys close in age. They're six and eight years old right now, and it is common for

them to compete or compare. My husband calls this the comparison game and can often be heard

telling the boys, stop with the comparison game. Do you do this too? Do you look at other

entrepreneurs and compare yourself and find that you

sometimes don't measure up i get it you're not alone i do it too everyone does but the good news is

that everyone's a mess, including me.

Before we dive in, may I welcome you to the bizchicks podcast?

I'm your host, Natalie Eckdahl.

I'm a business strategist, former competitive swimmer, out-of-the-box thinker, author, speaker,

mama, caregiver, MBA, and CEO of BizChicks, Inc. I'm obsessed with helping women with service businesses grow and scale while

retaining more profit, delivering more impact, and creating more time for their VIPs.

My VIPs are my husband Mark and our three children for their VIPs.

My VIPs are my husband Mark and our three children ages 6 to 18 and our kittens,

Missy and Max.

I have a very full life running a home, family, and this dream business where we coach and

train high performing women entrepreneurs from around the world. Currently, I have three teams helping me do

more of what I love, the amazing bizchicks team, my incredible home support team, and a loving

team of caregivers helping my mom. My favorite thing to encourage other women is to get as much

help as they can afford. And may I remind you that just

because you can do something does not mean that you should. If you are listening in real time,

we are about to head into the holiday season. Hold on. Strap in get ready. In the United States, we have

Thanksgiving, then Hanukkah starts December 10th this year, then Christmas, then New Year's.
