Summary
Nobody's life is perfect. All too often, we make the mistake of comparing ourselves to others who seem incredibly successful. At IGNTD, we’ve worked with many of these so-called “perfect” people, and know firsthand that they struggle just as much as anyone else.
The only difference? What makes the people you look up to successful isn’t that they are perfect (they aren’t). It’s that they've taken the steps to focus on what's going on in THEIR lives and reached out to others for the help they need. To be successful, you need to stop focusing on comparing yourself to others and start focusing on what YOU need to do to improve your own life.

| 0:12.5 | motivation from us and our great friends to keep you feeling ignited and inspired no matter what |
| 0:18.0 | life throws at you. Welcome to the Ignited Motivation podcast, mini episodes every |
| 0:23.3 | Monday. Listen while you brush your teeth or on your morning walk. And you'll never miss out on the |
| 0:28.6 | latest tips and tricks that are keeping us feeling motivated. Hello, everybody, happy Monday. |
| 0:35.4 | I hope we're having a good start to your day. And I'm going to start your week off today with a little riddle. And that is, what do you, a serial tech entrepreneur, an energy mogul, a football quarterback, and a world famous musician have in common? I'll give you a little second to put down an answer. |
| 0:57.2 | You can pause this if you need a little help. |
| 1:00.4 | Got it? |
| 1:02.9 | All right, I'm going to give you the answer. |
| 1:04.8 | The answer is that what you all have in common is your life isn't perfect. |
| 1:09.6 | See, what I hear from so many people constantly is |
| 1:13.8 | comparing themselves to others and especially in the world we live in right now |
| 1:17.9 | comparing yourself to other people who seem to you like they're doing |
| 1:21.7 | incredibly well. Well I got to tell you I've worked with each one of these people and their life isn't perfect either. |
| 1:31.5 | And you got to stop making that mistake of comparing what you think somebody else's life is like with what you feel like is going on inside for you. |
| 1:40.9 | Now, one of the major differences potentially is that most of these other people have |
| 1:47.0 | also learned something else along the way. And that is that other people are necessary for their |
| 1:52.8 | success. They need to ask for help, right? Tech entrepreneurs ask for monies and investment and |
| 1:59.8 | advice from other people who have been there before and know how to do |
| 2:03.3 | it. These energy people the same, right? They need the money. They need the expertise of the people who can |
