Hello, friends. Welcome to Level Up with Debbie Neal. I am your host. There is nowhere. I would rather be

than right here, right now with you. This podcast is all about leveling up in all aspects of our lives.

Thank you for being here. I am so grateful. I'm excited to be on this journey with you.

Together, we are leveling up. You ready?

Happy Monday, my level up family. Last week we spoke about positivity, being positive and shining our light of hope in this world

is everything. The more positive we are, the better our life, period. And the more we level up.

Today, we're going to be talking about a topic that sometimes we want to avoid.

We want to make like it's not there.

We want to make like it's not the reason why we're not leveling up in life, but it does play

a major part.

It's something that we all know does not serve us on any level, but yet we still do it.

you to be more, and they're going to tell you, don't compare yourself to anyone else.

Stay in your own lane. Put on your blinders. Comparison brings on insecurity. Comparison leads us down this dark rabbit hole. You ever go down that rabbit hole?

So I think we've all gone down that rabbit hole. And I know there are so many advantages to social media.

Okay. And I don't want to make like social media as the culprit. Because again, what is something I always train on? It's not what happens to us. It's how we let it affect us. So we're not playing the comparison game because the social media, right? We have to take responsibility for what we do in our actions, right? I know there are so many

advantages to social media. However, there are so many disadvantages to social media. And I want to

share my personal success story with you. So I started my journey to entrepreneurship 15 years ago.

I had huge goals. I had huge goals.

I had a huge vision.

I was focused and I was on a mission.
