Summary

Life gets easier when you decide to play your own game. From an early age, we are taught through school that life is a game to win against our peers. Value and success are determined on a uniform scale regardless of an individual's background or strengths. This perspective teaches us that the only way to stand out is to be better at the same task that everyone else around you is doing. This episode is a reminder that it’s not always about being better, but rather, being different.

Don’t forget to check out our new free Back to Biz program that has 400 individual class lessons, articles, and resources to help your business grow and evolve.  

Enjoy!

We're graded on a uniform scale no matter our background, our strengths, our weaknesses, our future goals,

This insane, pointless system of competition is baked into the 20th century educational model.

We're taught that life is a game of musical chairs and that if we don't hustle, we're going

to be left standing without a seat.

0:36.2

This in it to win it mentality is the polar opposite of a creative mindset,

0:41.3

which is abundant, resilient, and full of potential. Aiming to be better is a dead end because it

0:48.9

means you'll walking in someone else's footsteps and trying to catch up. Life gets so much easier once you

We've just, we're trying our best to emerge from this pandemic.

They are not the thing that we were put on this planet to be.

When we tell our parents
