Hello Fam It's Monday. Let’s go. New month. Which means your feed is about to fill up with "October Recap" carousels. Big revenue number, team photo, caption about how far we've come. Close the app. 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗘𝗟𝗦𝗘’𝗦 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗟 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘. The standard fix is "only compete with yesterday’s you." Good advice. Almost nobody does it right. "Compete with yourself" isn’t a scoreboard. It’s a feeling. A scoreboard is a list. And if you feel like you’ve barely moved this year, that’s normal. You can’t see your own progress from the middle of the work. Feeling slow while you’re still building is the right place to be. There is book The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy explains why measuring yourself against an ideal leaves you feeling frustrated and unsuccessful. The Gap is focusing on how far you still have to go, while the Gain is recognizing how far you've already come. By measuring progress backward instead of chasing an ever-moving finish line, you build confidence, motivation, and a healthier definition of success. This one’s going to sting a little. If you sit down with a blank page and can’t write ten things you can do now that you couldn’t do last November, that’s not a motivation problem. That’s data. And if all ten are new logos, new tools, and a new website, it’s still a short list. A client can’t pay for any of it. Better to find that out on a Monday in November than a Monday in January. 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞. 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭. Two columns. Left: what you couldn’t do last November. Right: what you do now. - Ran a discovery call. - Sent a proposal without rewriting it six times. - Quoted a retainer without flinching. 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭. Revenue, clients, conversations started per week. Then versus now. Don’t round up . 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝. Take the hours your first proposal ate last year and subtract what one takes today. Multiply by your hourly rate. That’s the raise you gave yourself.
