Being 1st to Do Something Matters Little in Life
from A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach · host Phil Svitek
Far too often we put and emphasis on being first to do something. We use it as a means of comparison. For example, "my kid learned to read before yours." Who cares? If the other child learned to read then that's all that matters. Life can't be measured the same way as a 100 meter dash. There being first does matter. But if you're running a business, being first often matters little. It's about staying IN business. And you can extract that to individual parts of life too. So why do we hold onto this belief of being 1st in things? It is this idea that I unpack and explore in this episode. I'd love for you to join and afterwards be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I'd love to hear from you!
