The Danger Of Keeping Up With The Joneses

It’s easy to look at other people and wish that we were in their shoes. Perhaps they’re successful, financially independent, or content in their relationships, but as Rob explains in this week’s show, things may not always be as they appear, and their path to success may be incompatible with the life you personally lead.   It’s always good to have goals in life, but by following Rob’s insights you can make sure you never lose sight of the most important thing; to be yourself.     Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Sometimes the success that other people have attained is not immediately possible for others. This can have a negative mental effect on people. Social media is a catalyst for this, as it presents a sometimes unrealistic version of life. Kevin Clifton recently gave an example of almost taking a certain job in order to quiet his critics. He thankfully realised in time, though, that he really didn’t want to take the job, and that he was only considering it in order to please others. There will always be someone out there with a greater level of success. Treat these people as aspirational instead of as antagonists. Carve your own path. Some key questions you need to be asking yourself, and which can help you to design your life: What do you want out of your life? What is your why? What does this look like and feel like for you? Sticking to a strategy is perfectly acceptable. Don’t be ashamed. Be proud. Be congruent. Do what is right for you. Follow your path; it’s your life.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘He was only going to take the job to shut other people up’   ’There is always going to be someone out there who’s more successful than you’   ’Success leaves clues’   ’There is no shame in sticking to your own strategy’    VALUABLE RESOURCES   The Property Nomads Website The Property Nomads Podcast – iTunes The Property Nomads - Stitcher Buy To Let: How To Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon)   ABOUT THE HOST   Rob Smallbone, Rachael Taylor and Matt McSherry, the hosts of The Property Nomads Podcast, are on a global mission to guide your success.
