Insights With Trent Munday

Well-known Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson, is attributed with the quote... 'Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not who somebody else is today.' That's probably a message that a lot of people need to hear. And it's fine if your end goal is simply self-improvement. But if you want that promotion, if you want to be the best...it's probably not enough. Because to achieve those things, you will be compared to the other guys and gals. Also, if just being better than you were yesterday is you target, you'll probably end up being 1x better. But if you strive to be better than the best, even if you fail you might still end up being 4x better than you were yesterday. So, my suggestion, keep that as a baseline KPI.  If you can just keep being better than you were yesterday, then that's a win. If you can do that, there's no need to beat yourself up. But if you want to be the best...you'd better compare yourself to who somebody else is today...because that's your competition. #selfimprovement #
