The Fail To Win Podcast Episode 302
We’ve all felt it.
That sinking, twisting feeling when you see a competitor post their “big win.” Maybe it’s a sold-out launch. Maybe it’s a fancy photoshoot in your dream location. Maybe it’s just a perfectly curated carousel you wish you’d made.
Here’s the thing: jealousy is human. But in business, if you let it sit, it becomes toxic. It drains your energy, dilutes your voice, and steals your focus from the only thing that matters, your clients and your goals.
In this week’s Fail to Win episode, I break down exactly how I’ve learned to flip jealousy from a liability into my secret weapon for growth.
The Problem With Constant Comparison
When you spend more time looking at your competitor’s content than your own, you start building their brand in your head. You lose sight of your strengths, and you risk accidentally copying them. Not out of malice, but because you’re all swimming in the same algorithm.
This doesn’t just hurt your creativity. It drains your confidence and momentum.
How I Protect My Focus
Over the years, I’ve built a simple but powerful system:
- Mute my biggest competitors: protects my peace and stops accidental copying.
- Schedule competitor research: no mindless scrolling, just intentional 30–60 minute sessions.
- Use jealousy as data: every trigger is a clue about what I really want.
- Focus on my clients, not my competitors: because they’re the ones paying me, not watching me.
Turning Jealousy Into Market Research
When you feel triggered, pause and ask: “What about this do I want?”
I once saw someone making a big deal about something small, and it hit me. I wasn’t celebrating my own wins enough. That one realization led me to book a big Paris photoshoot and launch my program with more visibility than ever before.
Why Peace Is Profitable
Protecting your focus is just as important as protecting your profits. That’s why I use the Opal app to block social media at night. No late-night comparison spirals, no losing sleep over someone else’s highlight reel.
