Finding People Who Are Better Than You

Don't be jealous or envious of people who are better than you. At anything.

Why?

Because the way you improve is by finding and learning from those people. Whether directly through mentorship, or indirectly by observing the things they do.

Olympic athletes have coaches.

Even millionaire entrepreneurs have people they meet with every week or so for guidance. Who are those those? Probably billionaire entrepreneurs.

Don't worry about not being the best in the world just yet.

It only means you have all the more people you can learn from every single day.
