This episode is not what you think.Yes, it’s practical - but it’s also real and honest and a little messy.I get vulnerable and I share that I had a realization last year that I had subconsciously stopped sharing an inside look at my business.If I’m honest - I stopped sharing because I felt uncertain with how I was doing things and I felt exposed. I knew I was doing things wrong, but I didn’t know how to do it right. Sharing that felt like too much.But a few things happened in early 2023 that shifted my perspective - and I recommitted to sharing the journey - the good, bad, and ugly - with you.In this episode, I detailed WHAT happened and the biggest takeaway I learned from it all: avoid dead end questions.(Dead end questions are questions that lead you nowhere and get you stuck. They don’t have logical answers and use the past to prevent the future).If you want to know more about this recent shift in my business AND learn how I’ve opened up possibilities by avoiding dead end questions (and how you can do the same), click play.

Have you ever found yourself comparing your journey or your results to someone else’s? Have asked yourself questions like: Why hasn’t it happened yet? What am I doing wrong? Why does it feel so hard?If so: you’re not alone. It’s common to use other people’s timelines or results as a measure of what we should do or should have in a certain amount of time.But here’s what I’ve learned about this: I have NO idea how someone got their results. None. And so to compare myself and what I have (or don’t have) is simply a waste of time, energy and focus.Instead of asking “why not me?” I’ve learned to ask different questions - questions like “who must I become to get what I want? What must I learn to get what I want? How must I be patient to get what I want?If you want to know my exact process for getting out of the comparison trap and staying focused on what matters, click play now to hear me share:[00:20] The common questions that we ask when we’re comparing ourselves[02:02] The reality of what we see v. what we don’t see[03:42] The questions that can help us refocus and get results[07:47] The importance of celebrating others[08:29] “What is this all for?” - the question I asked myself a few weeks ago in yoga class and how I answered it[10:36] How to enjoy the process, even when it’s hard[15:16] A summary of the three-step framework I use to move out of comparison quicklyFor full show notes, visit: jasminestar.com/podcast/episode339

In fact - our brains will often do everything they can to “keep us safe” from perceived discomfort or pain.That’s right - as you’re thinking about all the things you wanna do this year and the big ways you want your business to grow, your brain is actually sending out blaring signs like “AVOID THAT.
