Had a similar conversation recently. The advice I got was to not worry about what others are doing (or seem to be doing) and focus on myself and my business. Makes so much sense. I love facebook’s “snooze” feature.
Smart advice Jean! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the valuable advice. I was also going through a similar situation. I have been in the business for more than 5 years but still find difficulty in building up the business. I see a friend of mine who just started 2 years ago and is doing very well. I feel really down and feel like just letting the business go but something inside me don’t want to let it go as well. So, thank you very much.
As with any business, there are definitely challenging times. We have to remember we are competing with ourselves and not so much against the other planners.
