In this Business Wisdom Series episode, Steph and Megan are answering a question most of us have wrestled with: Are you pushing hard enough to grow? What about pushing too hard?

We get into how to not compare yourself: to others, to other versions of yourself, to the past or future version of yourself.

In the clarity part of the conversation, we dive into practical tips for you to achieve your goals all while feeling that you’re doing enough.

Lauren’s question: As a part-time blogger who wants to go full-time someday, how do you know if you’re pushing yourself hard enough? How do you gauge your pace and your progress without measuring your efforts against other people in your niche? How to avoid that demoralizing comparison trap but also avoid cuddling yourself into routines that may not be enough to get you to your goal? I’m very curious to know your thoughts on how you walk the line between self-compassion and your entrepreneurial hustle.
