When we look around, we can often feel like everyone is ahead of us. Be it that colleague that just got a promotion we’ve wanted for years, that friend that is killing it in her business, or that younger sibling that is getting married first. But as serial entrepreneur Anne Cocquyt says, comparison is the best recipe for unhappiness. Our failures can look like success to someone else and vice versa. So the key is defining for yourself what success looks like to YOU.

Tune in to this episode to hear from Anne about:



How to use “you can’t” as a motivator

Travel as the perfect way to learn how to lean in

How to hone in and follow your inner compass

What entrepreneurial failure taught her about being humble

How getting married two months after meeting her husband taught her how to trust her instincts

The importance of female networks

Why thinking about the worst outcome actually gives you courage

The importance of fighting for your values



Anne’s recommended resources:



* Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman

* Piloting Your Life with Terri Hanson Mead

* Advice to my younger me with Sara Holtz
