Send us a textWhy do some people succeed while others struggle? This question sits at the heart of our entrepreneurial journeys, and the answer might surprise you. Beyond luck and timing, success often comes down to momentum and mindset—specifically, how we handle our early attempts and whether we fall into the trap of learned helplessness.Through a fascinating experiment, we uncover how people primed for failure with impossible tasks became less likely to solve problems they were perfectly capable of tackling. The implications for entrepreneurs are profound. When we experience early failures, we often internalize the belief that future efforts will also fail, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy that limits our potential. Conversely, small early wins build confidence and momentum that propel us forward through increasingly difficult challenges.Social media amplifies this phenomenon by bombarding us with seemingly overnight success stories and inflated income claims. We discuss why comparing your chapter one to someone else's chapter twenty leads to unnecessary frustration and how defining success on your own terms is crucial. What if making $300,000 monthly requires sacrifices in areas you value most, like family time or personal well-being? True success aligns with your personal priorities, not someone else's highlight reel. We share practical strategies for building momentum through intentionally small wins, breaking down intimidating tasks, and celebrating progress rather than fixating on perfection. Whether in business, parenting, or personal growth, this mindset shift can transform your relationship with success and failure.Ready to break free from the comparison trap and build momentum your way?
