✎ Most entrepreneurs feel like they’re falling behind when they see others hitting big wins — new funding, sales, life updates. In this video, Evan Carmichael walks you through why that’s an illusion. He explains social comparison theory, how we compare our behind-the-scenes to others’ highlight reels, and why imposter syndrome is something nearly every founder including top CEOs faces.
✎ You’ll see real stories to show how success really works: James Dyson made 5,127 prototypes over many years before landing on a winning design. The WD-40 spray was perfected only after 39 failed attempts. Colonel Harland Sanders launched KFC franchising at age 62. Evan also shares his own journey: from 25 YouTube subscribers in the early days to millions today. These stories dispel the myth of overnight success and show you how delayed gratification, consistency, and grit win over time.
✎ But this video isn’t just about theory — you get clear, actionable steps you can use today. Limit your social media triggers, use others’ wins as inspiration not benchmarks, compare only to your past self, find mentors, build a caring community, and focus on what you can control. Your pace is unique, your story is still unfolding, and every day you show up, you are building — not falling behind.
