Comparison Killing Your Vibe (& Income)? Let's Fix It.

Apr 04, 2025

That Comparison Thing? It's Costing You More Than You Think.

Ever open Instagram? Just for a second. Maybe to post about your work. Next thing you know… 

You're deep in someone else's feed. Seeing their big wins. Their perfect-looking clients. That "fully booked!" announcement. And that spark you had?

Gone.

Replaced with a heavy sigh. A little voice whispers, "Why not me?" Your energy just tanks. Self-doubt rolls in. Sound familiar?

Yeah. Welcome to the comparison trap. It’s that sneaky habit. Measuring your messy behind-the-scenes… against their polished highlight reel. 

It’s especially strong for us solopreneurs. People running our own shows. Often in creative or service fields. Where things look shiny online.

We see the finished product. The rave reviews. The big launches. 

We don't see the struggles. The late nights. The doubts. The rejections. The years of work it took to get there.

This isn't just about feeling crummy for a bit. This comparison habit? It directly messes with your business decisions. It chips away at your confidence.

And yes. It can seriously hurt your income. And just your overall sense of okay-ness. The good news? There IS another way. 

You can choose to focus on your own path. Your unique journey. No matter what anyone else is posting. Let's break down how comparison really hurts your wallet. 

And why focusing on you is the key.

Why's Comparison So Rough for Solopreneurs?

It feels like comparison hits us extra hard, right?

Here’s why:

  • Social media is designed for shiny wins. We see the best bits. Not the messy reality. It’s a skewed picture.
  • Pricing things like design, coaching, writing? It can feel subjective. So we look sideways. Trying to find clues. But their situation isn't yours. Their prices might not make sense for you.
  • The solopreneur path isn't straight. No clear ladder. Lots of twists, turns, experiments. It’s easy to look at someone else's seemingly straight path and feel behind.
  • Putting your work out there? It’s vulnerable! Comparison loves to poke at that imposter syndrome feeling. Making you doubt if you're good enough. If you even belong.

How Comparison Messes With Your Money (For Real)

This isn't just feelings. It hits your bank account.

Pricing Weirdness. See high prices, feel scared to charge your worth? See low prices, panic and want to discount? Pricing based on them instead of your value, costs, and ideal clients? That costs you. Big time.

Chasing Trends. Someone's killing it with Reels? Or a certain kind of offer? You jump on it. Even if it feels wrong for you. Wasting energy. Instead of focusing on what actually works for your business.

Getting Stuck. Feeling "less than"? It can freeze you. You delay launching. Avoid marketing. Second-guess everything. Slowing down your growth. And your income.

Forgetting Your Magic. Focusing on their strengths makes you forget yours. Your unique skills, perspective, genius. The exact things that make people want to work with you.

Warped Money Goals. Seeing flashy lifestyles online? Can make you chase goals that aren't truly yours. Distracting you from what financial success actually means for your life.

Okay, So What Do We Do? (Your Lane is Your Superpower)

The fix? Shift your focus. Radically. Inward.

Here’s why YOUR path is the only one that matters:

Remember: it's not the whole story. You only see a tiny slice of their life. You don’t know the full picture. The struggles, the support, the costs. Comparing is like comparing apples to… well, a picture of an orange. Doesn't work.

You are unique. Your power is in being YOU. What are your strengths? Your values? What does success feel like for you? Lean into that. That's your gold. Define success on your own terms.

Track your own progress. Stop looking sideways. Look back. How far have you come since last month? Last year? Celebrate your growth. According to your goals.

Appreciate yourself. Seriously. Notice your wins. Big or small. Finished a tough project? Got kind feedback? Shared something scary? Acknowledge your effort. Give yourself credit.

Authenticity attracts. When you stop trying to be someone else? And just own your unique style? You become a magnet. For the right clients. The right opportunities. The ones that actually fit.
