It Starts With You
THIS is Really Your Competitive Advantage
In today’s episode, we dive into the truth about competitive advantage - what really sets you apart in your professional journey. So many of us fall into the trap of trying to replicate someone else’s path, believing that if we just follow their steps, mimic their strategies, or become more like the people we admire, we’ll find the same success. But that’s not how it works.
We often forget the messy, imperfect, behind-the-scenes journey those people went through to get where they are. You cannot copy and paste someone else’s path and expect identical results. What you can do is look for success clues: grit, tenacity, authenticity, confidence, resilience. But the true differentiator, the real competitive advantage, is much simpler:
Your competitive advantage is YOU.
Your story.
Your message.
Your brand.
Your energy.
Your skills.
Your voice.
Your presence.
The way you work with people.
The way you make people feel.
When you fully show up as yourself, with conviction, confidence, and authenticity, nothing can stop you. You’ll figure out what works for you, because you’re the one who will always be there for the entire journey. You can’t outrun yourself, so you might as well anchor deeply into who you truly are.
In this episode, we talk about how to uncover and own your unique “thing- the quality, point of view, or way of showing up that sets you apart from everyone else. If you want to stand out, you can’t look or sound like everyone else.
Your challenge this week is to dig deeper into yourself. Anchor into your story, your strengths, your message, and your personal brand. Discover the part of you that is uniquely yours and let that be the advantage you lead with.
