When we compare ourselves to other people our work gets worse not better.
And yet it’s a totally human experience: “they have people buying, listening, reading, clicking their stuff, why don’t I have that?”
On the show today we share how to look at this issue from a vantage point that will lead you to better work and a more honest way to frame your own path. Enjoy!

The Top 10 Mistakes in Online Business
Every week we talk with entrepreneurs. We talk about what’s working and what isn’t. We talk about successes and failures. We spend time with complete newbies, seasoned veterans, and everything in between.
One topic that comes up over and over again with both groups is mistakes made in starting businesses. Newbies love to learn about mistakes so they can avoid them. Veterans love to talk about what they wish they had known when starting out.
These conversations have been fascinating, so we compiled a list of the 10 mistakes we hear most often into a nifty lil' guide. Get the 10 Most Common Mistakes in Starting an Online Business here »
I dunno about other listeners, but I have a Pavlovian response to “Hello and welcome to the Fizzle Showwwwwwwww.”
Puts pep in the ol’ step. Revs the sometimes rusty entrepreneurial engine.
I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m ready & waiting for Chase’s first stand-up comedy album on iTunes.
I know I’m late to the party but here’s the secret to luck (from XOXO):

A little dry but worth the watch.
I roll my eyes every time I hear someone say that so-and-so’s tactics from 10 years ago won’t work for them. Of course they won’t. The internet in 2016 is as different from the internet in 2006 as TV in 2016 is different from TV in 1956.
I was there for this, Josh. Blew my mind. Thanks for sharing!
Really, guys. You must get back to the format that was tighter – when Caleb was around and soon after Barrett joined – and the dynamic settled when Chase no longer felt threatened…. Can no longer see the wood for the trees …so often. Annoying as f* – a full 12 mins of wasted data before hitting some ground then just when I think you’ve settled into it……. we slew off track with no obvious sign then we’ll get back soon. I ditched membership because of it and had been a member for around a year. Chase can be fun but ? wasn’t well for a while, I felt it, hard times in life, I know – Corbett… I could listen to you for days. And you, too, Chase going back a time but not for now. Barrett – bright spark…. give him his freedom. Steph…. I feel your frustration at times and acknowledge your patience. Fizzle’s grown and, no doubt, is likely to sustain itself but you’re less powerful than you were.
Maybe I got out of membership all I could – certainly helped me through train smash of family breakup because I held on to my biz dreams. The same biz that now sustains my estranged family…. wow. And I’m free. For now tho’ can’t just keep listening to the drivvel…. just ain’t Fizzle anymore
