You madehow muchmoney from your last freelance project?

I asked my friend after she told me what she got paid for a freelance writing assignment.

I couldnt believe it.

There was jealousy, too, if Im being honest.

This brought up a lot of doubt and negative self-talk.

Who has the cutest kid?

Who makes the most money?

The thing is, were all here for a reason.

We all have gifts to share with the world, and theres more than enough good to go around.

(Remember, these are your friends!)

They’re people you love and wish nothing, but good things for, right?

So send blessings their way.

As Napoleon Hill says inThink and Grow Rich, bless others who have what you want to have.

For example, I have a good friend who is also a writing coach.

Shes further ahead in her business than I am because shes been at it longer.

This means were not technically competitors.

Then youll realize theres nothing to compare or be in competition about.

If you and your friend have similar businesses or goals in life, why not partner up?

Each of you brings your skill sets to the table, and see where you complement each other.

That is the perfect starting place for a partnership.

If you seem to have a lot of jealousy, you may need to dig deeper.

Here are some ways to do that:

In the end these are your friends were talking about!

You want to be happy for them and love them (and yourself).

Their success doesnt make you less capable of achieving big things.
