We have heard the phrase over and over again, "That the Grass isn't always Greener on the other side".
Yet we always manage to be in somebody else's yard and checking out what they have.

This is a terrible trap that many of us as new salespeople fall into comparing ourselves to others.
People will also try to get you to believe that their grass is always greener, better, softer, but you don't know how they got where they are, and what they had to do to get there.
Isn't it strange that the other person has always got the best job, the best sales patch, the biggest customers etc. and that's why they are more successful than me?
How many times have you thought that or indeed said it to your fellow sales peoples.
Have you ever stopped to wonder how they got the best job, best sales patch, biggest customers etc.
It certainly wasn't by sitting moaning to themselves or to others.
Our success is not measured by comparing to others. In fact comparisons will leave you exhausted, frustrated, and not believing in yourself.
Success is to be measured by our personal goals we set, measured against what we have accomplished.
When we focus on others, that's right, focus, then we take our focus off of our own goals, which means that we are unable to accomplish them.
Focus is one of the keys to success.
So all we need to do is loose our focus and then we become frustrated, wondering why we can't succeed.
The answer is plain and simple, "The Grass Isn't Always Greener on the other side", so let's stick to our own plans!
