You sit down somewhere quiet. Maybe in a coffee shop. Maybe on your couch after a long day. And out of nowhere, a thought hits you.

Why am I not more successful?

Maybe you thought you’d have kids by now. Or a business that prints money. Or a name people actually recognize. Maybe you thought you’d own a house. And that you’d have it all figured out.

But none of that has happened.

So you start comparing.

• This guy was a millionaire by 30.
• She had a bestseller by 26.
• He became a CEO at 40.
• She retired at 48.

So what?

They are not you. But it still stings, right?

“Why not me?”
