What happens in this Newsletter is between you and me.

Every time you open up Instagram, you see another person celebrating their new job. Or new business. Or baby. Or engagement. Or a new house. You know the drill.?

Every time you’re on LinkedIn, you’re supposed to congratulate 20 people on their work anniversary.?

Does a small part of you kind of wonder why it's not you? Some compare and despair growing inside you?

It’s okay! You're normal and I won’t tell anyone.

What happens in this newletter is between you and me.

Success expectancy is what happens when you see others around you achieving their goals and a part of you can’t help but wonder where your share of the success is hiding.

It can show up at an industry event or a reunion. Even over drinks with friends. Suddenly, you feel very unaccomplished compared to those around you. You think you should be further along.

The difference between success expectancy and straight-up envy is that you aren’t attacking the victor or diminishing their successes.

Instead, you’ve made yourself the enemy. You judge yourself. You compare and despair. You’ve made their accomplishment about you. (Whoops– was that a truth bomb?)

Success expectancy shows up in a lot of ways:

• Not achieving the results you want and therefore thinking that what you are doing is wrong and/or nothing is working
• Feeling like you should be further along based on how long you’ve been working at it
• Doing some decent work and then waxing and waning between curiosity and mild obsession about your reward or professional acknowledgment

When you show up with these thoughts in the workplace or in your own business, you are going to get more of the same. No one wants to work with someone who is dragging 300 pounds of defeat and judgment. It affects your collaboration, productivity, and outcomes.

Are you ready to channel that energy into something more effective??
