SUMMARY:LIVE: Wellbeing Session - The Comparison Trap
DESCRIPTION:Do you track your sales obsessively? Feel a pang when you see another author succeeding? Struggle to know whether your progress is ‘enough’? \nThis session is for you. \nHosts Dan Blank and Sarah Begley will unpick the anxiety that comes with tracking sales\, watching others succeed\, and measuring your own progress honestly. \nWe’ll open with a f-r-e-e-writing prompt to get you grounded\, then explore together: \n\nImposter syndrome and the highlight reel problem\nHow to look at your numbers without them defining you\nThe difference between useful data and harmful obsession\nReframing what ‘success’ means for your specific author path\n\nThe session is gently structured to balance reflection with open conversation. Bring your challenges\, your comparisons\, your inner critic – and let’s work through it together. \nThe chat facility is open throughout. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels right. Participation is encouraged\, never required. \n~~~ \nThese sessions are part of ALLi’s ongoing commitment to author mental health and wellbeing. All members welcome. \n~~~ \nMeet your hosts… \nDan Blank is the founder of WeGrowMedia where he helps writers develop a human-centered approach to marketing and reaching their audience. He is also the author of Be the Gateway: A Practical Guide to Sharing Your Creative Work and Engaging an Audience. \nDan has worked with thousands of writers\, and amazing organizations who support creative people\, such as Penguin Random House\, Sesame Workshop\, Hachette Book Group\, and many more. \nYou can find Dan at https://WeGrowMedia.com\, his weekly newsletter at https://danblank.substack.com or on social media @DanBlank. \nSarah Begley is ALLi’s Member Support Manager and a passionate advocate for the wellbeing of business owners. As a content marketer and VA\, she takes the marketing and administrative weight off her clients’ shoulders\, because she knows first-hand how easily that load can overwhelm the joy and creativity that drew them to their work in the first place. \nYou can find Sarah at https://virtualmissbegley.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahabegley/
