Shakespeare didn't become Shakespeare by studying Shakespeare

Shakespeare didn’t become Shakespeare by study of Shakespeare.

There’s always someone that looks like they’re doing better than you.

Someone richer, bigger, with a feature you don’t have, yet.

When it comes to competition as a human or company, I prefer to focus on competing with myself vs others.

Compete on what you can control.

Control your focus, what you measure, what edges you polish.

Looking to the breakout successes in the world, they weren’t focused on being someone else or being a better version of X.

Define you and be the greatest possible version of that.

The world will recognize it, eventually.
