I have a reader question to share today:
I’ve been “organizing” my stuff for pretty much my whole life. It’s a running joke among my friends. In a lot of ways, I have my internal stuff together, but I’m pretty sure the external struggle is mirroring something internal. Do you have any suggestions on how to [...]

In case you missed it, here’s the archived show I did today about the emotions around comparison and competition in small business life.
Here’s a summary of what I talked about:
