What is the difference between jealousy and envy? We often use these terms interchangeably, but whether you realize it or not, these words have very different meanings. As an entrepreneur, you have likely experienced moments of jealousy or envy of a fellow entrepreneur. How you handle and react to these feelings can have a positive – or negative – impact on your life and business.
In this episode, I explain the difference between jealousy and envy and I share my personal experiences with these powerful forces. I also explain how to identify when you’re feeling jealous or envious of others, how to identify when other people are feeling this way about you and your success, and how you can use jealousy or envy as a positive force in your business and life.
