This episode was originally broadcast on June 22, 2021. Today I'll be talking about how we, as immigrants, measure success, as well as sharing a few tips to avoid comparing our life with people who didn't move to a new country. Three tips on how to avoid comparing your success with others Be careful with social media. We all share the good things that happen to us there, but we rarely share the bad ones. So, don't compare your real life with a social media profile.Understand that getting a job as an immigrant is more challenging than someone who has lived in a country since they were born. For example, your friends back home have a network that they have forged for decades. You just started one.And the third one. Keep the reason why you moved in mind. Print it and put it on your refrigerator, so you're constantly reminded why you decided to take the hard way and moved to a new country. Listen to the episode for all the details. Subscribe & Follow!
