My quiet Saturday night reflection:

I tend to compare myself to my peers...I am still working at a normal 9-5 job and sometimes I get caught up in the "competition" at work. Sometimes I am tempted to get an MBA, etc.

Besides hitting your business out of the park, what is the best way to deprogram yourself from the slow lane?
