“Most people don’t want to compare themselves to greatness; instead, they will compare themselves to average and think they’re great.” – @CamHanes
This one hit me hard.
We live in a culture where comparison is constant—but it’s often convenient comparison. We don’t compare ourselves to the highest standard… we compare ourselves to what’s comfortable.
We scroll, we measure, we self-assess—and instead of asking, Am I becoming who I’m called to be?, we settle for, At least I’m doing better than them.
But here’s the truth: As a Christian, my benchmark isn’t average. It isn’t the algorithm. It isn’t even the most successful person I know. It’s Jesus.
And yet—my ego still gets in the way. It craves validation. It wants to feel “ahead.” It looks sideways instead of upward.
I don’t say this from a place of judgment—I say it because I’ve done it. But comparison to average breeds complacency. Comparison to greatness—when done through humility—can breed growth.
What if instead of asking, Am I doing better than most? We asked, Am I becoming more like Christ?
That’s the real measure. And that’s the kind of greatness worth chasing.

Many real estate investors don't treat their real estate business as a business, they treat it as a hobby, but there IS a solution! Eddie Wilson sat down with Jim Tannehill from Empire to chat about the program and the benefits of an operating system,

This post isn’t meant to sound braggadocios or anything like that at all.
I had no idea when I installed @Grammarly on my laptop that it would capture any analytics on what I typed. My desire is to try and make sure all of my typed communication is grammatically correct and free from misspelling’s.
Out of the 2,912 words that I typed in texts and emails last week, these were the top tones that were detected. Seeing this list was very encouraging to me, but then a thought hit me…
I wonder if the same thing can be said for the actual words that I speak. Not only professionally but also privately. My gut says there are probably some differences and that I have room for improvement.
All that to say, you never know who’s listening (literally) May all of our communication be positive, uplifting, and speak life! #LetsBeGreat
Had the opportunity to present Empire to the @WeThinkRealty attendees in Tampa! Grateful to be their newest resident expert and to add value to this group of investors! #BuildYourEmpire#LetsBeGreat

Who is in charge of establishing the culture in your business? 🤔
The CEO/Owner/Leader of the business is in charge of not only establishing the right culture, but also maintains the right culture. ⚖️
It is our duty to protect our culture at all costs. It only takes a small amount of pollution to negatively effect all of the fish in the tank 🐠
