077: Actionable Community Over Competition
Hi Planners!
In this episode of the Planner Life Podcast, I’m diving deep into a phrase we’ve all heard, “Community Over Competition”, and turning it into something real, actionable, and transformative for your planning career and life. This mindset has shaped everything from my business growth to how I show up for others, and I want the same for you.
You'll hear me break down what this really means (spoiler: it’s not about playing small), why it matters so much in our industry, and how it can help you build deeper relationships, book better clients, and just feel less alone.
Plus, I’m sharing six specific ways you can start living out this mindset right now - no fluff, just real steps that build connection and community.
Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years, this episode will challenge and encourage you to rethink how you engage with your peers, your business, and your purpose.
