It’s good to learn from others. But what worked for them may not always work for you. And that’s ok.

Whether it’s a diet, an exercise routine, a marketing strategy, a parenting technique, a business plan, a career path, or a fill_in_the_blank, just because it worked for someone else doesn’t mean it will always work in your situation. And realizing that, and being able to move on, is a necessary step in finding something that actually will work.
