Don't beat yourself up... Just beat yourself

-Compare yourself to who you were last year. Everyone has a different journey and path. Time does not equate equal situations. Just because you’ve been doing this for 5 years and Ole Bob has only done it for 1 year and Damnit! He’s booking more than me!! I must be a failure! Chill. Breathe. We don’t know ole Bob’s story. He don’t yours either, amigo. But you do… If you’re in this game to one up somebody, focus on one upping yourself.

-How much does a custom domain matter? There’s nothing wrong with gmail and I don’t think any reasonable person would judge your worth off of your email domain. That being said, if you have a domain for your website, it’s not very expensive to set up a custom email. It can be helpful with branding and does look a bit more polished and professional.
