Have you ever stopped to wonder if the things you’re chasing are actually yours to want?
As entrepreneurs and high achievers, we often set goals that sound impressive — the revenue milestones, the dream house, the next big launch. But how many of those desires were truly chosen, and how many were simply borrowed from the world around us?
In this episode of Success Genius, we’re diving into the hidden force that shapes what we want: mimetic desire — the unconscious imitation of others’ ambitions. You’ll discover why so many of our goals are influenced by comparison, how to spot when you’re caught in borrowed wants, and most importantly, how to begin wanting well.
Join me as we explore how to reclaim your authentic desires and design a life that’s truly your own. Because success isn’t just about reaching the next milestone — it’s about making sure the life you’re building actually belongs to you.
