Liner Notes - Don’t Be Bitter, Be Better

Professional jealousy is a bitch. No two ways about it. It is one of the hardest things to overcome. We all have egos and a skill set we feel pretty good about, so it stings when a friend or competitor one-ups us. You think, why them? Why not me? But, those aren’t the questions you should be asking.

Sure, doing a little soul-searching might help. How do I stack up? When was my last certification training class? How do I get what’s coming to me? Conversely, one might otherwise wonder what could I learn from those I envy. There’s no shortage of folks willing to share their success stories. What did they do differently, and what mindsets helped them breakthrough? The beauty of the wraps market is how open people are to help. Not just flying across the country to lend a hand, but opening their playbooks to help you run a better business. I’m talking true WrapFam spirit. Guys like Tyler Dunn and Jim Miller welcome people into their facilities to spend time, hone their craft, and learn new and better ways to run their businesses. Justin Pate puts training online for everyone to see. The installation keys to the kingdom, if you will.

These aren’t just tutorials—they’re insights into what separates the good from the great. When you absorb these lessons, you’re not just learning skills; you’re elevating your own game to the next level. In fact, every writer in our magazine is offering you a chance to better yourself, if you’ll open your mind to learn from others. Take that knowledge, absorb it, adapt to it, make it your own, and go get what’s yours.

Cheers!
