7 Signs You're Playing Small (And How to Stop)

Most people live their lives playing small, shrinking themselves, and holding back from living a full life. Most of us are guilty of this at some point in our lives.

Playing small doesn't serve you in any way; as a matter of fact, it robs you of opportunities and experiences that you rightly deserve.

How many times have you heard people in a workplace comment that the person who got promoted didn't deserve the position? That some other people were better than them?

That person definitely didn't play small while others were doing it. They raised their hand and stepped forward.

The same thing happens in business and in life.
