The Frog Pond Effect
This week we share a powerful message from author and speaker, Sahil Bloom. Sahil’s message is a great reminder that for any achievement or goal personally or professionally there will be a cost.
The key question is are we willing to pay that price?

There is a cost of entry for everything you want to achieve in life.
Everyone wants the reward:
- The growth
- The level-up
- The next chapter
But few are willing to pay the cost of entry to achieve it.
Because the cost isn't simply the time, energy, or effort—it's deeper than that. It's psychological. It's emotional. It's personal.
The Frog Pond Effect is the idea that the way we feel about ourselves depends on our relative positioning more so than our absolute performance.
In other words, the same frog feels better about itself in a small pond than it does in a big pond. Its absolute size has not changed, but its relative positioning has.
Unfortunately, the things that feel good to us in the short-term are rarely the things that are good for us in the long-term.
The comfort and safety of remaining in the small pond becomes a limiter.
And moving yourself to the bigger pond is painful:
- It's the discomfort of being the dumbest one in the room
- It's the imposter syndrome of feeling like you'll be exposed
- It's the ego hit that comes from being at the back of the pack
- It's the embarrassment of being a beginner again
Reframe that pain as a positive. It means you're on the right track. It means you're placing yourself into environments where you'll be forced to level up. It means you're about to break through.
Remember: You asked for the growth, so pay the cost of entry with pride.
So, do you need to find a bigger pond?
If your business needs marketing that works, give us a call. We're here to help!
Have a great day unless you chose otherwise!
