EPISODE 53: THE GAP AND THE GAIN

High achievers share a paradox: no matter how much they accomplish, they never feel successful. Dan Sullivan discovered why—they measure against "the gap" instead of "the gain." The gap is the distance between where you are and your ideal. The gain is the distance between where you are and where you started. Ideals are horizons—they move as you approach. But gains are factual. Measuring backwards produces motivation, confidence, and wellbeing that gap-thinking never can. Key Topics: Dan Sullivan, the gap and the gain, goal setting, measuring progress, achievement, gratitude, high performers, mindset, success psychology Today's Practice: Before setting tomorrow's goals, measure today's gains. Write down three ways you're better or further along than one year ago. Let yourself feel that progress before deciding what's next. Master the mind. Your life will follow.]]>
