The Gap and the Gain: Measure Backward (08.28.26)

As we head into the last weekend of August, it’s easy to look at the calendar and start measuring everything we haven’t done yet.Did I make enough money?Did I hit the goal?Did I take the vacation?Did I spend enough time with the people I love?Am I where I thought I’d be by now?But when we constantly measure ourselves against some ideal version of where we think we should be, we live in the Gap.This morning we talked about a powerful idea from The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy:Stop measuring forward. Start measuring backward.Instead of only looking at how far you still have to go, turn around and look at how far you’ve already come.What have you learned?What have you survived?What have you changed?What have you accomplished?Who have you become?That doesn’t mean we stop wanting more or setting big goals.It means we stop using the distance between where we are and where we want to be as evidence that we’re not doing enough.You can be grateful for your progress and hungry for what’s next.So as August comes to a close, take a minute and measure backward.You may be a lot further along than you’ve been giving yourself credit for.Measure the GAIN, not the GAP.#The6AMCall #ICYMI #TheGapAndTheGain #Mindset #PersonalGrowth #RealEstateMindset
