b'Instead of measuring what you\\u2019ve missed, measure how far you\\u2019ve come\\nIf you\\u2019ve been with me for a while, you\\u2019ve probably heard me talk about the book The Gap & The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy.\\xa0\\nI won\\u2019t lie, this book has had a profound impact on my business, because it\\u2019s rewired the way I think about success and achievement.\\xa0\\nIn fact, for most of my career, I\\u2019ve held myself to a really rigid set of goals -- and if I didn\\u2019t meet them, I\\u2019d beat myself up over it.\\xa0\\nInstead of focusing on all that I did accomplish, I\\u2019d zero in on how far off I was from reaching my goal.\\nThis, sweet friend, is called living in The Gap, and it\\u2019s fairly common with high achievers and entrepreneurs. It\'s a really terrible place to hang out, because no matter how much you accomplish, there will always be a moving target that\\u2019s out of reach.\\nThe Gain is a much better place to live. So, what is The Gain? Well, it\\u2019s all about feeling grateful for the progress you do make, which in turn drives motivation, confidence, and future success. *Gasp!* That\\u2019s right, I said future success!\\nI\\u2019m so much happier now that I\\u2019m living in The Gain. Yes, I can acknowledge that I didn\\u2019t meet my goals, and yes, I can brainstorm ways to improve -- but I\\u2019ll tell \\u2018ya \\u2013 having appreciation for how far I\\u2019ve come makes a big difference in my quality of life overall.\\nIn this episode, you\\u2019ll hear more about the concept of The Gap and The Gain, why living in The Gain can absolutely change your life for the better, and steps you can take to get there.\\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
