This Episode: Quit Beating Yourself Up
As entrepreneurs, we place so much pressure on ourselves to keep going, keep grinding, and we often end up getting caught in the weeds and measuring ourselves against an ideal that frankly, doesn’t exist. In this episode of Real Retail TV, I discuss a concept from Dan Sullivan’s book, The Gap And The Gain. The idea is to measure your success backwards and focus on all of the things you have accomplished. Get out of the gap and focus on the gain.
If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. I always love to hear from you.
As always, you inspire me so much and help me focus on the forward thinking (even while studying the GAIN in retrospect) and prevent me from getting mired in the mucky GAP! Thanks for articulating the difference and for suggesting the book. I’ve seen it on Audible but think I’ll buy it and work through it. And I’ll check out Dan Sullivan’s books as well. Thanks again… you’re awesome!!
Thank you for your comment, Kate! You will be glad you read the book!
Thanks for the reminder that what we’ve done is worth celebrating. It seems that we’re constantly told that if we’re not posting on social media, doing short video, long video, live video, on the newest platform, we’re not doing enough. If our website isn’t _____, if our displays aren’t _____, if we don’t send x emails, it isn’t enough. It’s exhausting. Thanks
You’re welcome, Linda! You’ve got this.
Loved the concept of looking back at what I accomplished. It’s a definite change of thought pattern, but sounds very doable.
Thank you,
Sherree
Sherree, it’s amazing what a change in thought pattern can do. You’re welcome!
