Mindset Shift: Gap Vs. Gain Mentality
Mindset Shift: The Power of Focusing on the Gain
In today's video, we’re diving into a powerful mental framework that can completely shift how you experience progress and success: the Gap vs. the Gain mentality.
Coined by Dan Sullivan, this concept is all about how we measure our growth. When you’re in the Gap, you’re constantly comparing yourself to an ideal future or someone else’s success — and no matter how far you’ve come, it never feels like enough. It’s a recipe for burnout, frustration, and feeling stuck.
But when you live in the Gain, you measure your progress by how far you’ve come from where you started. It’s a mindset of gratitude, growth, and forward momentum.
