In this episode of the Franchise My Business podcast, Kevin Oldham discusses the book The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan. He shares what it means to live in the gap versus in the gain and why the latter is a healthier way to evaluate yourself against yourself.
Living in the gain is a great way to recalibrate your way of thinking so you do see what you have already achieved while also having a clear vision of what you still hope to gain.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
The gap blinds you from what you have already achieved – Kevin: “We will call that living in the gap, the gap between what you have now and what you aspire to have in the future. So what I don’t have today, that is the gap.”
The gain shows you the progress you have made – Kevin: “Look at your calendar, look at what meetings you have that day. It’ll start to stir up conversations around what was happening 365 days ago or you can do the same exercise 5 years ago. When you do that, you’re going to take a look at the gain, how far you’ve come from that previous point to today.”
