58. The Ultimate Mindset Upgrade for 2025: Focus on the Gain, Not the Gap

Your Limitless Life

Hey, Limitless Lifers! 🌟

Are you ready to approach 2025 with fresh eyes, more fulfillment, and an unstoppable mindset? This week, I’m sharing one of the most life-changing lessons I’ve learned: the power of shifting from a gap mindset to a gain mindset. This idea, introduced in the incredible book The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy, has completely transformed how I measure success and embrace my journey—and it can do the same for you.

Here’s the deal: The gap is where most of us spend our time—always focusing on what’s missing, what we haven’t achieved, or how far we still have to go. Sound familiar? It’s exhausting and leaves us feeling stuck, even when we’ve made significant progress. The gain, however, is all about celebrating how far you’ve come, focusing on your wins, and using that positivity to propel you forward. Let me tell you, this simple shift has been a game-changer for me, and I can’t wait to share how it can transform your business and life too.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why Comparison is a Trap: I’ll break down how our society’s obsession with hustle culture and comparison culture keeps us stuck in the gap—and how to break free.
• How to Reframe Success: We’ll redefine what success means to you, moving away from external markers and toward meaningful, personal growth and impact.
• Daily Practices for a Gain Mindset: Learn the three simple journaling questions I ask myself every day to stay grounded in gratitude and progress.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the constant chase for "more" or stuck in the belief that you’re not doing enough, this episode is for you. It’s time to ditch the gap mentality, embrace the gains you’ve made, and enter 2025 with renewed energy and confidence.

I challenge you to spend a few minutes today reflecting on how far you’ve come this year. What wins can you celebrate? And how will you bring that gratitude and growth mindset into the new year? If this episode inspires you, please share it with a friend or leave a review—it means the world to me and helps more people discover these transformational principles.

Let’s make 2025 the year we measure our progress by the gain! 💫
