Summary
What matters most to you – PROGRESS or PERFECTION?
Let's say at the beginning of the month you have a goal, and in the process of taking action and moving towards achieving that goal, you are growing, transforming, and building confidence in yourself.
However, as you reach the end of the month, you fall short of hitting the goal.
And that horrible voice begins racing through your head – 'I'm a FAILURE.'
You feel like a failure because you're comparing your reality to where you wanted to be at the end of the month.
However, instead of focusing on the 'gap,' compare where you are today to where you started.
Focus on the 'gain' – the growth and the progress you made – and celebrate your small wins!
Remember, the true purpose of a goal is not achieving it, it's to help you grow and become better.
In this episode, I share the life-changing shift in perspective that will help you experience sustainable success and fulfillment in your business.
On February 15th, I'm hosting a FREE Masterclass on how to run the #1 tool for rank advancement on your team – Weekly Accountability Meetings.
