Summary
Welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute for the Creative Capital Podcast. Today, I want to talk about my takeaway from the book The Gap and The Gain. At this day and age, a huge chunk of our time is dedicated on the Internet and most of the time, we get to see the highlight reels of our friends, family, and strangers alike. While it’s a good thing to be updated with these people’s life through a screen, more often than not, we tend to compare our life to what we see on the Internet. And that is exactly what I want to expound on today–that we should focus on our life’s gain as opposed to pinpointing and stressing out over the gaps. And in doing so, you might be surprised with how much you have actually achieved. Let’s dive in!
The Gap vs. The Gain
- How technology allows us to compare our lives with others
- Targets move as we progress in life
- Avoid comparing your achievements to the gap
- Think about your gain
-
- Focus on where you started
- Look at how far you’ve come from your starting point
- It will feel like you’re always moving the needle

Key Quotes:
“The target is continuing to move as you are continuing to progress in your life. And that's not a bad thing. Obviously, that's a fantastic thing that you're growing and scaling and continuing to do more and more and better and better in your life.” - Josh Ferrari

| 0:00.0 | What's up everybody welcome back to this week's segment of the No Limit Minute. |
| 0:06.2 | I'm excited about today's particular show episode today because we're talking about something |
| 0:13.6 | that I and I feel like a lot of us really struggle with because with the world of smartphones, |
| 0:20.7 | with the world of technology, with the world of just the digital era, you are at the ease of your |
| 0:26.8 | fingertips able to see how successful other people are and different things that they're doing |
| 0:33.5 | and how many units they got and the level of money that they're making on a deal and just all |
| 0:39.2 | these different things how great their their marriages, how great they are with their kids, |
| 0:44.4 | you know, all these areas of life that you may feel like you're failing in and it's because |
| 0:50.1 | you're seeing what everyone else is doing and then you're then taking that reversing it and |
| 0:55.3 | comparing it to yourself and that is the absolute worst thing that you can ever do. |
| 1:01.6 | And so what I want to talk about today is the gap in the game and for the life of me, |
| 1:06.6 | I cannot remember the author but I promise it will be in the show notes, the author of this book |
| 1:11.4 | gap in the game. When I read this book and honestly I need to read it again, but it was game change |
| 1:17.6 | because when you think about comparison and when you think about where other people are and what |
| 1:23.3 | they're doing and even yourself and you think about your own business and your own life, |
| 1:27.8 | the gap is always going to be what you haven't achieved yet. It's always going to be a moving |
| 1:35.1 | target whereas now if you're looking to get into real estate investing, you you may have nothing |
| 1:40.6 | and I mean like no units or something of the sort and I go, okay, if I can just get five units, |
| 1:45.6 | I'll be doing great, you know, I can go full time in this thing or I feel like I'll have, you know, |
| 1:50.9 | another $1,500 a month in passive income and that's really what I'm looking to have, |
| 1:56.4 | looking to have some play money or something of the sort. And so you get those five units and then |
| 2:00.4 | all of a sudden you're like, well dang, that was kind of that was kind of easy or I kind of like |
